Fab, stylish, easy to install just needed to drill a hole for top screw and lead to fit. Not everyone might have to my old lock sat lower.
App was easy to navigate and now I have extra security and a stylish silver handle
Replaced our existing lock that required keys lock/unlock from inside and out. Family were reticent but now all totally converted. Even the locksmith that fitted it was impressed. So much better now, permanently open from inside, locked with easy access from outside. Purchased the hub so can now lock/unlock the door from anywhere
Register same thumb multiple times and the fingerprint reader works every time
If only registered once it’s a bit hit and miss but once you’re used to it it’s a game change
I now have 3 smart locks installed of 3 different doors, all wit a different fit. One lock had a minor issue with fingerprints not working after a storm drenched the lock for 3 days straight. (we are in Scotland) Support had a new unit to us within 24 hours. Keep up the good work guys! Good to see a UK company flushing out that china rubbish
Had this lock fitted on the recommendation of a locksmith. This WiFi enabled lock can be operated in multiple ways. However finger identification doesn’t work at times. Apart from that I found it very convenient.
The appearance is also good and can match most fixtures and finishes.
It’s too soon to comment on its reliability and lifespan.
What a fanastic bit of kit. I had spoke to Jamie before ordering the lock for a few technical queries. He put my mind at rest and they arrived today. All installed with absolutely no need for a locksmith to attend. I also ordered the gateway and and the whole package was a breeze to setup. Definately will recommend this to other people. For those of you considering BluSafe Solutions Origin Smart smart lock-save yourself the bother get this lock instead, it delivers on every single benefit and feature. The support is first class also.
I don’t usually give reviews but this is good. I have a big family 6. So you can imagine all the keys.. now it’s on the phone or on the thumbs and more for the box to open the door. Easy enough to fit. You do need a bit of knowledge. My door was just too thick and I dropped one of the stubs in the door.. I what’s app them they said they would send me a pair.. still waiting…. But to my know how M5 rod connect nuts 15mn is the same thing.. that’s what saved my bacon.. All fixed then to fit the batteries didn’t work.. would you believe it.. I would say please check the lock before installing battery as well… But to my this can’t be I turned the batteries upside down and it worked. If you have a slim door it should be well ok. But all in all a very good product family is happy. it will last the time. Thanks for reading my rant… Have a great day
This is must for all share houses and AirBnB. Highly quality product with an easy installation done in half an hour. All my questions were answered with chat immediately. Literally no waiting time at all (within business hours). I can’t recommend it enough.
I have to say it works exactly how I imaged! The installation is fairly easy and took me around 1 hour. There was a problem with my front part so got in touch with the customer service and they posted me a replacement straight away. I highly commend the customer service team!!! Great job guys. I would definitely buy it again.
Easy to install, fob access works very well, but fingerprints are hot and miss. It’s not very easy to light up the panel to input a password. Build quality is OK, except for the battery compartment, which is very flimsy and held together by a tiny screw. It does the job.
Very impressed with this product and Simpled’s customer service. I bought this as I was fed up of keys in pockets scratching phones and leather seats etc, so this should actually save money in the long run. So liberating to be able to leave the house key-free!
Installation took an hour or so – just need a drill, average DIY skills and ~10mm drill bit. Fitted to a multipoint locking door.
Simpled’s customer service is excellent via WhatsApp. Responses within a few minutes. The handle stopped locking after a few weeks but Simpled quickly sent out a replacement, which has been fine for a month now. Can’t fault their service!
I bought this after a lot of research into other products and I would say that this offers the best features on the market. Fingerprint scanner is very reliable, even my 6 year old son can get in with ease. App works fine. Keypad is great for visitors.
Another benefit is that the outside handle automatically self-locks after a few seconds so it’s very secure. The inner handle is always unlocked, so safe to use in an emergency.
Can’t recommend this enough. Just buy one!
Lifting the lid of the black box and seeing the neatly packaged components with the handles individually bagged you can tell straight away this is a quality product. Extremely well written clear instructions not your usual Chinese conversion. I’m a bit of a DIY er and took me around an hour to fit. Had to drill through the door to accommodate the upper mounting which I was nervous about as there would be no going back!
Quite rewarding after installation that everything works.
Works great. Customer service through what’s app is incredibly quick to responded to questions.
Only issue I found was that in the rain sometimes the sensor doesn’t pick you print up straight away. Other than that top lock.
I’ve purchased the second smart lock from Simpled Locks. They have Great customer services, as I needed advice on a mortise lock. They were very quick to respond and super helpful.
