I began my home automation adventure with this lock running on a W**k hub. After adding more smart components and upgrading to the far-superior Hubitat hub, I have greatly enjoyed the functionality and security of this lock. After about 4.5 years, however, the electronics suddenly died. Not long afterwards, the actual lock died. I was sure that I was going to have to spend a few hundred bucks on a new lock, but I thought I'd at least reach out to Schlage and see what they said. After a delay of a few days (which they apologised for) they asked me to try a few basic troubleshooting steps. After three emails, they shipped out a brand-new replacement unit! I installed my new deadbolt last night and I'm back up and running!I have been extremely happy using the product, and I'm completely blown away by Schlage's service. I can't recommend them enough!

I have been using this deadbolt now for about 3 weeks and it fits in perfectly with the rest of my home automated devices. My wife absolutely loves this lock as well because it is so convenient to just open the door with a press of the button (or buttons). No more having to look through keys to find the correct one or try to unlock a door with a key while holding a bunch of groceries. My favorite part to this lock is the ability to link it to your security system or other Z-wave compatible devices. I have a professional security monitoring system through Guardian Alarm Company and I was able to install and set this deadbolt up on my own. The instructions are very clear and straight forward relating to how installation, and everything you need to install this new deadbolt lock is included. It took me about 45 minutes to remove my old door lock and replace it with this one because I needed to drill a new hole for the handle since my old door didn't have the long handle like this one, but the installation was very easy as long as you follow the instructions. Also, make sure you have your own drill motor, screwdriver, hammer, etc for the job. Programming the lock was just as easy thanks to the easy to follow instructions. It took me less than 10 minutes to fully change all the default codes/settings over to my own personal codes/settings, plus to enable to the Z-wave on the lock and sync it to my security system. My favorite part about this deadbolt lock is the ability to lock/unlock my door using my phone while I am not even home (I am able to lock/unlock my door remotely via my security system's application. Make sure you check with your security or other Z-wave devices first to ensure that your deadbolt can be used remotely). When I am just turning onto my street, I can quickly pull my phone out and unlock the door, not too mention I also set up IFTTT to recognize my location and when I am within a certain distance, it unlocks my door for me! The other great features about this deadbolt are the built in tamper alarm which allows you to set it's sensitivity where it sounds a high-pitched alarm if it detects someone trying to tamper/force your door open. The other great feature is the ability to set the lock to auto-lock after 30 seconds. I love this feature because I occasionally forget to lock my door and this feature ensures that my door remains locked on it's own. After leaving the door unlocked for 30 seconds, it automatically locks itself. Both of these features, the tamper alarm and the auto-lock mechanism can be changed and turned on/off using the settings described in the instructions booklet. I did have my security alarm set with a scene to auto-arm my house anytime it detected the door was locked and to disarm security when the door was unlocked; however, after about 3 days of constantly hearing my alarm being armed and disarmed, it got too annoying so I turned that off since I generally arm my security system anyhow prior to leaving. Another great feature about this lock is the ability to program different unlock codes into the deadbolt (you can also set the length of the codes between 4-8 numbers). This feature allows myself to have one code, my wife to have another code, and different codes for other family members as well this way I can see the date/time of when and whom came over to my house, entered my house, and left my house (Unfortunately, I am actually still trying to differentiate between the codes because my security system that is linked to the lock only shows me the date/time of when the deadbolt was locked/unlocked, not which code was entered; however, I know that there is a way to monitor the codes being used as well since the instructions clearly describe it, but I still have some exploring to do myself with the lock). This deadbolt is definitely a great purchase if you are interested in home automation or just convenient and secure deadbolts. It is rated of the highest security and you do not need to worry about fingerprints being left on the touchpad for others to see the code combinations because it doesn't leave fingerprints. It also lights up so no worries for night time trying to see the touchpad. The only complaint I have heard so far about this deadbolt was from my wife, she thinks that it is rather large and bulky on the interior side, but I am completely okay with that. The lock's features and performance outweigh it's cosmetic size on the interior side. I am moving towards complete home automation and now that I know how well this lock works on my front door, I will be definitely purchasing another one for my side door! I have read several reviews between this lock and other home automated locks on the market, but this one is the one I decided on going with because it had the least amount of negative reviews and had the highest security rating. I am now sure glad I went with this lock over a couple of the other big name locks advertised on the market today. I definitely recommend the Schlage Connect Touchscreen Deadbolt!

I just received this beauty today. I had to have an entire door set installed, including frame and all, so I had the installer set the holes and mount the device initially. When it was initially installed, I guess I missed a step where I needed to run through the programmers code so that the lock could figure out which setting was locked and which was unlocked. I fought with the lock for 30 minutes trying to get the auto lock to set, and then trying to get the lock and leave to set, and then I ran into the issue that the lock and leave was causing the door to unlock rather than lock.After the 3 minutes of frustration, I called and spoke with one of the tech support individuals. He asked me to remove the battery, hold the Schlage button on the front of the device, and let it run through it's setup. Did that, and everything went prefect after. I will give it to the fellow on the phone, he was calm, relaxed, and knew exactly what the lock needed to be happy.Features I love so far:Auto Lock: I have a horrible habit of leaving my doors unlocked because I live in a very safe neighborhood. This is a bad habit, and this lock fixes that for me.Lock and Leave: Walk out the door, click the Schlage button, and the lock sets.. Way too easy and convenient if you don't trust the 30 second autolock feature.30 User codes: This thing has the memory to store up to 30 user codes, and the length of the code can be adjust from 4 to 8 digits. Set up is really easy and streamlined, making it really quick and simple to set one code, repeat the code, set the next code, repeat the second code, all without having to reenter the programmers code. You can continue to enter codes as long as you know which codes you want to enter.The look, this thing is clean looking and very nice. I have the brushed Nickel on a Hershey chocolate brown door (will add pictures when possible)The feeling of security: I like knowing that the lock will be set when I leave. I do find a minor fault that the door had no way to verify it is closed before extending the deadbolt, as I can see a guest slamming the deadbolt into the door jamb when they don't realize it is extended even if the door is left open. I think a magnetic alert for the door jamb would be very useful to verify the door is closed before extending the deadbolt.The 1 bad thing for me:I am not a fan of the set up instructions and the number codes for setting programmer settings. It is frustrating when it shows to enter the programmers code, and the press 7 for auto lock.. it has a 7----------------------> making it look like you would hold the 7 until it gives a tone.. No.. that is a quick press, not a long press. I spent 10 minutes doing long presses and getting frustrated that the codes wouldn't set.I could have missed that explanation in the instructions. The guy on the phone explained that it was a quick press and done.. After that was explained, I was happy.

