Lockly Secure Pro (PGD728WSN) Review: The Smartest Deadbolt We Install in Brevard County

When homeowners and property managers in Brevard County ask us for the best keyless deadbolt on the market, the answer is almost always the same: the Lockly Secure Pro (Model PGD728WSN). This lock packs more security technology into a single deadbolt than anything else in its class — and we’ve installed enough of them to know it backs up the hype.

What Is the Lockly Secure Pro?

The Lockly Secure Pro is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled smart deadbolt that replaces your existing deadbolt without major door modifications. It’s ANSI Grade 2 rated — the highest residential security rating available — and fits standard doors 1-3/8″ to 2″ thick with both right-swing and left-swing compatibility.

The model comes in Satin Nickel (PGD728WSN) and includes a Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub and a wired door sensor right in the box — no add-on required for full remote connectivity.

Available Finishes

The Lockly Secure Pro is available in four finishes to match your door hardware:

Key Features Breakdown

🔐 PIN Genie® Shuffle Keypad — The Hack-Proof Touchscreen

This is the feature that sets Lockly apart from every other keypad lock. The patented PIN Genie® keypad displays numbers in four circular buttons, and the position of every digit shuffles randomly every single time the keypad wakes up. Your actual code never changes — but where those numbers appear on the screen does.

The result: even if someone watches over your shoulder or reviews a security camera feed, they can’t determine your actual PIN from your button presses. Smudge attacks — where someone dusts the screen to see which numbers you touch most — are also defeated because all four buttons get touched every time.

👆 3D Biometric Fingerprint Reader — 99 Prints, 0.2-Second Unlock

The Lockly Secure Pro uses a capacitive 3D fingerprint sensor — not the cheaper optical readers found on lower-end locks. The difference matters: capacitive sensors read the actual 3D ridge structure of your fingerprint, so lifted prints, spoofed silicone fingers, and even photos of fingerprints are useless against it.

The sensor stores up to 99 fingerprint profiles and unlocks in roughly 0.2 seconds. For families, rental properties, or offices with multiple users, that capacity is more than enough to cover everyone without needing codes or phones.

📶 Wi-Fi Remote Access & Real-Time Monitoring

The included Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub (PGH200) plugs into a nearby outlet and bridges your lock to your home network. Once connected, the Lockly Home app gives you full remote control from anywhere — lock, unlock, check door status, and receive push notifications every time the door is accessed. For the best connection, make sure your router is broadcasting on the 2.4GHz band — if you’re not sure how to set that up, check out our guide on splitting Wi-Fi frequencies for smart home devices.

The app also stores up to 90 days of access history so you can see exactly who entered and when. For landlords, Airbnb hosts, and property managers, this audit trail is invaluable.

📱 Offline Access Codes — Share Entry Without Wi-Fi or the App

One of the most practical features for rental properties and guests: Offline Access Codes. You can generate a time-limited code from the app and text it to a guest — they enter it on the keypad without needing a smartphone, an account, or an internet connection at the lock. The code works within its assigned window, then expires automatically.

This is a game-changer for Airbnb and VRBO hosts who need to grant access remotely without being on-site.

🔑 eKey Sharing — Digital Keys with Time Limits

Through the Lockly Home app, you can issue eKeys to family members, contractors, housekeepers, or guests. Each eKey can be assigned a specific valid period — one-time use, recurring schedule, or date range. Recipients unlock the door directly from their smartphone via Bluetooth, no physical key needed.

🏠 Door Sensor — Know If the Door Is Actually Closed

The included wired door sensor feeds real-time open/closed status directly into the app. You’ll know the difference between “locked” and “locked and closed” — a critical distinction that basic smart locks miss entirely. Get an alert if the door is left ajar, and confirm closure remotely before you leave the neighborhood.

🗣️ Voice Control — Alexa, Google Home & Siri

The Lockly Secure Pro is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free control. Matter-compatible versions also support Apple Home and Siri — check the serial number on your activation card for an “N” to confirm Matter compatibility.

⚙️ Smart Automation Features

Beyond basic locking and unlocking, the Secure Pro offers several automation options that make it genuinely smarter to live with:

• Auto-Lock: Set a timer so the door locks itself after a defined period — never leave the house unlocked by accident again.
• Purposeful Unlock: Set the door to stay unlocked for a specific window of time when you need extended access.
• Privacy Mode: Disable keypad access entirely when you’re home and don’t want to be disturbed.
• Sub-Admin Access: Assign a sub-admin who can manage user access during a defined valid period — useful for property managers or house sitters.

🔋 Battery Life & Backup

Powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries, the lock is rated for up to one year of normal use. Low battery alerts show up in the app before you’re ever caught off guard. A 9V battery backup terminal on the exterior means you can power the lock from outside to enter even if the internal batteries die completely. Two physical keys are included as a final backup option.

🛡️ Security Safe Mode

After multiple failed PIN attempts, the lock enters Security Safe Mode and disables keypad access for up to one hour. This brute-force lockout protects against anyone systematically trying codes at your door.
