A Host of Access Options for Modern Living

The Apollo is built around the concept of total flexibility, ensuring you always have a way to enter your home. It provides multiple keyless entry methods to suit every situation.

• Fingerprint Recognition: At the heart of the Apollo is a high-precision biometric fingerprint sensor. Unlock your door with a simple touch in under a second. It’s the fastest, most secure way to enter, perfect for when your hands are full. The sensor is designed for reliable, everyday use, recognizing your fingerprint every time.

• Touchscreen Keypad: A discreet, illuminated keypad provides a classic and reliable backup method. You can create unique PIN codes for family members and temporary codes for guests, service providers, or contractors that can be set to expire after a specific time.

• RFID/NFC Card: For those who prefer a card-based system, or for family members who may have difficulty with fingerprints, the Apollo includes support for RFID cards. A simple tap is all it takes to unlock the door.

• Smartphone App Control: This is where the Apollo truly shines. By connecting to the optional Blusafe Wi-Fi bridge, you can control and monitor your lock from anywhere in the world. Forgot to lock the door? Lock it from your phone. Expecting a guest while you’re at work? Grant them access remotely with a virtual e-Key.

• Emergency Key Override: True to its commitment to reliability, the Apollo includes traditional emergency keys. This provides a fail-safe entry method in the rare event that batteries are completely drained, ensuring you are never locked out.

Built to Withstand the Elements

Your front door is exposed to rain, sun, and temperature changes, and the Apollo is engineered to handle it all. It features a robust construction designed for exterior use.

• Weatherproof Design: The lock is fully waterproofed to survive all weather conditions, offering the same resistance as a standard high-quality door handle.

• Premium Materials: It is crafted from a robust zinc alloy, which provides excellent structural integrity. The stunning satin chrome finish is achieved through an advanced 7-layer plating process. This not only gives it a modern, sophisticated look but also provides exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring the lock remains beautiful for years to come.

Ultimate Compatibility and Easy Installation

The Blusafe Apollo Silver is designed to be a direct replacement for the most common type of door lock in the UK and Europe.

• Wide Compatibility: It is specifically designed to accommodate 90% of standard “lift-up handle to lock” multipoint locking systems, commonly found on uPVC and composite doors. This makes it an ideal upgrade for a vast number of modern homes.

• Installation: While installation is designed to be straightforward, it’s a task that requires careful attention. The package includes all necessary fixings. For the best experience, and to ensure your door is perfectly suited, professional installation is recommended.

User Feedback and Practical Considerations

Based on user experiences, the Blusafe Apollo has received positive feedback for its build quality and functionality, along with some practical considerations for potential buyers:

• Build Quality: Users consistently praise the lock as “great quality,” “exceptionally good,” and feeling “very solid” . It has been described as “far neater on the door than all the other smart locks”.

• Fingerprint Performance: The fingerprint sensor is generally praised as “fantastic and very fast,” with one long-term user noting it “works every time” . However, like most biometric sensors, performance can be affected if fingers are wet.

• Installation Notes: Several users mention that the provided mounting bolts are very long and may need to be cut down to size for your specific door . One user found it easier to purchase shorter screws. It’s also important to ensure the arrow on the spindle is facing the correct direction during installation .

• Customer Service Experiences: Reviews are mixed but lean positive. Many users report “excellent,” “outstanding,” and “first-class” customer service, with quick responses and helpful support . However, a few users have reported difficulty reaching support, with emails going unanswered for extended periods .

• App and Software: The accompanying app is generally well-regarded, with users finding it “great” and noting it works “brilliantly” for tracking lock activity . One user mentioned it would be good if the app was a “little bit more ‘finished'” but still found it “perfectly capable”.

• Child Safety Consideration: One reviewer noted that the door is “constantly unlocked from inside,” meaning small children could potentially open it. They solved this by adding a separate door/window latch for child safety .

FAQ: Your Questions Answered

How long does the battery last, and what happens when it runs out?

The Apollo is powered by 4 standard AA batteries, which typically provide 6-12 months of use depending on how often the lock is used. The system is proactive about power management:

• Low Battery Warnings: When the batteries are running low, the lock will notify you with a voice command every time you use the door. You will also receive notifications via the smartphone app if connected to Wi-Fi.

• Emergency Power: If the batteries die completely, you have two fail-safes. First, you can use the physical key override. Second, there is an external 9V battery contact point that allows you to use a standard 9V battery as a temporary power source to unlock the door.