1.This door lock is great,2. Got it because my kids are old enough to stay home on their own now and I didn't want to give each a spare key that can be lost.3. I've programmed the kids with their own key code from the Phone.4. All access are logged through the app and we can see who arrives home from my phone where ever I am and its time stamped.5. Battery level after 4 months is down to 97%, so it will last a long time.6. You need the WINK HUB which is a separate purchase to work your smart lock with your phone. I can create key codes directly from my phone or a guest who visits.7. If your buying this lock you need the Wink hub other wise you cannot maximize all the features. The WINK hub can then be used for almost all smart devices.8. The only reason I gave this lock a 4 start is because I saw the price CHANGE... I paid 320 at the end of August 2018 and holly S**** it's now over 600 4 months later.... Talk about gouging... Not buying this now for my second door....9. (UPDATE ) seems price has dropped to just over 400 now so it Fluctuates.

I bought this a few months ago and its working well for me. A few tips. First the inside portion of the deadbolt is huge. In my case it hit the trim for the knob and I had to snip it a little to get it to fit. You should also take the time to make sure the deadbolt moves smoothly, as it'll eat batteries if there's significant friction. I did a good job on mine and its still showing 100% battery usage 3 months later.I hooked mine up to an old v1 Wink hub. Getting the hub to update to its latest firmware was a chore but once I figured out the trick it happened with few problems. The old Wink is very slow and if you have fast internet and a fast router, I think the update stream is more than it can handle. Even 75' down my driveway on an extension cord it wouldn't work. I finally put it on a hotspot with a weak signal where the total download throughput was around 2-3Mb/s and it updated no problem. $25 used from ebay so no big financial expenditure. With the wink app on a phone you can set all of the options like alarms and autolock with the tap of a finger, and I have it connected to Alexa. Alexa won't unlock the door for security/hacking purposes (like someone yelling "alexa unlock the door" through an open window, but there's another app that will override that if you really need it, a youtube video shows how to do it. However I can lock and check the door lock status with Alexa and the Wink app works on my phone and android smartwatch. I can lock/unlock with either. I haven't done it yet, but I'm pretty sure I can set up a 'robot' that'll lock the door if my phone leaves my local home router's range and unlock it when I come back.Unless you like tech tinkering, I'd buy a newer model smart hub like the wink 2 or smarthings 2. But if you have slow internet or an old wheezy router or a hotspot and extension cord, the old Wink can be made to work and the cheapo $20-something price lets you dip your toes into home automation. If you buy a used wink it may be on the former owners account, but wink will release it if you send them a photo of the mac address sticker and a copy of your proof of purchase.

So far I'm very pleased with the Schlage lock with Z-wave. I bought it to add to my smart home, which I'm controlling with Samsung's SmartThings hub. Note..you can only use the lock with Alexa if you have a smart hub like SmartThings, Wink, etc (to use Alexa with SmartThings add the SmartThings skill in the Alexa app). The instructions to connect with SmartThings is not great, so I'm adding them here to hopefully help someone out. Once you follow the steps below, it should only take a few minutes to set up the lock with SmartThings. If you've already set up the SmartThings skill in the Alexa App, you will still need to add the lock in the Alexa App as well (Alexa Instructions below the SmartThings steps). Additionally, I would recommend a Lithium AA Battery like Energizer Ultimate Lithium Battery. Otherwise the lock will eat through most other batteries pretty quickly.Note: BE SURE TO SET UP THE LOCK WITH SMARTTHINGS BEFORE INSTALLING ON YOUR DOOR.1. Your lock will need to be within 10' of the SmartThings Hub.2. Open the SmartThings App on your phone.3. Select the "My Home" icon on the bottom left side of the app.4. Select "Add a Thing" (Your SmartThing hub should be blinking green to let you know it's in pairing mode).5. Select "Add Device Manually".6. Select "Locks".7. Find the Schlage Deadbolt you have (Camelot, etc).8. Select "Connect Now".9. Touch the "Schlage" Button on the keypad of the lock.10. Type in the 6-digit Programming Code that is on the sticker on the lock (should be in the manual as well).11. Finish by clicking "0" on the keypad.You will here a series of beeps and see the green check mark light up on the keypad. You can then rename the lock in the SmartThings app. Hope it works for you! If you found this helpful, please click the "helpful" button to let others know as well.After you're set up with SmartThings and you have the SmartThings Alexa Skill added, you will still need to add the lock in the Alexa App to control by voice. Steps below are for the Android App; I'm unsure about iOS.1. Select the Hamburger Menu (3 stacked horizontal lines) in Top Left.2. Select "Smart Home"3. Select "Add Device"4. If you have set up everything correctly in SmartThings, Alexa should find the lock.Then, you can say, "Alexa, lock the ____door (whatever you name the lock in SmartThings)." Make sense? Good!

