Compare locks and guest-entry tools — Aqara Smart Lock U100 vs Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt) vs PointCentral
Start at the door. Check whether the lock fits, how guests enter and what happens if power or internet fails. Then check remote control and booking links. A lock, a hub and access software can be separate purchases. Confirm the full setup before relying on automatic guest codes.
Aqara Smart Lock U100: what to consider
Check the model and hub you need. To manage Aqara Home passwords from afar, buy a supported Aqara Zigbee hub separately. The lock price alone does not cover that setup. Read the Aqara Smart Lock U100 profile for its plans and requirements.
Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt): what to consider
Check the Standard Deadbolt model and software limits. Free Lockly Home limits properties and offline codes. Larger needs require LocklyOS. Its price was not confirmed. Read the Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt) profile for its plans and requirements.
PointCentral: what to consider
Ask if your property count qualifies. The vendor describes access logs and device tools; these do not prove safety results. A setup for a few properties was not confirmed. Read the PointCentral profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all smart access options, how to choose a lock for a US rental, how to plan automatic guest access codes to continue your shortlist.
Common questions
What should I check before choosing between Aqara Smart Lock U100, Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt) and PointCentral?
Start with the exact door and lock model. Check the keypad, bridge or hub needed for your chosen booking connection. Decide which system should create and remove guest codes. A compatible brand name alone does not confirm that the full setup will work.
How should I plan backup entry with Aqara Smart Lock U100, Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt) and PointCentral?
Check how the exact model lets guests in if the main method fails. Test the guest steps before arrival and arrange local help. A code may work offline but still need an internet link for you to change or remove it.
What backup options does Aqara Smart Lock U100 offer for a flat battery?
Aqara lists a physical key and a USB-C port for backup power. Plan how a guest can reach the backup before the battery runs flat. These methods do not promise entry if there is another fault.
Can Lockly Secure Pro issue a guest code while the lock is offline?
Yes. Lockly describes Offline Access Codes for one use or a set time. Guests do not need an app to use them. The free monthly limit is capped; more codes need LocklyOS. Check the limit for your setup if guests change often.
Can PointCentral give staff different access from guests?
Yes. PointCentral describes access by role and time. Its hardware options use codes, fobs, badges, cards or phones. Ask which methods work on your exact doors. The list does not mean each lock supports them all.
