Hornbill Smart Front Door Lock Set, Keyless Entry Door Lock with Handle, Smart Deadbolt Keypad Lock, Alexa Front Door Handle Set, Bluetooth Digital Lock with APP/IC Cards/Auto Lock/1-Touch Lock/Keys

Broke once, but has been good since
Update: I didn’t realize I needed a gateway which is a separate item to purchase that connects the lock to your phone through Wi-Fi. This will change everything. That allows you to do everything from a distance. That was a misunderstanding in my part, theirs is only $26 and is a must for Airbnb owners. Knowing this I would definitely recommend it as everything else has been good. It did break once, but we fixed it and it has been great ever since.Customer service has also been great in helping me with the things I need.Old review: We use it for our AirBnb, it has some great features, but there are definitely some cons as well.Pros: I like how I can assign a timed passcode to someone and have it expire when I want it to.-the buttons are nice and easy to touch and are very responsive.-the app with the lock is relatively easy to useCons: The lock broke one time after only having it for about a month stranding our guests outside.-The timed passcodes that are generated are so long requiring guests to put in an 8 digit code to get in. It would be nice to be able to give them a 4 digit code instead.-It just seems like every once in a while it doesn’t work even after generating a new one or giving our personal passcode to them leaving our guests stranded outside.For AirBnb hosts, I don’t know if i can recommend it becasue of the occassional headaches it gives us while we are away. It isn’t horrible, but you have to leave emergency keys hidden somewhere for guests. There may be other locks that are a little more reliable, I haven’t done the research, if you can’t find any others then this works. I wouldn’t buy it again, but it’s good enough to not need to change it out with another one if that makes sense.

A Great Lock Set
I purchased this lock set and installed it in about 45 minutes. I have to say I am very pleased with the product and the installation. The lock set is very well made and the various options to unlock or lock the door is a very big bonus. To have keys, Key pad, app, Chip or fingerprint is great. Installations was simple and the instructions were easy to follow. I would definitely purchase this item again.

*Edited* Difficult to install, didn’t immediately work correctly
6/8/23 – I am editing this review. Since installing a year ago, we have not had any issues with the lock. Additionally, the manufacturer reached out to me after my review posted and wanted more information, and has since updated their design. I would recommend.I bought this lock for our new home that we just moved into. I figured I would get with the times, and after reading the reviews it seemed like it would be an easy lock to install. I was very wrong – it literally took my boyfriend all day to install this lock. What the reviews didn’t tell me is that if you have a wood door, it is MUCH easier than a metal door. We had the old typical deadbolt previously and the hole was nowhere near the size needed for this lock. He had to not only adjust the hole in the door, but also in the door frame. They didn’t align well, he had to keep going to the store for parts… it was a literal nightmare and at one point we were too far in to turn around so he had to keep going. He has installed many, many things before and it wasn’t due to his lack of ability, it was simply the design and the metal door.After install, we were glad to finally have it done. I downloaded the app, it synced right up. But then… when I pressed ‘lock’ it actually UNlocked the door, and vice versa. Pulled back out the instructions… read that there is a toggle inside that needs set to left or right, depending on hinges, and if that isn’t right then the lock will do the opposite of what it should. The hinges are on the left, my boyfriend had set it to the left. Just to see if it would work, off went the cover again, he switched the toggle switch to the right, replaced the cover. Tried it again… still reverse of what it should be. I noticed in the app that you can select in there where the hinges are, so I selected left but it kept ‘failing’ and wasn’t able to complete that in the app. We gave up for the night.Next day, contacted customer support. The very foreign person suggested that I go into the app, into a section that DOESN’T EXIST, to make an adjustment. I told her that I didn’t have that option, she told me to hold. During the hold, I went back into the section of the app that allows you to select your hinge side. This time, it allowed me to sync it to the left. I went and tried the door…. and it worked. FINALLY. Funny thing is, the toggle switch inside is still set to ‘right.’ So I don’t know, but at least it works now.I haven’t had it long enough to give any feedback on the longevity of the lock and if it continues to work. I am hoping that it does. At this point, I would not purchase this lock again.

The Hornbill Smart Deadbolt Lock with Handle Set strikes an impressive balance between innovation and functionality, all while keeping your wallet happy at around $150. In the world of smart locks, that’s refreshingly reasonable for what you get.Let’s talk looks first. The oil-rubbed bronze finish adds a touch of classic elegance that works with most door styles. It’s not trying too hard to look “techy” – instead, it gives off that timeless door hardware vibe while hiding its smart features behind a sleek exterior.The real magic happens with its versatility. This lock is like the Swiss Army knife of door security, offering 10 different ways to get in, including a smartphone app, keypad codes, IC cards, and good old-fashioned keys. The anti-peep password feature is particularly clever – you can add random numbers before or after your code to fool any nosy onlookers.Installation is surprisingly straightforward. You can get it done in about 30 minutes with basic tools, and the included instructions are actually helpful (a rare feat in the DIY world). The lock is built to last too, with testing showing it works fine in temperatures from -4°F to 158°F – perfect for whatever weather throws your way.The app interface is intuitive, letting you lock and unlock with a tap, set temporary codes for visitors, and check your door’s status. The auto-lock feature is a godsend for the forgetful among us, automatically securing the door after a preset time. And if you’re into smart home integration, it plays nice with Alexa and Google Home (though you’ll need a separate gateway).There are a few minor quirks – like most smart locks, the app can occasionally be finicky with Bluetooth connectivity. But the physical keypad and traditional key backup mean you’re never locked out, even if your phone dies.For the price point, the Hornbill delivers exceptional value. It offers the security features of premium smart locks at a more accessible price tag, without compromising on build quality or functionality. If you’re looking to dip your toes into smart home security without diving too deep into your savings, this lock hits the sweet spot of features, reliability, and affordability.

got this arrived jagged.didnt work as smooth as i expected.Wanted a refund and it was going to cost me more than half of purchase to send it back.So i now have a nice antique door lock sitting in the store….Bad market

My last one was bought from Homedepot after only one and half year. All good except torque motor dose not work any more. It can not auto lock. I found this one is good. All installation instruction, hardware and tool even has tools. Good quality and easy to install 20mins completed all including clean up ground