I’m a bit OCD about making sure the door is locked before I leave home. My wife gets a good chuckle out of it, and is sometimes gets annoyed. What’s worse is getting somewhere and then worrying about whether or not you locked the door. Should you jump in your car to run back to check it? Are you just being paranoid? Can you enjoy whatever you’re doing without worry about your doors being unlocked?The Schlage Z-wave Camelot door lock eliminates those questions. The touch panel gives you a positive checkmark when the door locks, and if you’re out and about when you start worrying whether or not you’ve locked the door, just pull out your phone and check. If it’s not locked, simply slide it to the locked position and be assured that the command has been received and executed at home.The lock has a lot of great features. It can autolock after being open for 30 seconds. It has alarms for tamper and break-in with various sensitivity levels. You can use the open/close status in a Wink robot. You can assign different codes to different people. And you don’t have to worry about getting locked out of the house without your keys.Now, if only pairing with Wink were simple. In theory, it’s supposed to be. In reality, it can cause hours of frustration. If these tips had been spelled out, it would have been very helpful:- Move your Wink hub as close to the lock as possible when starting the pairing. I thought 10 feet line of sight would be fine, but it wasn’t.- Be sure you put brand new batteries in the lock when you start pairing. Don’t rely on the batteries that came with the lock, even if they’re brand new. I worked for a day and a half on one lock. It wouldn’t pair even with the Wink hub 18” from the lock. I finally used a DMM to check the battery voltage. It was 5.97, so I shrugged, thinking it was fine. Later, out of desperation, I decided to change the batteries. With new batteries, the voltage was 6.28, and the lock paired almost instantly.- The Schlage Z-wave relay doesn’t really improve the reception- The Wink app will often say it has paired with the lock, but the green checkmark on the lock doesn’t confirm the pairing. The Wink app is wrong—the lock isn’t paired.- Be sure to use the Z-wave exclude command to delete the lock upon an unsuccessful pairing. This came directly from the Wink help support line. They claimed the exclude feature is more complete at removing the prior failed pairing parameters.- When the lock finally successfully pairs, you may not see an accurate battery level indicator for many hours. This parameter took overnight to read correctly on both my locks.- When you are paired correctly, the locked status should show up in about 4-8 seconds in the Wink app after you’ve opened or closed the lock. Also, changing the lock’s settings, such as the security or number of digits for entry codes, should receive confirmation in the app within 10-20 seconds.- Note that you can’t run the locks through either the scheduler or robots, but you can include them in Wink shortcuts. Wink claims this is for security and safety consideration.- The activity report only shows when the lock has been opened with the Wink application, not when it’s been manually unlocked or when someone has entered with a code. This was quite surprising to me as it means there’s little point to the log. If you have a robot set up you will get a notification on your phone when the lock toggles, depending on what you request.Pros for the lock:- It’s easy to install.- No one has had problems learning how to enter their codes.- It seems quite sturdy and comes with a strike plate that certainly exceeded the security of my doorframe original equipment.- I think it looks great, though my wife thinks it makes the doors look like hotel doors.- The auto-lock feature wherein the lock shuts automatically in 30 seconds is appreciated. Just be sure your door is closed when the lock slams home.Now, some cons for the lock:- The lock only reports the deadbolt’s extended or retracted status. If the door is not closed, but the deadbolt is extended, the lock will say it’s closed. It would be great for the lock to actually sense whether it’s mated to the strike plate.- Using the button on the back to turn on and off the alarm or set the mode never worked very well for me. Maybe I just couldn’t get the hang of it from the instructions. The Wink app works much better to set the alarms.- The tamper alarm is very sensitive. I have the “bludgeon” (forced entry) mode activated.- The programming code for the lock is only 6 digits long, yet you can program in 8 digit entry codes. What’s the point of 8 digit entry codes when guessing the right programming code can get the burglar in the door? Come on, Schlage, the programming code should be 8 digits!- There’s a bit of a security risk since Wink could be hacked, but then again, it’s not hard to pick a lock if you know what you’re doing. Someone who really wants in will just break a window.All in all, I’m pleased with the locks.Update Sept 2015: My Wink hub was damaged by a transient caused by the power company and wouldn't connect to Wifi. There was no way to delete the existing devices from the old hub. Eventually, Wink deleted my account and let me start again with a new hub. I had to use the Z-wave Exclude function to delete this lock. You don't have to reset the lock to "factor condition." Just exclude the lock under the Hub's Z-wave commands, then use the inclusion mode to re-add. If you use the inclusion mode rather than the Add Lock command in the Wink app, you get Schlage specific options such as add users, set alarm types, etc.After initial protest, my wife loves the lock. It lets her get into the house without fumbling through her purse for her keys.

Installation: Super easy to install in a standard deadbolt door. Evidently there are some ways you can run into issues with installation but this installed and was up and running in under an hour.I did some research and even bought the Schlage Sense by mistake when I thought it was this one. Unfortunately I had it re-keyed and installed it before realizing it was the wrong one. So I tried the Sense and Wifi adapter for a while and now have a better understanding of the difference. I now prefer the Connect for what was needed.The main difference between the Sense and Connect are integration with third party systems and other devices. I'll tell you a little bit about the difference from trying both. Rather than a quick summary I'm going to make you read the whole review so you understand the reasons behind it.Sense:Comes with Schlage software for your mobile device, you must create an account but it will do the basic lock/unlock with BlueTooth as well as manage codes, alarms, auto-lock and any other features on the lock. You can buy a plug-in Wi-Fi adapter so you can connect your home of business network to the BlueTooth radio on the device and remotely manage the lock. If you don't have a need to integrate with other home automation this is a very practical and easy to use smartlock solution. You don't need the Wi-Fi adapter if you are just using BlueTooth from your phone, and its often faster to just use the keys you already have in your hand from the car to open the door most of the time. This configuration is most useful for proving a unique door code for others you trust to get in to feed pets, etc.Connect:This lock has the same basic capabilities, in fact it is basically the same lock with a Wi-Fi adapter in place of the BlueTooth radio. The other difference is that Schlage provides no app to remotely manage the door codes, alarms or lock settings which is why it is 4 stars not 5. Although you don't have to buy a separate Wi-Fi adapter you do need to buy a hub that supports Z-Wave and find/configure software to operate the lock settings unless you want to stand outside in front of the lock and punch in codes which kind of defeats the purpose of remote lock management.My goal was home automation and integration with motion sensor doorbells, cameras, lights and other systems. I had picked up the SmartThings hub and some outlets and already had the Ring doorbell and floodlight cam. There are some basic built-in features that are quite useful such as being able to trigger other events on changes in door lock status, lock the door automatically when your phone goes out of range of the house, turn on a light when the door unlocks, etc. This can be integrated with some simple configuration available for free in apps that come with your automation hub and other smart devices and is most of what you need. Here comes the hard part. To manage the lock settings without standing in front of it, manual in one hand punching in codes every time, you will probably need to buy some software or go learn how to write, test and debug scripts in whatever the automation system uses. In the case of SmartThings, there is a community out there and your mileage may vary, I ended up spending < $40 on some device handler and device management scripts to solve it and then had some fairly simple instructions to follow to onboard it. Now I have fully integrated automation and remote lock management. The door locks in the evening at 10 and 12 if someone forgets to lock it. The door locks when any of our phones leave the area if we forgot to lock it. If someone jiggles the door when it is locked a light goes on and the door beeps, if we are away or at night it sends an alert and the tamper alarm goes off. We can add a door code from anywhere and set a schedule of when it will work from anywhere at anytime. We can answer the doorbell camera from anywhere and either let someone in one time or add a code for them on the spot. So yes it took some trial and error and time fiddling with it but now this system does about everything that was expected and a bit more, all from a smartphone except the setup needed one-time for the device handler and smart apps on the web sites.

I already use this style of Kwikset hardware on all the other entries on my home, so it's an instant match for me. I wanted Z-wave automation, which ties in nicely with my alarm system. The mechanism IS a bit noisy for my liking, and it does seem very particular about clearance and timing. Make sure the alignment and depth of the latch is perfect, and make sure you don't try to open the door before it's completely cycled open. (For some reason this waiting game seems difficult for younger users to grasp.) This isn't the only entry door we use, so I wouldn't classify it as heavy use, although it probably averages out to around 2 or 3 entries per day. So far, we've been using it for 8 months, and the battery life is still reporting at 70%. That's impressive, and way better than anticipated.The finish does have the same weathering issues I find typical on all Kwikset's hardware -- so it's a complaint, but a known one which is not unique to this particular item.UPDATE: One year in, and still working great. The first set of duracells are currently reporting in at 30% -- not bad for a whole year of use.

