Compare locks and guest-entry tools — August Wi-Fi Smart Lock vs Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt)
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.
August Wi-Fi Smart Lock: what to consider
Check the deadbolt fit first. Guests need a keypad for PIN entry without a phone. A current booking-driven code process was not confirmed for this model, so do not assume it is included. Read the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock 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.
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 August Wi-Fi Smart Lock and Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt)?
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 August Wi-Fi Smart Lock and Lockly Secure Pro (Standard Deadbolt)?
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.
Can August Wi-Fi Smart Lock guests use my existing physical key?
Yes, if the deadbolt fits. The lock keeps the outside hardware and old key. App-based guest keys are a separate way to enter. For PIN entry without a phone, you need a suitable keypad. Do not assume a lock-only order comes with one.
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.