I read the reviews on this product which made my decision to go a head and purchase it.
I set it up day before installing and it worked fine. Thinking that I was going to have a bit of a small challenge a head installing the lock I got up at 0730. My god by 0759 it was done so simple and works perfectly. Finger prints loaded in and its a go.
Like the review said if you do not lift the handle up it will still lock.
Only real issue I have and it is small but worth mentioning, is the fact that it never mentioned that you need to purchase a gateway to use your lock remotely over Internet, plus side 49.99 and it will be here tomorrow.
I have had this 1 day but so far 10/10
Originally bought a Yale digital lock but had so many issues with it, I ended up removing it. Just fitted this and straight away just the feel and look is miles ahead of Yale. No negativity at all. Supper happy with my purchase.
After doing some study on the subject of electric locks, I ultimately chose Simpled, and (as of this writing) have absolutely no regrets. When you consider the pricing, the build quality is excellent. It has one of the best installation manuals. Anybody who is good with tools, reads the instructions carefully, and follows them shouldn’t have any trouble, in my opinion. It took me 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the process of replacing my mortise lock, installing the electric lock, setting up the app, and gateway. (taking into account the fact that I had to modify the door and frame so the mortise lock would fit).
Just to clarify, you have to lock it physically by hand, but to unlock you can use key, smart card, eKey, fingerprint, App and smart home platforms like Alexa or Google (if you have gateway).
Finally I have to say I love the fact I don’t carry door keys anymore.
By the way I had a question and contacted customer service by WhatsApp and response was brilliant.
Well done Simpled.
Firstly, a few years back I purchased a Yale Connexis and it locked me out of my house after 24 hours. I vowed never to get another Smartlock. I previously had another Yale Smartlock and programming it was extremely frustrating.
But I have a disabled tenant who leaves keys in doors, so I needed a simple solution. So I purchased this due to the decent reviews.
I had a locksmith install this. It took him around 40mins. Put the batteries in, opened the TT Lock app, held the phone near the lock, pressed the + button on the app and it connected immediately.
The setup process is akin to setting up an Apple product. Easy, intuitive and surprisingly slick.
The hardware seems well made too.
Time will tell how reliable the product is, but it’s a very good effort.
I also purchased the wifi bridge, which keeps me connected to the lock remotely from my phone. Great for an Airbnb as you can program custom entry codes on the fly and check code usage.
I’m seriously impressed with this product.
I’m so pleased with my new smart lock, I installed it myself and if I can do it anyone can. I got the Wi-Fi bridge to go with it so I can lock my door from anywhere in the world. So easy to set up and use, now the kids can use their finger print to open the door. I’m going to look at adding similar locks to the back doors too.
Great door lock. Dose everything it says. Easy to fit. Took around 20 mins. Had to drill hole bigger for cable to pass through. Easy to programme. Easy to use and quick to respond to both cards and fingerprint.
We bought this doorlock as our eldest has ADHD and will lose anything not attached to her, or won’t be able to find things unless they are placed directly in front of her. As she starts High School in September, we were a bit worried about her letting herself in the house if we are on a call or in the garden.
This is amazing. It was a bit of a fiddle to fit simply because of how the wire is routed internally, needed to drill a hole through the door for it. Not exactly rocket science, just worth bearing in mind.
Takes seconds to register a fingerprint, or the 2 cards that come with it. Its peace of mind as you can access the entry records from your phone to see who has entered and at what time.
Its made out of a hefty wedge of metal, weighs about 3 times what the old handle did. Reckon the door would give way before the handle!
Looks really smarl, lovely brushed silver finish and you get clear voice prompts from it when programming or using it
Lots of different screw lengths included so you are bound to have the right length.
Duracell batteries included, not the usual cheap ones
Key over ride works well, keyhole is hidden but easily accessible if the battery dies, 1/4 turn of the high security key over rides the electronics & allows the door to be opened.
They do seem to have thought of everything. I don’t write many reviews but this has really impressed me (I paid full price, not writing this to get a discount!)
I was looking for an easy locking mechanism for an Airbnb. This has worked perfectly. The app works well and I can set different passcodes for each individual guest. The finger print entry is so easy for me and other trusted members of the family.
Was beyond me to fit, so I had so spend quite a bit to get a locksmith to fit.
Bit annoying that I need to be within a few metres to change the passcode but it’s doable. Also I’ve found in bright sunlight, it is difficult to see the digits. They could do with being much brighter.