The media could not be loaded. If you have a door with a deadbolt that has plenty of traffic this is the deadbolt for you.Personal Experience:My family uses our man door on the side of our house for nearly everything, from walking the dog to going out back to taking out the trash it is the most heavily trafficked doorway. After a few instances where I was taking late night walks with the dogs and didn't want to fumble with keys in below freezing temperatures I decided to upgrade to this Z-Wave Deadbolt. Since I installed the deadbolt I have been extremely pleased with its performance. The electronic locking and unlocking features are so simple my 5/yo is able to lock/unlock while I get the dogs ready or cleaned up before going on a walk or into the garage. I also have a home hub which took less time to recognize the device than I spent physically installing the deadbolt (always a win). Having the deadbolt connect to my SmartThings Hub quickly was a huge plus because I hate spending tons of time setting up electronics that should be simple. One of the biggest benefits (IMHO) of connecting the deadbolt to my SmartThings is that I get notifications if the deadbolt is left open longer than an hour. I can also check the status of the lock before I go to bed, because if you are like me, you lay in bed unable to sleep and try to remember if you locked to door until you drag your butt out of bed to check. This unit does use batteries so just be aware that you are going to change them based on your habits, if you use the electronic features a lot you will need to swap out batteries more often. If I get 6 months of battery life based on the amount of traffic I expect than I am very pleased. Finally was the aesthetics of the product is in line with the door knob that I had so the new deadbolt did not look out of place after everything was completed.Pros:Easy to install if replacing and existing deadbolt of the same sizeNumbers and lock symbol are easy to read and pushConnecting to SmartThings was simple and fast (and by fast I mean less than a minute)Z-Wave Plus range and response is excellentColor scheme matched the existing knobs/deadbolts I haveCons:Battery life can drained if used constantly (I see this as cost of having electronic deadbolt but being objective)

So this review is based on my initial impressions of the lock and the installation process. I've only had the lock a few days so I may need to return and update it after I get a Z-Wave hub and can play with those features.The lock design is very nice. The components are mostly metal and seem well built. I like the 10 button keypad vs the 5 button pad. 10,000 possible codes seems more secure than 625, though I really don't expect anyone to brute force the the lock to try and find the correct code.My first complaint is that Amazon sent me a lock that was obviously opened and returned. My guess is someone could not get the latch to fit their door and returned the lock to Amazon. The latch was out of the opened parts bag and the plastic covering the internal face to protect it from scratches was obviously removed and replaced. Other than that, everything was in the bag and the small screw bags were all still sealed.The parts fit my door well, though I did need to chisel a bit more out of the side of my door, though that is no fault of the lock's. I did have two issues with the installation process though:1) The internal component with the motor and electronics has a triangular shaft inside it that needs to be in a certain position to align with the bar coming through the latch. For me, this was upside down and could not be turned by hand. I fiddled with it quite a bit, even trying to install the interior portions upside down to see if they would work. They did not. However, when I did the Door Handing process I noticed the shaft turned a bit, so I was able to stop the handing process at a point where the shaft was in the proper orientation. This solved that issue and I was able to turn the interior components back the right way and continue2) During the Door Handing process, the bolt does NOT move all the way into the door, it only went in about half way. This didn't seem right to me so I thought I had an issue. Not until I found the Kwikset installation video on YouTube did I realize this was normal.After that, everything went smoothly. Created a Master Code and added User Codes. The lock works exactly as expected. Hopefully once I get a Z-Wave hub I'll be able to pair it easily and have automated control over the lock with no issues.

This lock was bought to replace an identical product installed 3 years ago by the security company. The old one broke when one person opened it with the code from one side and another one did the same with the handle on the other side. It should not happen and the cost of $300 (with taxes) makes it an expensive lock at a cost of $100/year!The web page states "Easily installs in minutes with just a screwdriver". It is literally true, but, 3 years ago, the professional installer needed more than two hours to get it working right. For the replacement, I am not a professional and I did not know the product (probably like all Amazon customers) but everything was mostly ready, I needed more than an hour: 80 minutes. So yes, it installs in minutes, it is always true 🙂 (and the manual seems incorrect for the programming part, I did not get the green flashing announced).The box states "lifetime warranty for the mechanical part", so next time I might be able to use it but there is probably some small prints which will apply.Now this is a very convenient product, I would find difficult to go back to a traditional lock, this is why I replaced it!

I just installed this lock today, but as I'm already an owner of the Kwikset 913 (I replaced it but will reuse on another door), I'm pretty familiar with their products.The good/great:- I was relieved to discover that this lock works GREAT if you already have a Ring alarm system. The app can automatically add your existing access codes when doing the setup. You can add and remove codes through the Ring App, as well as lock and unlock the door. The inability to add and remove codes without removing the lock cover was my biggest complaint on the old 913 model (which is not smart, but does have a keypad). I wasn't able to tell any specifics about this feature from reviews or the product description and took a chance when I ordered. I'm very pleased.- Ability to re-key using the Kwikset SmartKey feature. (This is not "Smart" in the modern sense; it's purely mechanical, but allows you to rekey any SmartKey lock quickly and easily)- Like the model 913, I can set a switch to automatically lock the door 30 seconds after it's been unlocked. I'm one of those people who sometimes forgets, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Update: you can recreate this behavior with an Alexa routine, and set it for any time delay you'd like. (when is unlocked, alexa will wait xx minutes lock)- The lock works with Alexa - You can tell Alexa to lock the door - You can tell Alexa to unlock the door (this feature is disabled unless you override it, for security reasons) - You can set routines to automatically lock or unlock based on certain circumstances- I'm OK with the random number feature that prevents a fingerprint pattern from being discerned. You can turn it off. I think it may be a little confusing for guest use, but is pretty easily explained.- I like look of the display- Includes 2 3-inch screws for the strike plate. I needed to buy longer drill bits for pilot holes, but I like the added security of the longer screws.The not so great- When using with a Ring alarm, access codes can only be 4 digits, though if you manually enter them, they can be up to 8. I'd rather have a longer code for accessing my house.- The screws on the housing are tiny and awkward to work with, though they do now have a Philips head rather than requiring a teeny tiny Allen wrench of the 913. The bottom screw is the worst, because my door handle is in the way and the screwdriver has to be held at a slight angle.- Some reviews complain about the need to remove the housing in order to change batteries. The screw to the battery cover can be removed, but this leaves the lock more vulnerable to code tampering. (the screw is inside at the top.) I did remove the screw on mine. I figure that someone who knows how to change codes can just as easily remove the entire housing with a screwdriver.Update - 2 months after installation, the keypad is not lighting up. The lock still operates via the app, so I know the batteries aren't completely dead. To be continued . . .

