X1 Apple Home Key Lock iOS ONLY Smart Keyless Entry HomeKit Door Lock with Fingerprint Keypad Deadbolt Lock

First Impressions - there's no tape on the box, did I get a used product?! Open it up and see that the parts bags are all sealed - okay I guess this is new. I suppose there's nothing really wrong with a used and returned product but it does make me question whether the item is any good. Anyway on to the review. This is my fourth smart lock brand in about ten years or so. I think all of them, more or less, solve for our issue of having a large family coming and going. Most smart locks leave something to be desired functionality-wise. When we first got the Ultralok with fingerprint reader we loved it; turns out it was only 80% awesome, it didn't work occasionally and there were a few panicky moments where we couldn't get in. Also so many smart locks are slooooow to lock, unlock or register keypad inputs. Have only had the Thor installed for a bit but it is super snappy. It's registered finger prints very quickly, the NFC for iphone is fantastic and very quick. This is the first lock brand that has installed on the first try and every access option just works. We installed three of these and all of them installed easil, synced to the app and apple homekit without any issue. Haven't figured out how to get the NFC working on the apple watches yet but the phone works great. One thing that wasn't immediately clear was how to add others to the homekit for the NFC phone function. Easy enough you just have to go to the Apple home app and tap the plus sign in the top right corner > add people > then select the apple ids of kids and family you want to have access. From their phones you'll see a little notification red dot in the home app that you have to click on and accept. It'll prompt you to add the app and make some security choices. Easy as pie. Big fan of this lock so far but I'll report back if anything changes. One thing I'd like to see in the app is Face ID to login instead of having to insert a password after it times out. Read more

This is one the best products I have bought in recent years. In fact, I bought a second one to make my household key-free. It took me about 15 minutes to install it. It has a clever design that doesn’t require screwing it into the door aside from what was already there. I still can’t believe how affordable it is for such a feature packed device. A Thread support and fingerprint support at this price point? It’s unheard of unless it had some serious shortcomings. HomeKey works really well and the fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable. Love the code and user management. It’s a beautifully designed product also. It has already changed the way we get in and out of our home. I have been planning on buying such product for a very long time but they were either crazy expensive or lacked key features that wasn’t worth investing in. I finally found the product that’s literally perfect in every way. Setup was a breeze with zero connective issues. Highly recommend it! Read more

I recently purchased the ThorBolt X1 for my front door, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The build quality is excellent, with a sleek, modern design that feels both durable and secure. Installation was straightforward, and the setup process through the mobile app was simple to figure out and I had no problem easily integrating the ThorBolt into my Apple smart home network. I love the convenience of keyless entry—being able to unlock the door via my phone, Apple Watch, fingerprint, or a PIN code has made daily life much easier. I also appreciate the remote access functionality, which allows me to let in guests or service providers even when I’m away. Battery life has been impressive so far, and the app notifications keep me informed of any activity. Overall, this smart lock combines style, security, and functionality, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home security system. Read more

After being burned by other smart locks, this one was a breath of fresh air. Setup was incredibly smooth. HomeKit integration was seamless, and everything worked exactly as expected right out of the box. We originally tried a Philips lock that wouldn’t even power on due to battery issues, and a Wyze lock where fingerprint registration was a constant failure. By contrast, this lock was flawless: fingerprint setup was instant, responsiveness is excellent, and overall it just works. We were so impressed we immediately bought a second one for the back door along with their handle model. It inspires real confidence and makes smart home tech feel effortless. Highly recommended.
