Smart Locks / Lockly
Lockly Visage Zeno Series (PGK728W)
Face, fingerprint, Home Key and two spare batteries — but no published security grade.
Overall score 7/10
Pros
- + More ways in than anything else here: face, fingerprint, PIN Genie keypad, Apple Home Key, app and a physical key
- + Face unlock uses radar rather than a camera, so there is no video feed to secure and no cloud storage bill
- + Two rechargeable packs in the box means you always have a charged spare — no lock in this set handles a flat battery better
- + Wi-Fi is built in and Lockly charges nothing monthly for remote unlock, codes or history
Cons
- − No published ANSI/BHMA grade at all, at $349 — you cannot compare its physical security to the Grade 1 Schlage or Level
- − Battery claims do not survive contact with reviewers: Lockly says up to 8 months, Tom's Guide found monthly charging at default settings
- − No Matter and no Thread, so it is locked to Lockly's cloud for anything beyond Apple Home Key taps and voice assistants
- − There is no video feed despite the doorbell-like face sensor, which surprises buyers who expect a camera
Lockly Visage Zeno Series (PGK728W) review: what the specs say
Face, fingerprint, Home Key and two spare batteries — but no published security grade. At $349, Lockly's 2024 model sits at the premium end of the category — the smart Locks we compare run from $79.98 to $399. It scores 7.0/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Entry Methods at 9.5/10 — keypad, fingerprint, face, NFC fobs, Apple Home Key and UWB approach unlock. The weakest is Security at 5.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no published ANSI/BHMA grade at all, at $349 — you cannot compare its physical security to the Grade 1 Schlage or Level; and battery claims do not survive contact with reviewers: Lockly says up to 8 months, Tom's Guide found monthly charging at default settings. Every specification on this page comes from Lockly's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