Update after 6 months of use:Battery life is an issue, reduced rating to 4 stars. The batteries in these vary greatly in how long they last. I have two of these on my garage doors, and the rear one will last several months, while the front one (which sees more use) will only last 1-2 months, at most. I have replaced the batteries with rechargeable ones, but it's still rather annoying to change them this often. The other issue that I have with this lock is that you have to remove screws to change the batteries, which makes the lack of battery life just that more annoying.2nd update: I called Kwikset about the battery issue, and they did some quick troubleshooting. After finding no error codes or issues with the lock, they are sending me a replacement. The battery life was getting worse, lasting 2-3 weeks at most, with almost no use. I will continue to update this review once I receive a replacement.3rd update:The replacement from Kwikset was much better than the original. The battery lasts 3-4 months or more with occasional use, and I've switched to Eneloop rechargeable batteries for most devices in my home. I think I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one of these again, but would definitely call Kwikset for a replacement if they have a battery consumption issue.Original review:This is the 4th Kwikset deadbolt I've installed in my home, and the 3rd one with Z-Wave technology. I've put these on all the exterior doors of my home, and the installation is fairly easy. The instructions are well written, and if you have basic home-repair tools (screw drivers, maybe a small drill, and maybe a chisel) you'll be able to install these without too much trouble.The only trouble you might run into is if your door doesn't have a standard opening, or more likely, if your latch plate recess isn't the same shape and needs to be enlarged. The deadbolt comes with a much heavier duty latch plate that uses 4 screws - 2 short, 2 long - to secure your door better. The longer screws will go into to wall and make it much harder to kick the door in. However, if you have side-lights, you may have to use the shorter screws. This latch plate is slightly over-sized, so you may need to spend a few minutes carefully enlarging your latch plate recess with a chisel.As far as the Smart-Home integration, my Ring base station paired quickly, and integrated with the Ring controls with absolutely no issues. While this exact model isn't listed as "Works with Ring" certified, it appears that all the 91X series Z Wave locks work with Ring.Kwikset also has a "Smart Key" feature, which allows you to easily set your lock to existing keys. This takes just a few seconds to do, and works with most standard home keys.The fit and finish is excellent, and the "Contemporary" style looks great with a craftsman style door. I paired this with a Kwikset Signature Vedani door handle, which I think compliments the styling quite well.I have read some other reviews that mention battery life can be hit or miss, so I'll keep and eye on the use and level. My lock is close to a Z Wave repeater, and should see limited use, so hopefully I'll get more than a few months out of the batteries.

Initially when I installed this product, it would work when it wanted to. I made modifications and tightened screws and haven’t had an issue.

Easy to install and intergrade into my Home Assistant z-wave integration. A little noise during lock/unlock operations. however, not a show stopper.

Summary:1) Needs a compatible hub, see list below2) Your interior thumb shaft may not light up correctly, just cosmetic problem, doesn’t affect functionality. And if your savvy you can take apart the lock with a few small Phillips screws and fix it yourself.It’s a cool lock. Just for clarification, when the description said that you can connect the lock to your phone with a third party controller I assumed you could use Alexa or google home...not the case. I reached out to kwiksets support form online about connecting it to my phone and here was their reply:“Your Smartcode 888 unit requires a third-party HUB to be able to work remotely, depending on the HUB you get you will download their app, we have listed a few Z-Wave HUBs you can use down below.Z-Wave HUBs:1. SmartThings by Samsung2. Honeywell3. Wink4. ADT alarm5. Ring Alarm6. Vera“A bad note:I have replaced all the door hardware in my house before and this was no different EXCEPT the turn piece shaft that the interior thumb knob connects to was positioned upside down and wouldn’t line up (other people had the same issue it seems). I think it is really just a cosmetic thing because you can install it with the internal knob upside down it will just look a little funny. I could have returned and had it replaced but I just decided to take the cover piece off, the motherboard snaps on and off with clips and I think there was one more cover to get to the motor, I rotated it to the correct position and reinstalled everything and now now the interior knob is rotated correctly.I haven’t bought a hub yet, without being able to lock and unlock remotely, I decided to created 5 random codes that are active in addition to my code. if anyone needs to get in my house I’ll Text them an active code to get in and I will delete the code when I get home and create a new one to replace it. Takes 5 seconds.

I bought this thru Amazon refurbished 8/1/2020. The finish on the upper right corner had a small ding; which didn't matter to me; so happy with the price.I had to run ZWave exclusion on it since it was probably paired with original purchaser's network. Once I figured that out it was easy to connect to my SmartThings hub. Happy with that, full remote unlock/lock via SmartThings wherever I am.Install was relatively simple, and would have been shorter had I not rushed and had to redo a few steps. The hardest part was routing out the striker plate on the jamb to use the stronger deeper bolts that come in the kit. There's a business opportunity for someone to figure out how to router a door jamb perfectly without over-routering the hell out of it :).Because it was refurb, the original owner must have set their smartkey to it because the provided keys did not turn the lock. Found a youtube video on how to reset Kwikset smartkey without original key. Tedious, but simple work to fix and I got the keys working without issue. It would have been nicer if Amazon refurb team would have done this to ensure the included keys in the kit actually worked.Overall pleased with the fit/finish/quality. If I hit any issues I'll update this review.

Well, my condo association decided that we had to buy these locks as an architectural requirement. They actually selected the Kwikset 913, but the 914 looks exactly the same but has a ZigBee module for a connected lock.Install: I disassembled my old locks, opened the box, and was immediately dismayed as I went to install. The back plate wasn't in the box (the metal frame used to secure the front housing to the door from the inside). I looked again and again, but it didn't seem to be there. Extremely frustrated, I put my old locks back on the door and started to box this lock back up. Amazon returns make it easy, so I was just going to return and replace. At the last moment, I figured it may save me time and inconvenience if I called the Kwikset customer service line... So I did. I explain the issue, hoping I can coerce them into overnighting a back plate to me rather than having an open box return in Amazon's inventory.The CSA tells me, no... The back plate is there. I assure him, it's definitely not. He says, no... It's attached to the back housing. You just have to get it off. Even looking at it, holding it in my hands, I wasn't really seeing it. Nothing was obviously coming apart. I email his personal phone a picture, and he says, no.. I can see it. He manages to direct my fingers into the right place, and I finally manage to pry this thing off. There aren't any instructions in the documentation. I'm normally very good at this sort of thing, and I swear, this was the least intuitive thing on the planet. It looked and felt like the plate was a part of the locks control housing. I had to force the thing off, concerned I was going to damage something. If you are like me and can't find it, it really is there. It's just frustratingly not obvious or intuitive.Anyways, I get the thing installed with no issues from there.Connecting the Zigbee module: no problems. I have a Smart things hub. It was easy. It works with Google Home pretty easily.Setup and Design: the little switches on the back of the physical housing let you turn on the auto lock, etc. Very cut and dry. The code is easy to program. I had it set up and functioning in no time at all. The Kwikset smartkey thing works really well. I purchased an additional Kwikset deadbolt because our door was cut for it. Setting them up with the same key was easy.Use: the code is easy to put in. The lock is easy to turn with the key and quiet when you put it in and turn. The lock is also quiet and smooth turning the deadbolt from the inside. One big detractor, using the pin code to open the door electronically... This sucker is LOUD. Anyone inside is going to know you've arrived.The IFTT commands to open the lock as my phone connects to my home wifi hub works well. I can hear the lock opening as I come off of my elevator. Even if my home network goes down from a brown out and my phone reconnects and unlocks the door, the auto lock after 30 second will secure the door again.Final thoughts: I only bought this design because I was forced to. Honestly, installed on the door, it is moderately attractive. I like the vibe. I use a hallway passage lever as the main door handle. I'm happy generally. If I want forced to purchase this kit, I would have probably opted for a touchscreen lock rather than one with physical buttons. I'm certain the keys are going to start fading over the just like well used keys on a keyboard. Ass result, I try and avoid using the pin code wherever convenient to extend the new look on the digits. I've had the whole set a few months now. If you like the look, it's a decent set.Do keep in mind that it's got a ZigBee radio and not z-wave, so be sure your home hub is compatible.

