August’s insanely popular smart lock is even smarter when it’s discounted on Amazon

[Guest Maren Estrada]

We can think of a dozen reasons why the August Smart Lock is one of the most popular products the category has ever seen. It’s ridiculously easy to install, with easy to follow instructions detailing a procedure that should take most people about 10 minutes. The August lock also works with your current deadbolt, so you don’t have to get new keys. Auto-lock ensures that your door locks behind you as you leave, and auto-unlock unlocks your door for you when you get home. You can even give house guests or workers temporary e-keys using the August app so they can access your home for a limited amount of time. All these features and more are a bargain at $230, but you won’t pay that much if you snag one on sale right now on Amazon.

 

Here are some key details from the product page:

 

• Control your door with your smartphone.
  
• Keep your existing deadbolt. Installs in minutes on the inside of your door.
  
• Grant or restrict access to visitors anytime.
  
• Automatically locks your door as you leave and auto-unlocks as you approach.