I’d also like the manufacturer to get these products that could be perfect, to pass insurer’s standards as currently they are not so do be aware and make your own judgement call.
Fantastic product and nearly does exactly what I wanted. Chatted with seller about options and upgrades and new version coming out soon with exactly what I need. Seller very good on service and advice and happy for me to return and order newer product when out. Looking forward to getting the new one soon. The smart lock will enable so many scenarios with regards to securing and gaining access to our home.
The Simpled smart lock is incredibly easy to install with clear and concise instructions. I’ve already purchased four of them, including two different models, and both are working flawlessly. The accompanying mobile app functions perfectly too. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The customer service provided is excellent, as they are available on WhatsApp and respond promptly during working hours. It’s reassuring to have direct contact with the seller, as they can explain things thoroughly and even send pictures if needed. I highly recommend this product.
The overall product quality is outstanding. However, I must say the fingerprint reader is not perfect. Installation on a new timber door becomes more complex as you must choose/install the correct lock, etc. On the other hand, I got full support from their customer service. Simpled suggested using MACO A-TS (automatic multipoint lock), which worked perfectly well with their device! I also bought the sensor and wifi module – a great combination to achieve remote control.
Had to fiddle with the install due to the multi-point ERA mortise in the door – solved it by cutting the top adjustable stub in half so it stops at the mortise rather than going through the door and cutting the bolts either side to suit, but apart from this was straightforward
Had an issue with the fingerprint reader but contacted Simpled via WhatsApp and they replied straight away – it wasn’t a fault just the way I was using it. To get the fingerprint reader to work every time first wake the lock up by pressing the hash key (or any part of the key pad) then press the reader with your finger and the lock opens every time – simples
The first lock developed a fault on the first day
Eventually Contacted seller and i was asked to send a video of the lock not working, they apologised and sent a replacement
I would recommend this lock as this type suits my needs, the after sales team were efficient and very helpful
Only one issue there were no phone lines manned on the weekend but i was told i was in a queue, but no one there,( needs updating )
I have searching the smart locks on the marcket, and Simpled smart lock is the one of best locks which meet my all requirments.
1. It is easy to replace my cueent uPVC door lock, the instalation is relatively easy compared other smart locks. I only use the 10mm drill to expand the up screw hole of ther current door, and it will be easy to fit the smart lock.
2. Simpled has all the features including the fingerprint, password, fob, mobile keys, and the remote control if you have installed the Wifi bridge. The APP is easy to use and you can check all the smart lock records. It is water proof lock for the outside door installtion.
3. Very good customer service and they provided the accessories very quick.
I would suggest some other improvements in future.
1. Use the type C interface for the emergency power connector
2. Support the rechargeable Lithum batery and the charging point connector is on inner door side
As another reviewer mentioned the screw post that attaches to the outside handle would not pass through the mortice. Don’t bother trying to cut it down as I did because it’s not threaded all the way through. I sourced 2x M5 rod connecting long nuts, cut one down a little so as the length was just short of the mortise. Then I cutt a screw to length to make it work.
The secret to the fingerprint reader only working 50% of time seems to be just rest finger lightly. Works 90% of the time then.
A good door lock just be aware that you may have to make some modifications. Kept me busy for a couple of days. Half of the visitors to the house think the fingerprint reader is a doorbell.
It was easy to install although I had a bit of difficulties as my original multipoint lock had two spindles, but the new Simpled lock has only one spindle. I contacted the seller to get help. Following their instruction, I used the top spindles and everything was so easy to fit. It took less than 10 minutes.
Best customer support and product.
Highly recommend.
I had a few challenges fitting mine and needed to heavily modify my mortise lock to make it fit. However the aftercare provided was excellent! Really fast responses on whatsapp made life easier, and when my fingerprint and pin input failed they were very quick to send out a replacement part for the lock.
I took quite a while looking for a smart automated lock and wanted one that auto locks due to having dogs that like walks but when excite pull and trying to do little more than pushing the door closed is troublesome this lock does all I need.
I comes with finger prints, temporary and permanent access codes, ekeys that can be timed and sent anywhere so great for AirBnB rentals and the likes of.
Install was straight forward and set up for me at least was within in my ability as a fairly confident smart home self installer with many devices.
Price wise more than the eBay versions but this is a company with support and extras, key fobs, more tags etc so not left hanging when something if it ever did go wrong.
Ease of fitting dependant on existing door and locking mechanism. Instructions very helpful but in my case some DIY skills required.
Square drive shaft to short for my door so existing shaft had to be used requiring drilling for split pin and then cutting to length.