Intro:I currently have three (3) of these locks installed on my house - and I love them. This device was actually my first introduction into Z-Wave about 3 years ago (along with a VeraEdge hub). My better half grew up in the middle of nowhere and was never concerned with locking doors. When her mother sold the house she was raised in, I actually had to change the locks, because she couldn't find a copy of the key to hand over at closing!. Needless to say, I spent many years trying to get her into the habit of carrying keys and locking doors with no success - it was time to change tactics. I decided that a smart keypad lock was the way to go and opted to go with the Z-Wave version so I could grow my smart home in the future (little did I know it would turn into an addiction). The lock had worked out great, so much so that over time I replaced all three exterior deadbolts with these.Installation:Lets start with installing the lock. You have, or will likely read some negative reviews about this lock and I can tell you that most issues with the lock operation could be traced back to the installation and the alignment of the door. We have all had door where you have to give it a little "nudge" or pull while turning the key to get it to lock. With a standard deadbolt, this becomes muscle memory and everything works fine, but in reality this means something is not properly aligned. The lock has a tapered end on the deadbolt to help compensate for some minor issues, but if you do not address an alignment issue before or during the installation of this lock, you are asking for trouble down the road as the motor is overworked trying to force the bolt through. Other then the alignment tolerance, and a few extra parts involved with the electronics, conceptually, this is installed no differently then a standard deadbolt. One thing to keep in mind however, is the indoor portion of the lock, which houses the battery compartment, it larger then a typical deadbolt. On one door, I had to sand down few millimeters of trim around the glass panel to make it fit.Z-Wave:These locks paired easily with my Vera Hub. When my Zwave network was very small, I do recall the range being somewhat limited and ended up adding a plug in module nearby to serve as a repeater. As my network has grown, I have not seen any range/connectivity issues. Vera is able to manage PIN codes "out of the box", if you are using SmartThings or other platforms, handlers or smartapps may be required. I am able to assign multiple PIN codes, temporary codes and schedule-limited codes (perhaps for a contractor or dog walker?). Vera can also set up alerts when certain codes are used, or if a bad code is attempted.Physical Functionality:I have always like Kwikset locks for the smart key functionality (you can re-key the lock your self without taking it apart, provided you have the current key) and that feature is included on these locks for the manual cylinder. The keypad is back lit which helps at night, and there is a subtle led status indicator inside to give you quick locked/unlocked confirmation (you can program this on/off). My one complaint (and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5) is the lock is relatively loud when it operates electronically. My family and I are mostly used it at this point and its only for less then a second, but I still wish it was quieter.Battery Life:The lock uses 4 AA batteries and I get at least 6 months of usage, usually more before replacing them at 20% or so. This will vary based on how often the lock is operated electronically and your mileage may vary. I last replaced the batteries in all three locks about 2 months ago and two are at 70% and the third is at 80%.Summary:Overall I am very happy with the lock (all three of them). I have had one in service for over three years and more for about 1.5 years with no issues. The flexibility and assurance I get from having these by far outweighs my only complaint of the sound level.

I had already been using a Kwikset 910 for about 3 years prior to ordering and installing this, as I wanted to make sure it would hold up. The original 910 has definitely been a solid product. No waring button numbers, and we use this multiple times a day. The batteries last about 8 months, including during the winter months here in Maine. This item is well worth the price. This was a set with the door handle, which perfectly matches the lock, but will require drilling a small hole for the bottom of the handle, but was easy to do with the included template. I have the Kwikset integrated with my Ring alarm system and couldn't be happier. You definitely get what you pay for with this product!

Purchased this because we wanted a way to keep from getting locked out accidentally, and also for Z-wave integration with Vivint. The mechanical potion of the install to refit it into an existing lock was simple. Took a few tries to pair it with the Vivint system but it finally took. Like the convenience of push button entry if I don't have keys, and being able to ensure it's locked remotely.. instead of "did I lock the door?". One thing to note is the lock runs on batteries, so to conserve power if it has not been locked/unlocked for some time, it will drop from the Vivint panel. To have it show again simply lock/unlock via the number pad. Batteries last about 6 months with daily use of going in and out. Will be getting more of this lock for the remaining doors in our home. Great looking, easy to operate, and happy with the purchase.

I needed a lock for a side door on my garage. Something easy to lock when I go for a walk. Installation was fairly easy. Needed to re-read setting ups which way the bolt went section because you need to program if it moves left or right. Once it is installed easy to operate from the outside. However from the inside to lock the door you turn the handle but you are also turning the motor which takes more force than a non-electric lock. Assume the Mfg. will not read this but would be nice if there was a button on the inside of the door that you can press and the door would lock, not a defect just something to make locking from inside easier

First of all this is NOT a smart lock. If does not connect with Alexa or Google and doesn't have an app either.That being said, it's PERFECT for use in both indoor / outdoor spaces (not weatherproof but if protected from elements it should do just fine).I bought this because I wanted to have access from the garage door without having to use my keys, same as my patio ... sometimes I would be locked out because my family didn't know I was outside working on something, so this fixes that problem!OK, so why 4 starts instead of 5? First of all, the manual lock is very tight, makes you think you're not supposed to turn the lock. It's also loud and the keys have to be pressed relatively slowly or it won't work.For the price these are minor things and can totally live with them. I already bought 2 units and probably will get one more soon.

The installation instructions are the best I've ever seen. The diagrams are large enough to clearly see the correct orientation of parts, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Granted, this isn't a complex part to install, but I was very pleased to see that they had clearly spent time making the instructions useful. This was a very simple installation, and programming was a breeze.Update after one month: I had to take one star off after a month because the keys have begun to stick a little and not work as well when pressed. I can still get them to work, but it's not as easy a push as it was when I installed this. Hopefully it won't get worse over time. As an outdoor rated lock, I would have expected this to still function as new after one month.

Called support and they told me since I was out of the 1 year warranty they could do nothing. Do not buy this hunk of chunk. There are far better options than to go with kwikset these days. Once this lock quit working and turned into basically a paper weight, I started exploring the different options available. You can find far better locks with much greater functionality for half the cost! Someone please explain to me why you would go with a trash company that does not stand behind their products. Think about it...they warranty this garbage for 1 year for a reason! Sorry kwikset, you fooled me once, you won't fool me again with your trash products.

