Sesame Smart Lock - Your key, reinvented.

It only takes seconds to set up your Sesame smart lock and start unlocking your door with Sesame. Perfect for apartment-dwellers who want the benefits of a smart lock without changing the lock, home-sharing hosts who want a simpler solution for key exchanges, and homeowners who want to share access with friends, family, and service providers.

✔ Install your Sesame in seconds. 
No tools. No screws. No hassle. Install Sesame directly over your existing deadbolt lock without taking any part of it off. Ideal for renters!

✔ Unlock your door with your smartphone.
Download the Sesame app and unlock your door via Bluetooth. Never worry about forgetting your keys again.

✔ Auto-lock and auto-unlock your door. 
Let Sesame keep you safe by automatically locking the door after it's unlocked, and welcome you home by unlocking the door at your arrival.

✔ Knock on your phone to unlock your door.
Ask Sesame to open the door by knocking on your phone three times. (Knock to unlock is currently only available for iOS devices.) 

✔ Grant (and revoke) access to your guests. 
Give Sesame a list of trusted guests who are allowed to let themselves in, and Sesame will take care of the rest. No more spare keys or waiting around in person to let your friends inside! Ideal for home-sharing hosts who don't want to deal with the hassle of key transfer. 

✔ Allow someone you trust to manage your guests. 
Not only can you add and remove guests yourself, you can also add a trusted friend or family member as a manager, and allow your manager to add and remove guests for you! 

✔ View your Sesame's history log.
Sesame will keep a log of actions it takes, so you can keep tabs on who's been unlocking your door and when. 

✔ Keep your old key. 
Save your key as a backup, or for sentimental reasons. Even with Sesame installed, your original key will still work!

Waaaaay Better than August Lock and Otehr

Ive tried many smart locks and somehow this one had a battery that lasts over 2 years for a lock I use multiple times EVERY day. My August lock would last about 2 months on a door I barely use. Only thing is that the app hasnt been updated in 4 years and it seems like the company is almost non existent now with all their products "out of stock". Too bad.

Coming back soon !
But thanks for sticking around with us.

Terrific service and quick shipping

I bought my first Sesame lock when they first started up back in 2016. The first one was a Zero Day model (a little buggy) and died after 3 years. Sesame took care of it. Now that one has finally died and I've been so happy with it that I've ordered another. Amazing product. Absolutly recommend for anyone that can't swap out their physical lock.

Great customer service

My first shipment was lost in the mail, which was obviously not Sesame’s fault; I blame UPS for that. Sesame quickly sent out another package at no cost. Thanks!

Need more durable solution

Good idea and working good for some time, after it start loosing position because positioning mechanism (encoder) is not so durable.
There are no spare parts, you will need to buy whole new lock again.

Better than August, and many others.

The batteries last FOREVER, the lock is powerful and just as quiet. Sometimes the auto unlock doesn't work but I find the same with August. Overall , I've had 4 august locks and 1 sesame and I am slowly replacing them all with Sesames. Points off for auto unlock not always working and the fact that it looks like development has stopped.

Excellent Purchase!

Hey y’all!

I love the convenience and peace of mind having this brings. I live alone in a major city and having access of who’s opened my door and when, even remotely, is so mind calming. It’s even helpful running simple errands like throwing out the garbage when I only need my apple watch to open my door, so I don’t have to leave my door open. 10/10! Great!

Brilliant, very impressed

This is a fantastic product! I live in an apartment and unlike living in a house there is no where to hide a spare key, recently I locked myself out. After that experience I searched everywhere to find a smart lock that would work with a mortise lock. The sesame lock works and does what it’s meant to do flawlessly. I only have blue tooth connection but it connects quickly and has the door open in seconds. Installing the lock is so easy a child could do it. It looks neat and because it is on the inside of the door, I don’t need to get approval from the council of owners. I also need to praise this company for the speed of delivery to me in Australia. It was delivered within 1 week.

Okay ish

I couldn’t use August due to my lock design in my new building. Design basically does what it’s supposed to but with minimal features. Does not integrate with my brilliant control, Alexa voice control requires a PASSCODE making it a 30 second procedure to unlock the door. Needs an external keypad or something. My objective is to go keyless, not replace Control of every device with 100 unique phone apps.

Works like a charm!

The 1st Sesame I got was defective and after getting in touch with support they sent me the replacement one.
It just arrived and works like a charm!
It cannot be beaten if you leave in a rented apartment and cannot modify the lock itself.

Thanks so much for your kind review! We're glad we were able to help resolve your issue. We hope you will continue to enjoy Sesame, and please let us know if you have any further questions, we'd be happy to help!

Works on our mortise lock!

We searched forever to find a simple smart lock that works on Schlage mortise locks without resorting to an expensive replacement with a Schlage commercial-grade smart lock. I was concerned the plastic internals would have too much play in them to work effectively but so far so good.

Thanks for your kind review! Glad to hear Sesame works on your door. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at sesame@candyhouse.co!

LOVE my Sesame lock!

Love the ease of setup, and support. My lock came still factory-locked and support got back to me within 24 hours, resolving my issue. I believe it was the CEO that wrote to me! Very impressed thus far, and hope to make a few adjustments before re-applying it to our lock.

Thanks for the kind review! Sorry to hear about the issue you encountered and we're glad we were able to help you resolve it. Hope you continue to enjoy Sesame and please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions for us!

This is a pretty cool little device!

You really need the WiFi dongle also to get the full effect of the device. Though be aware that if you order both at the same time, they will come in seperate shipments.

Thanks for the review! Sorry about the separate shipments, they're handled by a third party and unfortunately we can't control whether they arrive together or not. Glad to hear you're enjoying Sesame and the Wi-Fi Access Point, and please let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
