The Defiant
Smart Hubspace WiFi Deadbolt is part of the
Door Locks test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Smart Locks
models like the Smart Hubspace WiFi Deadbolt are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Kick-in as sold
Resistance to kick-in as sold is how well the lock survived increasingly forceful impacts using the hardware it comes with.
Kick-in reinforced
Kick-in reinforced is the same test using an aftermarket Box Strike in place of the included strike or, for surface-mount locks, 3-inch screws; models scoring Excellent as sold were not retested.
Drilling
Drilling shows how well the lock stood up to assaults with a drill.