Door had to be drilled for cable and hole for top fixing screw enlarged.
Hole for outside handle boss had to be enlarged to accommodate split pin.
Extension cable had to be used which made it difficult to fit batteries and fit battery cover.
Very pleased with result after teaching myself to program the lock.
Only one gripe is that to engage all the locking mechanism on my UPVC door is that I must operate the keypad and then lift the handle to engage the locks.
Would recommend purchase of this lock and would buy again.
Very pleased with the lock. But the fingerprint reader doesn’t really work
I’m not totally incompetent but fitting was tricky. I had to drill a big hole in the door and the sizing wasn’t obvious. Then the spindle was too short but customer service was ace and posted me one for free.
Even with everything in place, threading the cable and locating the screws took many attempt.
Once installed, setup was easy although connetlction with Google assistant requires you to add ‘Sciener’ which was not clear. All set up wolitu fingerprints and voice unlock now. Amazing set of options in the app.
Would recommend. So far. Let’s see how the batter lasts.
This is a smart lock packed with a host of features that in my opinion is far better than the conexsis smart lock. you get a key pad, finger print reader, a sticker and fobs. you can set up codes with expiry dates, in fact you can do everything you expect to be able to do. Add the bridge and you have everything as it then works with Alexa. In fairness the lock does require some DIY skills to install however the instructions are excellent. I hit a glitch when installing the WIFI bridge so had to contact support using WhatsApp. I got a response back pretty quick and problem fixed. It looks good, it works really well and i have to say the finger print reader works far better than i expected. Definitely worth the money
Excellent support via WhatsApp chat from London-based company. Early days, but recommend so far.
You will most definitely have to study this lock to adapt to your door… but once you do. It will be up and running in 5 minutes
Speedy delivery. Installed today and the quality is great. Looks good and the app is easy to navigate.
The lock arrived quickly and was well packaged, when I looked at the door handles I noticed a problem the were the wrong way round, so I read the instructions and found you had to unscrew them and swap them round, it was easy and the alan key was provided, the instructions for the rest of the fitting was clear and useful and came in handy. once fitted you down load the app and set up the lockets very straight forward and easy to use. I highly recommend this lock, and after I fitted and set up this lock I bought another for the front door as well because I was so happy with it.
It’s worked effortlessly during this time until this week when the outside handle stuck and locked in the down position. So effectively locked out. Luckily I’d left a set of keys for the back door in a key safe at front of house so was able to access my house and strip the lock off to find an internal piece had snapped and jammed the handle. The Simple guys were great, handling my call to them brilliantly and despatching a new outside handle part free same day to which I received Sat Morning and within 25 mins was installed and working again.
Brilliant customer service, brilliant lock and would recommend to buy. Just make sure you have another way of accessing the house just in case and don’t throw your old door handles away in case you need to secure your door as I did for 24hrs waiting for replacement part.
Best smart lock out there and my blip has not put me off it.
As a result, I chose the Simpled smart lock based on reviews, price, features.
The lock was easy to install on my front door, with the only bit of drilling being to slightly widen a hole to allow the cable to pass through.
Programming the codes, fobs etc was nice and easy via the app , which is intuitive and well laid out.
Support were able to quickly answer a tech question as to what type of RFID fobs/tags it uses
All in all, a well built and well designed product with some nice features such as timed profiles (ie only allowing access a certain times ) One time access codes , Perm access codes, multiple unlock methods and remote access if you purchase the WIFI bridge
Very pleased with this lock so far easy to fit replaced my Conexis l1 finger print reader not great but pleased with the lock.
The fingerprint recognition works for my husband but not for me, tho I’ve reset it several times. Could be more accurate in this respect. The code input works fine.
Strong and good quality design.
If you use your phone to go to their website, they have a WhatsApp link to their excellent customer service -very useful and very easy!
Excellent product and support when needed . One big improvement would be to have multiple positions that the wire could enter/exit both sides of the lock. I ended up adding a 10mm hole to each backplate and feeding the wire under the handle/spindle. It’s a very small design change but would mean that this lock would fit a lot more doors!
Pulling up handle to lock door and engage security pins works perfectly.
Took me 40 min maybe to remove old lock, install this and setup.
Works as advertised, using phone App, code, fingerprint, NFC card, etc.
Me and my wife uses fingerprints, never forget your key again!
And I created a code for our dog walker that only works during lunchtime. It works great.
FYI; if you want to use wifi to unlock or use smart speaker, you need wifi accessory not included.
I really have no complaints at all. Would definitely recommend.
