What this deadbolt handles at your entry
- Before bringing it home: this lock fits left or right swing doors between 1⅜" and 2" thick. Check your door edge before ordering.
- You'll also need to confirm your existing deadbolt bore and backset match what the Lockly install guide expects.
A front door that needs to work for family, guests and deliveries without you handing out spare keys is exactly what the Lockly Secure Pro is built for. It replaces your existing deadbolt and gives you a fingerprint reader, a PIN keypad and a physical key on one lock.
The PIN Genie keypad is the part worth paying attention to. It shows four buttons with three numbers each, and the numbers shuffle after every use, so a passerby can't learn your code by watching where your finger lands. You can also issue offline access codes that work during a set window without WiFi or internet, which is handy for a cleaner, pet sitter or contractor.
The fingerprint sensor is rated to recognize in 0.3 seconds and unlock in 0.5 seconds, and it stores up to 99 prints. For a busy household where everyone comes and goes at different hours, we'd consider that faster than digging for a key in the rain.
What the $229.99 price actually gets you
At $229.99, this is a premium electronic deadbolt rather than a budget keypad lock. The current offer sits $28.35 below the typical price over the last 90 days of $258.34, which is an 11 percent difference.
That comparison is useful context, but it describes a recent average rather than a former selling price. If you have been watching this lock, the gap is real but modest.
Lockly backs the mechanical parts and finish for five years and the electronics for two, with lifetime technical support. Those coverage terms matter on a product with a fingerprint sensor and motorized bolt, because they tell you the manufacturer expects the hardware to last beyond the return window.

Fitting it to your door and keeping it running
The included WiFi hub is what lets you check lock status and get alerts from your phone when you are away. If your entry is far from your router, test the signal at the door before you commit, since the hub needs a reliable connection to deliver those alerts.
The lock runs on batteries, so plan on replacing them periodically; the app and lock will tell you when power is low. Because Lockly lists rekeying capability, you may be able to swap the key cylinder later using a standard rekey kit rather than replacing the whole unit, which is worth knowing if you want one key for several doors.
Care is mostly routine. Wipe the keypad and fingerprint reader with a soft dry cloth, and keep the bolt area clear of grit so the motor doesn't strain. Check the batteries before a long trip rather than after a low-battery alert.
When this lock is the wrong fit
Skip it if your door has a round latch hole, or if the door falls outside the supported 1⅜" to 2" thickness. Those are hard compatibility limits, not installation quirks, and no amount of adjustment will make the deadbolt sit correctly.
If you rent and cannot modify the door, a smart lock that replaces the existing deadbolt is a conversation with your landlord before it is a purchase. And if you want the lowest possible entry price, a basic keypad deadbolt without a fingerprint sensor or WiFi hub will cost less.
One more check before you buy: confirm the Lockly app works with the phone you carry daily, and confirm you are comfortable managing codes for everyone who needs access.
