"It’s a feature-packed convenience lock for interior doors, masquerading as a high-security exterior deadbolt."
The 'Remote Control via Tuya App' feature works only via Bluetooth when your phone is within about 30 feet of the door; controlling it from anywhere else requires a separate Wi-Fi hub.
This product makes sense for an interior door, like a home office or storeroom, where basic access control and convenience are prioritized over physical security. It's also a budget option for landlords managing access to individual rooms within a rental property.
Anyone seeking to secure a primary exterior door should invest in a lock with a stated ANSI/BHMA grade and a higher IP rating (IP56+). Buyers who need reliable remote access out of the box will be disappointed by the need for a separate, unincluded gateway.