My only problem was the turn knob shaft was upside down and would not rotate to the correct position for installation. I had to call customer support which was helpful although they are available only during normal business hours. The fix was simple place the decretive cover over the lock body and rotate the thumb knob 180 degrees. It will correct the problem, you can not turn the shaft by hand, only with the cover on.

After years of a old door and crappy lock.We could not be more excited at the prospect of getting a digital lock with multi codes function for the kids.Pros = Most of all controllable by Z Wave technology !!! Able to allow entry via phone to the UPS guy, Pet sitter, Neighbors wanting to borrow something while away and so on. Install a web cam with a speaker and you can see who just rang your bell and decide to let them in or not. How sweet is that.. !!! No more locked out kids due to loss of keys.. that alone is worth it. Rekey option on this set is easy as well....In our case we combined it with a Kwikset lock lever that matched up very very well. Due to our outside door being brown and interior very light.. we had to buy double of everything. All in all I think it turned out very professional and modern , clean looking.ConsBatteries wear down very quickly if you use the auto lock function. If you use the manual then it is okay.. however to switch from auto to manual requires the removal of the interior top .. a bit of a hassle .. would have been nice to switch from auto in wk to manual on weekends when we are in and out allot.The Venician Bronze finish (exterior in our case) does not hold up well to scratches, from rings keys etc.The Brushed Nickle interior cover is not as show in photos .. it is not all nickle. .the interior top part you pull off to change the batteries is now black. Which I am not so fond of. As you can see with a Natural finish Oak door .. the black really stands out on the interior of the door. So the picture on the ad / site did not match what I received in the mail.. a big no no in my book.I have long been a fan of Kwikset due to the affordability and good quality.Not to mention their customer support is top rate.Amazon had the best price on this item for sure. And you get it fast. Most Box Stores needed 2 wks for a Special order item such as this.I would not recommend this set if harsh exposure to elements either heat or snow.. I do not feel it would hold up well. I have seen then at different houses and the Bronze does not look nice after about 1 yr. We have a large overhang with a canopy of trees for protection.. and out lock never sees snow or rain.Sibl Wisconsin USA

This is a good looking, zigbee, combination lock. I am dedicated to kwikset as I like to have all the exterior locks keyed the same. My brother and I even our houses keyed the same. It’s awesome. Having a combo lock on my place is handy too.However, I installed two of these and neither of them work with SmartThings. One is relatively close to the hub and the other is close to two Zigbee outlets that act as repeaters and those outlets function flawlessly.The locks are easily added to the SmartThings app. One even showed its battery status initially. But neither has ever operated remotely and both have a permanent “offline” status. I read that they can go into sleep mode and that they can be woken up by using the key, so I gave this a shot. I’ve reinstalled each of them half a dozen times. I’ve tried changing settings in the device manager. None of this has worked and that’s disappointing.I’ve got a Z-wave kwikset lock on my brother’s and father’s house and these work well with SmartThings. Will SmartThings fix the issue? If they don’t, I’d recommend finding a Z-wave lock if you want to control the lock through the SmartThings app or save yourself money by buying a combo lock without connectivity.

This lock is a great addition to my smart home. I have this lock paired to my Samsung SmartThings so it locks automatically when I leave and it unlocks when automatically when I arrive.The lock has pin pad that you can use to lock/unlock the door but I rarely use that functionality because it's all automated. My wife and I each have "SmartThings presence sensors" attached to our key chains. When SmartThings detects either one of us has arrived it unlocks the door.I also have a "SmartThings multipurpose sensor" attached to the door (the white thing attached to the door pictured above) so SmartThings recognizes when the door is closed after either one of us arrives so it can automatically lock the door. When either one of us leaves SmartThings detects that I've left and locks the door. In short, I don't ever have to touch the lock.Another handy feature is the ability to assign lock codes. Say for example we go on vacation and have someone looking after the house. I create a pin that whomever is watching the house can use to unlock the door. While on vacation I can see whenever that pin is used to unlock the door.In regards to Alexa, I can ask if the door is locked or unlocked. You can also configure Alexa to unlock the door as well although I'm not using that feature.If you want to fully automate this lock with SmartThings you'll need a few things in addition to this lock:SmartThings Multipurpose SensorSmartThings Presence SensorA Samsung SmartThings HubI use the "Enhanced auto lock door" smartapp that relies on the multipurpose sensor to lock the door automatically after I close the door.I've been using this lock for about a month and haven't had any issues so far.

I purchased two of these after researching the other alternatives which are all at least twice as expensive. I replaced our existing standard single and double cylinder Kwikset deadbolt locks on our back and front doors with these. The process was straight forward because the instructions were simple and there was no need for drilling. I easily connected them to the built-in zigbee hub in Amazon echo plus. Now I can control both my front and back doors with Alexa. I turned on the number 2 switch in each of the locks so that they automatically lock themselves in 30 seconds when our children close the doors and neglect to lock them. We can remotely control both locks both by voice and through the Alexa app. I have a Ring pro doorbell also installed at the front door and I can remotely answer the door and unlock it from wherever I happen to be without having to run to the door, which I call ultimate luxury. We also feel a lot more secure knowing that all our doors are locked even when we forget to do so. We no longer have to run to each door and make sure it’s locked before we sleep.

I got this as a gift for my husband as we transition to a smart home. This lock DOES NOT NEED a seperate hub, we use the Echo Plus and it has worked seamlessly. I can sit on the couch with our baby napping on me and lock the door after the older kids go to school and unlock the door for visitors. The lock requires a voice code to unlock so it can’t be unlocked from someone just hollering from outside the door. The kids don’t have to worry about keeping track of a key and/or getting locked out. I can also lock and unlock the door remotely so I don’t have to pass the code out to everyone if I don’t want to.

It worked fine for 14 months and then it started to stick (catching something inside) and sometimes it cannot be opened without a key. Seems that some other reviews also have the same problem.I called Kwikset support and they helped me fix it, call them as they seem to have good support and answered pretty quick. I tried to capture the steps but I still recommend if you call their support.1. Easiest if you have the door open so you can reach buttons and also the battery compartment.2. Remove the battery pack.3. Have the lock bolt fully extended as if the door was locked.4. With one hand press and hold the lock button and with the other insert the battery pack.Now the lock bolt will cycle from locked to open etc and this also calibrates the position.This fixed my lock.Update 8/21/2020 The pad has started to be glitchy and no longer works except for some numbers so I have now replaced it. I do not recommend Kwikset for their handles or smart locks, cheap quality.

