   Great product, works perfectly every time. I tried others but we changed for this one and it works great.

   I’ve tried very hard to give this company a try but I just can’t find consistency in their products. The cost is the best…however, you get what you pay for. Every time they send an update out, I’m locked out of my house. Currently I’m sitting in my car out of options as to how I’m going to get in my house without the key. It worked perfectly fine this morning but an update came out and there’s no connection even with Bluetooth. It’s just not reliable. I write this after nearly a year of giving it a chance. I was stupid enough to have left my key inside the house, so that’s on me. However, I trusted that it would work…even after multiple times being locked out. Customer service is basically useless as well. Spend the extra and get a proper lock that will work consistently. This thing goes in the trash today!

   Very disappointed in the longevity of this device. Worked great for a while. I bought this when originally on kickstarter. After having it a while now it’s started grinding and not locking or unlocking. If it were built to last I would have easily given it 5 stars. As is it deserves zero

   This is an excellent product I’ve had this product since the beginning it was offered to me through a testing program there were some glitches but all has been resolved. If you’re an apartment dweller this is and excellent product because it attaches to the existing deadbolt locking system without changing the outside key. once this product is hooked up to your WiFi system it also becomes a great security system. I will give you my word I will back up this locking system by Bosma Aegis 100%. Excellence at it’s Best.

   Easy to install. Autolock would be MUCH improved if longer delay was added or would only activate if outside bluetooth range of phone. I have step out for a quick second (to grab a paper or run trash out) only to be locked out, even with longest delay set. of the 2 locks I ordered, 1 stripped gears, but was quickly replaced under warranty.

   I originally found this product after coming across their Indiegogo campaign but wanted to get a second one after I just bought a new home, because it worked really well for me before! What really stood out for me is their packaging, which looks quite elegant. The body of the lock itself has great quality as well, with a slick metallic look that doesn’t look too awkward on the door. I was worried that installing this lock myself would be difficult but with the help of their instruction video on Youtube, the installing process was fairly intuitive. You can get everything to start working normally pretty much right away — I reserved way too much time originally to get it put in correctly.

   What initially drove me to be intrigued in this product was that I found myself too often with my hands full in NYC after doing some shopping, coming home and struggling to get my keys out of my pockets. This lock really saves these little moments of frustration! What’s great about Bosma as well is their customer service is on top of it. The shipment details were sent to me right away and they had follow-up emails asking me for satisfaction. They also have these features like the “app-less guest keys” which can enable visitors to have access to this auto-lock as well. Haven’t gotten a chance to let somebody else use this but I’m excited to try it out when I have people visit and be able to save the trouble of finding myself spare keys!

   I have two of this lock. The old one was purchased during their Indiegogo campaign, since I found the lock useful, I bought a bundle this time that comes with security doorbell. The locks are good looking with their dark metal finish, and the build quality is good. Installation guide is simple and intuitive, and I did not have any trouble installing the lock. It seems that they also have youtube tutorials if you need them. Some features are very convenient. I buy food down the block a lot and I don’t have to carry the keys with me all the time since I can use my fingerprint to unlock doors. I have several Bosma products now, and I believe their products offer good value to the money.

   Looks: The name Aegis was catchy. The black color has a subtle metal luster on it which blends well into my door.

   Installation: Easy enough for someone who is not strong with tech and IT stuff. There are instructions that came with the box are intuitive youtube videos. Needed a little help from CS rep on using their app and got their email in no time. They also provided useful hints on calibration.

   Usage: Very convenient. No more awkward moments when I tried to reach to the keys while dropping my bags. And the auto-lock saves the panic attack of forgetting to lock the door. I am still think about formally giving my friend their no-app guest keys but there is no doubt that it is so useful.

   Others: Simply likes! Found out they also have a product with fingerprint feature and may recommend to others.

    The lock is easy to install on my door. My first try is very smooth, and I didn’t run into any issue in the whole process.

    I initially had some issues with auto-unlock not working consistently. But I was able to find a list of FAQs on their website, and that got my problem resolved. Turns out I needed to disable battery optimization on Android (guess I didn’t read the in-app instructions carefully enough). After disabling battery optimization, auto-unlock works every time.

    So far very satisfied. Will try out other features in the future, and maybe look at getting some other Bosma products.

    Deadbolt works well most of the time. I do have an issue of the system losing connectivity and having to sign in frequently on my phone. In order to change your login name or e-mail address, you have to sign up for another account. There needs to be a better system in place to be able to change your email/login, otherwise, happy with deadbolt.

    I have had the Aegis for about a month now and I have been happy with it. I am able to let our cat sitter in when we leave to go on a trip. I also like that guests do not need to install the app to request access in to our home. The design is also very modern and a great conversation starter.

    Works well no problems with Aegis so far. When you install it make sure you select the correct dead bolt tailpiece and they are different directions on each side so if you put use the wrong side it will not work if that is the case just take the adapter out and out in the other way. I bought the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries to have longer battery life because when you change the batteries you have do the “Lock Calibration” procedure again, which is easy. I chose this door lock because if have The Bosma doorbell with the finger print scanner and X1’s cameras. I read reviews on other door lock with outside key pads and they bake in the sun on hot days and have poor battery life with the Bosma Sentry being inside it is no effected from outside weather conditions Hot or Cold.

    So far so good.
    The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars because the reason i bought it is alexa support which still not supported.

    It works fairly well most of the time. Auto lock and unlock on the other hand not so much, spotty at best. I read there is an firmware update coming to address this, so hopefully that will solve this problem.
