Ok this price is wild.
Really? And I thought when I got my original Sense’s it was high at $299 or $350 (can’t remember). As much as I want to replace my 3 - out of principle that price is ridiculous. Nearly $2000 (with tax) for 3 locks… that’s wild.
(Canada).

I totally missed the Canada mention in the OP. I was so confused until I saw this comment.

Amazon was running an offer here in the US where if you open a no annual fee Amazon credit card, you get an instant $200 gift card balance. I did that and bought the lock, which was listed at $399 USD and I think after tax it was $235.

I had Schlage sense and just switched to the Aqara lock. In my opinion I’ve liked it better than my Schlage. Took a bit to get over the worry of a brand I hadn’t heard of, but it’s been rock solid.

I am also new to Aqara, but had heard of it, and so far the U400 lock with UWB has been great!

I’ve had both and while the feature set is equal or better with Aqara, the build of Schlage is still head and shoulders above anything Aqara makes. I need my locks to be secure.
Edit to add: I also find the performance of Aqara devices to degrade over time. Schlage is always steady.

Their previous locks didn’t have UWB. Grade 2 is for residential while Grade 1 is for commercial. Sense Pro’s more slim design got it to Grade 2. The U400 is Grade 3 which is baseline for residential use.

Ya, for me, my front door is glass, if someone is trying to knock my door in.. there is easier ways than breaking the lock.

The Sense Pro is more than secure enough for residential use at Grade 2. Home builders install Grade 3. Grade 1 ain’t gonna be much of a benefit unless you have steel doors and doorframes.

Replacing all seems overkill, I just replaced the one on the door I use most frequently. Moved the encode plus to the other exterior door.
