Amazing door lock at a good price!
The installation was very easy. Maybe took around 10 minutes to install the door lock itself. My door didn’t have a deadlock so I had to drill a hole to install one. I bought a deadbolt installation kit from Home Depot. The product itself looks good.The build quality seems as expected. No complaints there. I love the fact that it has a fingerprint reader. I considered the U50 which is cheaper but does not have a fingerprint reader. I’m glad I got the one that does because it’s much easier for many of my family members rather than having them pull out their phone to unlock it. Many of the settings are customizable in the app. I can adjust after how long I want the door to lock.Apple HomeKit works amazing too. That is the main reason I bought this product. I have had no issues getting HomeKit to work. I love that I can share the lock with family members and I also like that I can generate a one time password to let guests in the house when I’m not home. You can create automations in the HomeKit app. I created one that will lock the doors after 10:00 PM.I bought this product for $132, and I would recommend it.

Wow! Great lock so far. Probably the best smart lock I’ve ever owned.
FYI: I’m judging this lock based on both my experience with it so far AND in comparison to our Level Lock Plus, which is the “other” Apple Home Key compatible lock.We’ve been using our Level Lock Plus for about a year now and it’s been a surprising disappointment. We incorrectly assumed that the build quality, marketing, US support, etc. meant it would do what we needed it to do. It didn’t.So when we got a sale notice from Amazon on the Agara lock we figured we should give it a try.The documentation (which is available online when you scan the QR code in the box) could be better but the installation is just about what you’d expect. If you’ve installed smart locks before you’ll be fine.The build quality of the lock is good, though if you’ve already had a “higher-end” lock like Levels it will feel cheaper. I don’t believe it’s cheaper in a way that would shorten the life of the lock or hinder its use in any way. It’s a good quality product.The app, like the documentation, could be better. It’s not as intuitive as most others and the keyboard (in iOS anyway) has a habit of covering the screen so you can’t see what you’re typing. It’s a minor annoyance at best when you compare the functionality…This lock easily beats any of the locks I’ve had to date. It provides access via HomeKey and most NFC devices, a code with the integrated keypad, accurate fingerprint access, and a conventional key which is included (x2).Each user can store up to 10 prints which seem like overkill but I’ll take it. Each individual print is saved using a collection of 6 scans (just like Apple’s TouchID) and while I rarely use it, it’s never failed to open the door on the first try.But if HomeKit and HomeKey are your primary reason for purchasing this lock just stop reading and buy it.With the Level Lock you have to wake and unlock your device before it’ll unlock the door. I use both an iPhone and an Apple Watch. The Apple Watch refuses to open the level lock 90% of the time. Our cameras send us a notification when we get to the door so we need to clear that notification and return to the home screen for the lock to have any hope of opening. Most of the time it still doesn’t.But the Aqara lock just works. Notification? It doesn’t care. In Facebook? No problem. The HomeKey implementation is bulletproof. No fiddling or having to mess with stuff. If you hold either device to the lock it opens.We tested the Aqara U100 because our Level Lock was very unstable and uncooperative. The reason we switched was because the Level lock started unlocking on its own. We lock up and leave and the lock opens by itself 15 seconds later.Thus far the U100 has shown NO signs of being prone to similar faults.Conclusion: The Aqara U100 is a great lock. Its battery lasts longer and it performs far better than the presumed market leader by every metric. Can’t see a reason to buy anything else.Congratulations Aqara!You put out a fantastic product.Thank you for it.

Had this lock for a few months now, it is on the main door so it is used very frequently and has not missed a beat, we have both the pin and fingerprint setup and it works flawlessly, the only issue is that it requires a separate hub to connect to Google assistant which is what we use for our smart home, otherwise it is configurable via the aqara app on Bluetooth.Installation process was a breeze, instructions were clear and informative, weather seal seems to work very well on rainy days.
