Buying Guide & Setup Tips

When connecting a lock to Alexa, you must enable the "Unlock by Voice" feature in the Alexa app and set a 4-digit voice code. Without this, anyone shouting through a window could potentially unlock your door. Pair your lock with our door reinforcement solutions for ultimate peace of mind.
