Overview
An interior thumbturn unit fits over your existing single cylinder deadbolt, leaving the outside key cylinder in place. Built-in Wi-Fi links it to the August app, which locks, unlocks and shares access from a phone.
Retrofitting the inside of the door gives renters and homeowners smart locking with no change to the exterior hardware or keys.
Who it's for
Front doors with a working single cylinder deadbolt and a home Wi-Fi network are the target. Households that want keypad codes from day one, or have no smartphone, should plan to add the separate keypad or look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Exterior door hardware stays unchanged
- Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and HomeKit
- Scheduled or temporary guest access from the app
- Auto-Lock secures the door after closing
- Keypad for code entry sold separately
- Requires a smartphone and home Wi-Fi
- Battery type and life not listed
- Only covers single cylinder deadbolts
Performance notes
Remote commands and voice assistant links travel over the home Wi-Fi, so signal strength at the door governs how dependable they feel. Auto-Lock relies on DoorSense to know the door has closed before it secures it. Fit depends on how the unit lines up over your current deadbolt thumbturn.
