The Good
- ✓ PIN Genie keypad is a masterpiece—it shuffles number locations after every use so no one can guess your code by watching your hands.
- ✓ The 3D fingerprint sensor is faster and more secure than 2D optical scanners found on cheaper models.
- ✓ Includes the Wi-Fi hub in the box, giving you remote access and voice control with Alexa/Google out of the box.
The Bad
- ✗ The exterior hardware is quite long and vertical, which might require re-drilling or covering old holes on some doors.
- ✗ Requires a separate hub (included) for Wi-Fi, unlike “all-in-one” models that have Wi-Fi built into the lock body.
The PIN Genie Innovation
Traditional keypads have one fatal flaw: shoulder surfing. If someone watches you type your 4-digit code, they know it forever. Lockly solves this with the PIN Genie. Instead of ten fixed buttons, it uses four circular pads, each containing three numbers.
Every time you wake the lock, the numbers within those circles shuffle. Your “pattern” remains the same, but the physical location of where you press changes every single time. It is a brilliant, low-tech solution to a high-tech security problem.
3D Biometric Precision
Not all fingerprint scanners are created equal. Cheaper locks use 2D scanners that can sometimes be fooled by high-resolution photos. Lockly uses a 3D capacitive sensor that maps the ridges and valleys of your fingerprint in three dimensions.
The sensor is located on the side of the lock, right where your finger naturally grips the handle. It is incredibly fast (under 0.4s) and can store up to 99 fingerprints, making it perfect for large families or small office spaces.
Final Verdict
The Lockly Secure Pro is a powerhouse of privacy. If you live in a high-traffic area or simply want the most sophisticated keypad technology on the market, this is the lock for you. While it requires a bit more setup due to the external hub, the combination of the PIN Genie and 3D biometrics provides a level of psychological and physical security that is hard to match.
