It is manufacturing defect. After the replacement it is ok so far. Mine is Ultraloq U Bolt Pro

Any feedback on KeyWe ones? Originally I wanted to get Yale but now I’m giving KeyWe a serious consideration.

As I shared in another thread, my Ultraloq Smart Deadbolt's clutch was dead too after a few months of usage.
It's still working until now after replacement.
More than 2 years of usage now..
The WiFi bridge is dead for 2nd time and I don't bother to get a replacement.


Perhaps, you can check on Amazon review for keywe's products.
For me, I value reliability more than number of features.
Hence, I'll skip keywe for my new house digital lock.

any suggestions for a digital lock on a grille door? cz the normal ones for wooden door cannot be used right? any xiaomi grille door locks? thanks in advance sifus

Cheap and decent, ABrain.

Expensive and very good, Yale.

Abrain is not cheap, china brand claiming to be German

It is a Malaysia brand from Penang, using German tech and like most locks made in China.

Lol! And I believed 🐖 can fly!

Well for the price vs features it is definitely hard to beat but I would not personally buy one.

I prefer those that are made in Korea and sold by a more reputable company as rather not have something that becomes a pain to hunt for parts.

Wah, just checked out abrian. It really isn't cheap. Seems like it is some subscription thing. Any other cheaper alternatives to recommend?

Which design you like? I check for you.

My condo will be ready next year and I am interested in having digital door locks for both of my grille and my main door. Any combo or 2x individual set to recommend around RM 2.5k budget?

Grille door lock is more costly because need double sided. If buy from online shop should meet your budget. 2.5k including installation?
Which will you choose?

I think it will depend on what your door and grille is like as well.. need to see which lock works better for your door.

kenot just buy any brand and model.
later thickness incorrect.
i found out that yale brand got a special benefit if u use the same for grille and the wooden door........u unlock the grille the wooden door oso unlock together

What feature is that ? Sounds cool

This is a cool feature. Which model has this?

found out from my installer only Yale brand can do that.
but is it specific to certain models i am not sure.
also yale certain models can be problematic he told me.

abrain also got this feature but must use remote....

btw abrain is an over priced product....

this is one of the top brands is US so they claim

not sure about the new model but the august smartlock pro is excellent, only gripe is the WIFI connect dongle which does get disconnected at times.

the best feature for me is the auto unlock when you are in front of the door granted you must have your mobile with you.

you may use the keypad or even your key to unlock the door.

it has all the other standard features you would find in a smart lock, ie guest keys and so forth.
