  • How to get keyless entry for this French door?
    You might be able to find something from August Lock. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
  • Is there a smart lock I could install?
    August replaces the inside lever with the August mechanism. The August lock engages the "tailpiece" - the flat steel element, around 2"x1/4"x0.05", that the cylinder and inside lever usually engage. This is not compatible with most mortise locks. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • break ins?
    I definitely rest more easy knowing I have that. I also have an August Lock for my door that automatically locks after 30 seconds and you can check from the app to make sure it's locked. Just gotta make sure you don't lock yourself out (haven't done it yet knock on wood) Really reassuring. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

  • Scandinavia 3 point locking system. What are my options for a smart lock?
    I haven’t seen the front of it, but it looks like August would be a good fit. I personally have the WiFi version, and I really like. Can 100% recommend. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Auto-locking doorknob WITHOUT a keypad?
    You could just not use the wireless, assuming you're planning on using the key anyway. This would work with an existing deadbolt. https://august.com/ .. Sorry just throwing it out there.. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

  • August emails groom customers for phishers
    Don't groom the population to be easy marks. Describe a safe way to unsubscribe. Remember when mailers used [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])? 😌 If not that--at bear minimum, PLEASE make sure every single link always leads to your most recognized domain (august.com). I get August has other sophisticated measures to protect my account, but this isn't just about my August account. Anything... - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

    Something like this could work https://august.com. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Looking for a smart locks. Suggestions?
    I hear good things about August. That's less of a lock and more of a thing that turns an existing deadbolt handle, though. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • So uh... do you guys lock both the knob and the deadbolt?
    Get yourself an August lock. It replaces the inside portion of the deadbolt and you can set it to automatically lock after a certain time (or distance) if you set up the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/GPS feature and it will unlock when you get close to your front door on the way home. Bonus, you can give people temporary access (pet walkers, guests, etc) as well as unlock it and lock it remotely. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Just got a Model 3, now I am left with my phone and a house key, rather than my usual carabiner that had my car keys as well, what did you do with house key after getting a Tesla?
    This. I got rid of our house keys ten years ago. We use: https://august.com/. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Any smart locks that would be useful for this door?
    I dont know what the inside looks like but maybe something from August? https://august.com/. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
  • Level Lock Updates?
    Anyone know if Level lock plans to adopt Thread support for the Bolt? I have contacted them in the past and they have not respond. I have wanted a HomeKit door lock but have never been a fan of the August one, mostly due to aesthetics, I like that with the Level lock I can keep my current hardware. I have had terrible experience with bluetooth only HomeKit devices. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
