After installing the Solity GT10K smart lock on my front door, I've got some strong opinions about this Korean-designed keyless entry system. Let me break down the real-world pros and cons based on my month-long experience.
The installation was trickier than expected - took me nearly 3 hours of drilling and adjusting. The auto-lock feature is brilliant when it works, but becomes useless if your strike plate isn't perfectly aligned (learned this the hard way). That magnetic sensor they advertise? It's sensitive to millimeter-level precision.
I love the multiple access methods though. Setting up unique PIN codes for family members was easy through the app, though the interface isn't intuitive. The touchscreen responds well even with wet fingers - crucial when coming home with groceries in the rain. The voice guidance in multiple languages is a nice touch that actually helps during setup.
The build quality feels premium with its satin nickel finish, but don't be fooled by the 'Designed in Korea' claim - there's no actual manufacturing origin labeling. The IP54 rating gives me confidence during storms, though I wish they'd included fingerprint recognition at this price point.
Biggest gripe? The app connectivity issues. When it works, remote access is magical. When it doesn't (which happens), you're stuck using physical keys like some medieval peasant. Customer support might as well be non-existent based on other users' experiences.
For security-conscious buyers: The PIN code system has an interesting quirk where it accepts any string containing your actual code at the beginning or end (e.g., '7771234' works if '1234' is your code). This helps prevent shoulder surfing but feels like a potential vulnerability.
Final verdict? At full price, I'd hesitate to recommend over more established brands. But if you find it on sale and don't mind tinkering with alignment, it's a decent smart lock that looks great and offers most modern conveniences - just prepare for some frustrations along the way.
