I'd like to second this. The product looks very flimsy. (This is to say nothing about the actual security it provides.) One would think a more menacing lock that also works really well would also work two-fold as a preventive measure for would-be thieves.
- codeulike 14y agoIt lives on the inside of the door, I believe. So would-be thieves can't see it.
- arbuge 14y agoNot the point - it might do even better if it looked sturder to <i>consumers</i>.

- pxlpshr 14y agoIt's installed on the inside of the door, on top of the existing locking system. My comment was mostly about consumer confidence when it's hanging on a j-hook at a retail store, or standing alone through through another distribution outlet.
- Firehed 14y agoI agree - the v1 product (no longer on the website as far as I know; it replaced the original deadbolt) simply looks sturdier. While this will tend to increase overall security since you'll any time when the door is unlocked and can always re-lock it remotely, it does unfortunately look a bit flimsy, despite not altering the original deadbolt. Maybe that's just the renderings? Dunno, but something that looks a bit more industrial could well go a long way here. Kinda like having the login and password boxes on two different pages, common on banking websites: it accomplishes precisely nothing for actual security, but makes people who don't know any better feel safer.

- GavinB 14y agoThis goes on the inside of the door. Would-be thieves would never see it. The image lower down on the page (next to "Easily install") is MUCH clearer about what this is and how it works. If the creators are reading this, I'd suggest swapping it in for the image in front of the video.
- crazypyro 14y agoThanks, that sure is embarrassing. It looked to me like it went on the outside, but I realize now that I was wrong. I still think it would still be nice to have it look sturdier.