I have a porch door that we need to be able to open remotely to allow Delivery drivers etc. to leave packages safely, unfortunatly a lot of drivers dont lift the handle when clossing the door and on my old smart lock it would prevented me from re locking the door. On the Simpled Smart Door Lock, although you still need to lift the handle to deadlock the door, the handle will still disengage itself preventing it from being re opened even if the handle hasnt been lifted.
The fitting was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be but that was due to my existing door locking mechanism.
Although early days this lock looks and work very well.
08 June 2022
This lock bas been installed now for around 8 weeks, during that time it has had its problems and I have needed to speak to support on their whatsapp chat. Here is my honest review of the Simpled Smartlock.
Firstly, as you might expect, the installation.
After researching this type of lock for 2 weeks I had made up my mind to go with Simpled, reviews seemed to point to good aftersales support which is important to me. I spoke via whatsapp the Simpled about the lock and if it would work on my composite door and they asked me to send some photos via whatsapp which I did. They stated that it would 99% work but may nned some modifications to the door. ( see photos )
I ordered and it arrived promptly, unboxed and read the instructions and started to fit it.
Im quite DIY orientated so nothing seemed too daunting to me, other than drilling a 25mm hole in my door!! after some measuring, trying the handle to make sure it would fully function, I drilled the hole, actually a lot easier than I thought and luckily?? it didnt hit the existing lock mechanism ( its very close ). ( see photos )
The handle fitted fine and the instructions are actually clear, the fiddly bit is getting the outside wire through the new hole to the inside of the lock.
Screwed it all up and went to put the batteries in, now it becomes clear why you need that 25mm hole, you have to push the slack back into the 25mm hole, if you dont then the batteries will foul on the wire and you cannot get the final cover on. Be warned!
Now the lock was fitted, batteries in and you can hear it working, theres some beeps and a voice. Grabbed the phone, added the app and setup my account, and added the lock,VERY easy.
Proceeded to add my thumb print, I did it 4 times, Terry 1 to 4 as the naming. Pressed it a few times, it unlocked then locked again after 5 seconds, all good, or so I thought 😉 . I then added one of the ic cards, you ONLY get 3, bit tight in my opinion, 4 would have been much better for a family. So, there it was fully fitted and working in under an hour…. Then the wife came home, added her thumb print same as mine, Elaine 1 to 4, all worked great, then I locked her out for a laugh, she pressed the sensor, error, after 4 attempts the alarm sounded on the lock which meant I had to open the door and use the phone app to reset it. How annoying.
We readded her thumb but this time 8 times, Elaine 1 to 8, same issue, I thought it might have been her handcream so got her to wash her thumb and try again, it sometimes worked but it was 50 / 50 which just isnt good enough, so back on whatsapp I went, this is where a company can fail miserably or succeed.
Simpled support is great, you can talk to someone, an actual human, they know their product so can answer without the ” Ill get back to you ” stuff. I was pleased, after some to and froing they said they would send me a new handle…. to be continued.
While waiting on the new handle I installed the Wireless Gateway, the bit that allows you to remote unlock and lock the door plus some more monitoring, alas this is where this product drops the ball, its slow as a snail when used, my signal according to the app is WEAK, I have an Eero Mesh network at home and a ring doorbell next to the lock so WiFi is not an issue, this leaves the Bluetooth connection to the lock from the Gateway, I have tried moving the gateway closer to the lock (see photos ) and various other locations in the porch and the best I can get is medium strength, I even taped the gateway to the lock and that was medium so there is a serious issue with it, again in my opinion. It can take upto 1 minute to remote unlock so not really acceptable, some notifications that the lock has been unlocked can also take ages to come through even though I was expecting near realtime notifications.
Anyway, we move along and the new front handle arrives to be fitted, I was busy so couldnt do it for a few days and when I got around to it dismantled it all, fitted it, bolted it all up and then noticed the connections were not compatable, gutted dont quite cover it. ( see photos )
Put the original one back and went onto whatsapp to explain, they was fine about it and sent a complete new lock this time, this had the right connection so I only used the front handle, fingerprint reading is much better on this one, the handle firmware is older than the one we had problems with so maybe something was added in that messed it up, who knows.
After having it working now for some time I am happy to say that I am well pleased with the lock, very strong and well made, support is great. I would have no problem reccomending this lock.
Cons: fiddly wire inside the battery compartment, gateway needs some serious upgrading, only 3 IC cards
Pros: Great support, well made product, nice looking. I love it!!
I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the lock and gateway, Terry
