Six Ways to Enter: Unparalleled Convenience

The WELOCK ToucA51 doesn't just replace your key; it revolutionizes your entire concept of home access. With six distinct unlocking methods, this smart cylinder offers flexibility for every user and situation. Gain entry in under 0.3 seconds with the precision fingerprint scanner, tap a secure PIN code (with anti-peek protection to prevent snooping), or use a convenient RFID card. For tech-savvy control, use your smartphone via Bluetooth or unlock it remotely or through voice commands anywhere in the world by adding the optional WIFIBOX3 gateway (it allows you to receive also a notification on your mobile for every lock/unlock event). This versatility means no one is left locked out and you can always choose the fastest, most convenient method for the moment.

Ultimate Control: Manage Access from Anywhere

Say goodbye to the hassle of lost or copied keys. While you can misplace an RFID card or phone or a PIN code is leaked, you can instantly revoke access digitally for any credential through the app. The true power of the WELOCK ToucA51 lies in its granular user management. You can create temporary access for a cleaner that is valid only every Tuesday from 8 AM to 2 PM, or give a houseguest a PIN code that expires after the weekend. Every entry is meticulously logged, providing a timestamped record of who entered and how. This feature is invaluable for monitoring home access and provides an undeniable audit trail, perfect for rental properties or families with teenagers.

Next-Generation Security: Beyond Physical Picks

The most obvious security upgrade is the complete absence of a keyhole. This renders traditional lock-picking tools utterly useless, eliminating a burglar's most common technique. Security instead focuses on the digital realm, where the manufacturer Welock states employing state-of-the-art banking-grade encryption. The company is though transparent about cybersecurity, acknowledging that while sophisticated hacking is a possibility, it requires far more skill than lock-picking.

It's worth noting that a 2021 blog post done by a group of cybersecurity enthusiasts called CriticalSecurity stated the existance of a very serious API flaw used by an older mobile app version, allowing an attacker to retrieve password and other confidential information knowing only the phone number of a victim. Even with the benefit of the doubt since then there has not been any updates either from the producer WELOCK (thumbs down for this) or from them, personally I have been using for three years an older plain keypad model PCB41 and the lock has proven robust and reliable, providing significant peace of mind and a formidable deterrent against casual break-in attempts (at least where I was living, I hope not to find any unwelcomed surprise after checking thoroughly my parents house :-). In any case I would like to remind that no software in the world is unflawed, however many cybersecurity vulnerabilities, except the ones dealing with hardware flaws, can be fixed with a firmware/app upgrade if there is the willingness.

Designed for Real Life: Power, Durability & Easy Setup

Engineered for reliability, the WELOCK ToucA51 features a sleek, durable build from zinc alloy and stainless steel, with an IP65 rating making it weather-resistant. Installation is a remarkably simple DIY job, taking just minutes with a single screwdriver, as it's designed to fit standard Euro-profile doors. Power comes from 3 AAA batteries that last for approximately a year and you get ample warning before they die. If they do run out completely, you can replace them directly from outside the door using the included hex key or, if you do not have spare batteries, you can connect an external power source like a power bank or your mobile to the external USB port of the cylinder to provide emergency power to get you inside. This thoughtful design ensures you’re never stranded outside your own home.

The Right Lock for Your Needs

Priced at around 130€, the WELOCK ToucA51 is a flagship model for a reason, combining every possible access method into one robust package. If your needs are different, WELOCK has alternatives. There is the plain keypad version PCB41 Plus or the plain fingerprint Touch63 . For homes with American-style doors, WELOCK has dedicated models to fit, though I have never used them. For most homeowners seeking the ultimate in keyless convenience and control, the ToucA51 represents the pinnacle of smart lock technology. It’s a reliable, feature-packed upgrade that truly allows you to leave your keys in the past and step confidently into a more secure, convenient home.
