I took out a faulty Yale deadlock on my wooden apartment front door, and having checked the measurements carefully with the instructions (before ordering!), I found it very easy to install. It took a couple of hours, but mainly because my old door has had a couple of previous locks. I do have a lot of tools available, and in my case needed chisels, drill, screwdrivers & some filler …. but in a new door, this should be a dream to fit.
I am really impressed with how it works, too. I don't need a separate control hub for this model, as it works through WiFi & is powered by battery.
The eufy security app is *very good*, and this made the difference for me, against a similar offering from a very well known company (named above).
So, I can open the door with codes, my fingerprints (as many fingers as I want to add) and I can allow others to do so too. I can set different levels of privilege, and use timed and temporary entry codes, all from my phone. I get an (optional) alert every time the door is opened or locked.
I have ADHD, and eufy security gave me back my confidence – I set the door to lock automatically after a certain period of time, so I never forget to lock up!
I can easily add a camera to my door lock – I haven't as it is an internal apartment door – but
I do have a eufy outdoor camera, which stores videos locally on my phone. This means I don't need to pay for any storage subscriptions with my security system.
All in all, I'm very happy with my eufy tech!
