The Level Lock+ is among the best smart locks available, but is it the best option for your needs? I discuss my experience in this long-term hands-on review. In this video I also show how to install the Level Lock+ and how to configure its many settings and features.

Does it support Matter, or just HomeKit?
Wait for the Aqara U100 releasing soon.
I haven’t gone in my front door in years….always straight to the garage 🙂
loved this video, explained so well
Yay! Jeff’s here.
What is the purpose that kind of smart lock for such a week door?
Level has been hit and miss for me. By far the BEST smart lock (AND has Home Key) that I’ve used in my testing has been the Schlage Encode Plus
Looks cheap & unsecure
From your demo it seems to take a while to unlock.
This lock is over priced. Get an August or other HomeKit compatible smart lock, create a shortcut to unlock/lock, trigger it with an RFID tag sticker on the door frame. Works great.
Only con is Apple Watch can’t read RFID tag stickers, but Apple will probably add support eventually.
13:41 What type of NFC card is that? I assume since it’s being read by the iPhone, it’s an NTAG2xx of some kind, unless Apple has started allowing specific/security apps to read Mifare cards since the hardware technically can read them, but is software restricted. But, it’d be really cool if it’s just an NTAG, and they’re not restricted to only level lock brand cards because, after almost 9 years, I’d finally be able to unlock my front door with the NFC implant in my hand, and not just my computer…
A lock that’s easily picked, with a hollow cylinder holding the battery to make it easier for me (and any burglar) get into my house, just because I’m too lazy/forgetful to get my keys out of my pocket? Thanks for the review? I’ll pass.
$329 and it’s not very resistant to picking? So go ahead and have it re-keyed for increased security? I love all things and tech related, but this seems to be a giant fail. What am I missing here? Visual appeal, ease of installation, HomeKit integration are great, but a lock should keep the door securely locked.
