The installation itself took me about seven minutes.
As I said, I got to keep my existing lock hardware and keys.
All I needed to do to start was remove the lock faceplate from inside my home.
Once I took the faceplate off, I screwed in the lock bracket.
Then I got to choose from three different adapter bolts to match my existing lock hardware cylinders.
The keypad has a code, fingerprint, and key card option to unlock the SwitchBot Smart Lock Pro.
However, it is still glue.
The app does have a tamper alert, which works as a deterrent.
The piece that takes the SwitchBot Smart Lock Pro to the next level is theSwitchBot Hub Mini.
I also get phone notifications any time the door is opened or closed because of the motion sensor.
Once the installation is done, the setup looks like the picture below.
Just be ready to potentially have to paint over the wall where you removed the keypad.
The process is very straightforward and user-friendly.
The SwitchBot App
The app is responsive and user-friendly.
The app is also compatible with Google, Amazon, IFTTT, and Siri.
Its ease of installation is second to none and can be done by even the least DIY-able person.
The auto-lock feature feature is customizable and very useful.
