Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers like TechHive and Home Depot editors highly praise the Lockly Secure Plus for its unbeatable biometric speed and unique security features like the PIN Genie shuffling keypad. However, they consistently criticize the product for having the most complicated installation in the industry, an engineer-focused manual that confuses users, and a difficult PIN assignment process. While the feature set is considered comprehensive, the user experience is hampered by setup complexity and app latency without a hub.
What Users Say
Everyday consumers generally praise the lightning-fast fingerprint recognition and the convenience of RFID cards for vulnerable users like the elderly or children. Users appreciate the security benefits of app logs and remote revocation. However, recurring complaints focus on the difficult installation process, the confusing PIN Genie interface, and battery drain when the app is used frequently. Some users also report lag when relying solely on Bluetooth without the Wi-Fi hub.
Common Complaints
Complicated installation process, poor engineer-focused manual, difficult PIN assignment, app lag without Wi-Fi hub, and reduced battery life with frequent app usage.
