LOQED Touch Smart Lock vs Bold Smart Cylinder<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2021-07-01T08:44:00+01:00\">01-07-2021<\/time><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With all the different smart lock competitors on the market, it can be difficult to figure out which of them fits your needs. Because we want to make the decision easier for you, we compare the LOQED Touch Smart Lock to the Bold Smart Cylinder and Bold Connect. We give you an overview of all the features, highlighting the differences and similarities between both smart locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installing-the-smart-lock\">Installing the smart lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bold Smart Cylinder is installed how you would install a normal cylinder. First, you download the Bold App. After unscrewing a screw in your current door fitting and removing the old lock, simply slide the Bold Smart Cylinder into the door. The lock has a SKG*** certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing the LOQED Touch Smart Lock takes about 20 minutes. The cylinder in your current lock is replaced with one with a SKG*** certificate. A small screen with touch buttons is placed on the fitting on the outside of your door, while on the inside, the fitting is replaced by the LOQED fitting. When the lock is placed on your door and the bridge is plugged in, you can complete the installation in the LOQED App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-25.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-25.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-25-300x157.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automatically-open-the-door\">Automatically open the door<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t want that, a door that can open by itself when you get home? The LOQED Touch Smart Lock only needs a touch on the screen of the lock to open the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You unlock the Bold Smart Cylinder by \u2018activating\u2019 the lock with the App. Then you need to twist the doorknob manually to open the door. By pressing the button on the inside of the door and closing it by twisting the doorknob, you lock the door.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-hassle-with-geo-fences\">No hassle with geo-fences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The LOQED Touch Smart Lock is the only one of its kind with an indoor and outdoor sensor. These locate whether you are inside or outside the house, which makes sure that the lock does not open when you are inside. After taking the trash out or getting something from the car, it is easy to get back indoors using \u2018Touch to Open\u2019. Before it was only possible to use Touch to Open when you were at least 500 meters away from your door, but with the newest LOQED update&nbsp;you are able&nbsp;to turn off this feature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bold Smart Cylinder can activate automatically through geofencing, when you are at least 200 meters away from your house. Bold states that this is needed, because it makes sure that the lock doesn\u2019t activate unwarranted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-opening-the-door-remotely\">Opening the door remotely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to remotely provide others access to your house, you need to buy the Bold Connect. This works as a bridge between the smart lock and your phone. When you buy the LOQED Touch Smart Lock, the bridge is already included. It makes sure that others can open your door. You can give others access in a&nbsp;certain time frame in the App. This is useful when you want someone to come over to water your plants or to give your cleaner access to your house when you are not home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-26.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-26.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-26-300x157.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-when-you-don-t-have-your-phone-with-you\">What happens when you don\u2019t have your phone with you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both smart locks can be opened with your phone. But how do you enter your house when you don\u2019t have your phone at hand? The LOQED smart lock can be opened using a 6 digit code, which can be entered on the screen using the two touch buttons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bold Smart Cylinder provides a backup&nbsp;access code&nbsp;for when you don\u2019t have your phone with you. You open the door by twisting the doorknob the number of times of each digit of the code. A code that starts with&nbsp;8 and 5, means that you have to twist&nbsp;eight times in one direction, followed by&nbsp;five twists in the other direction. Since it is a&nbsp;five digit code, it can take quite a while before you can open the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-battery-life\">Battery life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the Bold Smart Cylinder has a battery life of two years. You can keep track of the battery status in the App, which also notifies you when it is time to replace the battery. Note that it is extremely important to replace the battery on time, because when the battery is empty, it is not possible to open the door. To replace the battery (a CR123A-battery), you need to remove the smart lock from the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LOQED Touch Smart Lock also lets you know when the batteries are running low, which can&nbsp;power the lock up to one year. The batteries can be replaced by taking of the&nbsp;metal cover on the inside of the door. If it happens that the lock doesn\u2019t open due to empty batteries, LOQED provides an emergency power connector on the outside of the door. By holding a 9V battery against the smart lock, it gives the lock enough power to open using your phone or with the six digit code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-read-more-in-this-blog-where-we-compare-loqed-to-nuki\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/blogs\/news\/loqed-vs-nuki-smart-lock-comparison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more in this blog, where we compare LOQED to Nuki!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-price-difference\">Price difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The LOQED Touch Smart Lock is sold for \u20ac349,-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes the bridge, entry code and cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bold Smart Cylinder is sold for \u20ac199,-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bold Connect bridge that provides access to your door remotely costs an additional \u20ac99,-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When bought together, the Bold Smart Cylinder and Bold Connect cost \u20ac279,-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you\u2019ll find an overview of the specifications and most important functionalities of both smart locks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/nl\/\"><strong>LOQED Touch Smart Lock<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><strong>Bold Smart Cylinder<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open: smartphone app<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes (manually)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open: remotely via internet<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes (Bold Connect needed)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open: automatically<\/td><td>Yes, with Touch confirmation and inside \/ outside detection<\/td><td>Yes, via geofencing, open lock manually<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open: access code<\/td><td>Yes (integrated)<\/td><td>Yes (integrated)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Integration with smart home products<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Not yet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Protocol<\/td><td>Bluetooth, WiFi<\/td><td>Bluetooth, WiFi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SKG<\/td><td>SKG***<\/td><td>SKG***<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Motor<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Battery life<\/td><td>9 \u2013 12 months<\/td><td>2 years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Backup for when the battery of the lock has run out<\/td><td>9V emergency power supply<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Installation<\/td><td>Replaces inside fitting, as well as the cylinder<\/td><td>Replaces cylinder<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/products\/loqed-touch-smart-lock\"><strong>Check out the LOQED Touch Smart Lock here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"sharewrap\">\r\n<svg height=\"30px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\"><path d=\"M30.3 13.7L25 8.4l-5.3 5.3-1.4-1.4L25 5.6l6.7 6.7z\"\/><path d=\"M24 7h2v21h-2z\"\/><path d=\"M35 40H15c-1.7 0-3-1.3-3-3V19c0-1.7 1.3-3 3-3h7v2h-7c-.6 0-1 .4-1 1v18c0 .6.4 1 1 1h20c.6 0 1-.4 1-1V19c0-.6-.4-1-1-1h-7v-2h7c1.7 0 3 1.3 3 3v18c0 1.7-1.3 3-3 3z\"\/><\/svg>\r\n\t\r\n<button id=\"btn-page-lq\">Share this article<\/button><\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-54289051\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\"><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"\/news\" style=\"border-radius:0px;background-color:#003057\">Lees meer nieuws<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the different smart lock competitors on the market, it can be difficult to figure out which of them fits your needs.