Our in warranty Schlage BE468 failed and purchased this as a replacement. Fit perfectly and works exactly the same. However, unless you already own a home security system that is zwave compatible, it’s not going to connect. So the name and marketing is a off. The specs say that is Alexa compatible but it in reality needs a hub. Trying now to figure out how to purchase a z wave hub without spending 100-250 dollars. Since it was the only replacement with the same footprint we were stuck.

I was looking for a good smart lock and you can't go wrong with Schlage, my daughters kept forgetting their keys at home and they had to go to the neighbor's for a while until I had to come back and unlock the door, I kept putting it off for a few months but what finally made me buy it was that they forgot their key 3 times in a week! So I ordered it and it arrived next day.Installation was a breeze I didn't need the manual there is a the Schalge youtube channel with all the models and step by step instructions, I was done withing 30 minutes, works the way it is supposed to do with no issues so far, I really love the auto lock feature every time you open the door after 30 seconds it automatically locks itself. I will be replacing all of my locks around the house in the next few months.

I had a professional locksmith over to install the lock. He had to drill the door to install and the lock is installed nicely. He then tried connecting the lock to the Wink hub with no luck. Basically the issue is that the lock comes out of the factory with Z-Wave disabled by default and we couldn’t activate Z-Wave even that we followed the instructions. This means that we can’t connect it to the Wink hub which means the lock is useless and even that it’s installed on the door it’s not being used and it’s too much hassle and time consuming to try to return it because the door was drilled for it. We tried getting Schlage customer service for days and waited for literally hours but no one ever answered. Even more so they hang up after a while without answering. We also emailed them but never heard back beside an automated response. Feel free to try their customer service and see for yourself (888) 805-9837

So, I did a lot of research before buying this lock for my short-term rental property. This lock was super easy to setup and integrate with my Ring alarm. Using the code to unlock/lock the front door enabled/disables the alarm at the same time. I also researched to ensure compatibility with Alexa and Amazon Key. Sure enough, Alexa will lock/unlock with voice commands, so far so good. Last step... Amazon Key (which supports this lock). Couldn't get it working. The Key app insists on having the cloud cam, and no way around that. Spent a lot of time with Amazon tech support. End result, Cloud Cam is mandatory but is also discontinued so.... I wanted to use Amazon Key to allow guests to easily open/close the front door and garage door. After a bit more research, the MyQ app will also allow this but I now have to return the Kwikset and get a Yale lock. (Note: The Ring app was the other option for guest access via smartphone but it allows shared users to make changes, delete devices, etc. I just wanted to give guest a single access solution so that if it's raining, they don't have to get out of their car to open the garage; and I say again...a single access solution that also works with the door deadbolts). Am waiting to hear back on my escalated Amazon Key support ticket, but this is likely being returned. Very poor coordination between the Amazon Cloud Cam and Amazon Key teams, which is unfortunate for Kwikset and Amazon Key in this scenario! It's driving my business to Yale and MyQ...

Operation: The lock works flawlessly. Basically you touch the screen and it lights up. Put in your code in and it opens immediately and quickly. I saw a few reviews saying that the keypad was not responsive or that the bolt was slow. That has not been my experience at all. The keypad is very sleek with excellent fit and finish. I looks and feels the way you would expect it to from the photos. The interior operates with a simple thumb latch which is smooth and solid.Install: The install is still super easy. The most important thing is to make sure that the strike and corresponding hole in the jam are properly located. If not, I am pretty sure that the motor will have to work hard to push the bolt and the batteries will not last long. You can check this by engaging the bolt with a screwdriver before installing the rest of the lock.Programming: Entering the codes is incredibly easy. You can put in 5 codes in a couple minutes or less. It also has little switches to control: whether or not it automatically locks after 30 seconds, whether the status led blinks; audio beeping on or off; and, whether you want to use the random number generator to prevent fingerprint patterns of your passcode. If you have the latter on it just will automatically light up two numbers for you to press before you put in the passcode. Having the ability to control these things and not being stuck with features you don't like is really nice.Pairing: I had no problem pairing it with the smart things hub and it works perfectly.Batteries: They were very easy to install and they seem like they would be easy to change when the time comes. The bottom of the keypad also has two hidden terminals for you to power it with a 9v battery in emergency dead battery situations, which is very nice.Minor criticisms:-The instructions are adequate but not amazing.-I had a couple of questions before I purchased. The hold time for support was a little over 10 minutes which seemed a little longer than I would have liked. On the plus side, support reps were helpful, knowledgable and native english speakers so maybe it is worth the wait.-I really wanted this in polished chrome but they only offer two finish options.-I feel like the interior component is somewhat bulky for my taste, but it seems like they all are.

Used the Kwikset Obsidian keyless deadbolt for 3.5 years. It looks great, but has a faulty touchscreen and ultimately the locking motor ended up failing on us. We ended up replacing it with a model that has physical buttons.Touchscreen: In direct sunlight (not sure if it is because of the heat or the sunlight), it frequently fails to register your touch. You'd have to touch it 6 or 7 times before it even registers a touch. Very frustrating. Reminds me of the old cell phone touchscreens from 2003. Works fine in shady, cool conditions.Battery Life: We had to replace the 4 AA batteries every 1-2 months. This, like most electronic deadbolts, doesn't work with rechargeable batteries, because they don't provide enough oomph.Product life: The mechanism started failing after about 3.5 years. I don't know how long these are supposed to last, but it eventually just stopped being able to grab the deadbolt and the motor would just whirr and grind.Conclusion: get something with physical buttons, like the Kwikset SmartCode Contemporary Single Cylinder Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt

High 5's for the Schlage Connect deadbolt. I waited for a warm day to install because I thought the front door would be open for hours. The entire process took me 1.5 hours to install start to finish and that included me chiseling out the door jamb in order for the dead bolt to fully extend. I also had to chisel out the door some to match and align everything. I fretted over and over if I had a RH or LH door swing. Reading over the other reviews, product information and searching Schlage's website it just made it more confusing. The installation directions point out that if you want a RH door install one way, a LH door install, rotate a piece in the lockset and you have the other. If I had known that I wouldn't have waiting 4 months to order the thing.the touchscreen works very well and shows no prints. You can operate it with gloves on (it is still winter). I'm looking forward to going for my morning run and not having to take my keys. The hardware is great quality with a hefty feel to it. The lower door attachment goes all the way through the door and you can see it inside. they provide a cover for the bolt that shows inside so it's no big deal. It actually makes the entire lower portion feel stronger.Overall - the look and feel is great, easy to program and add codes. Next is to attach it to my z-wave system and integrate it with home automation.Update 2018 - after having this deadbolt for almost 4 years I'm still happy with it. I integrated it into my z-wave system and I can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with my phone/ipad/laptop. I also have an indoor camera setup with it and whenever someone opens the door - my camera takes a short 30 sec video of them coming and going. I did have to add a sensor to the door to make it all work. Batteries in the lock last about six months. You can tell when they are going out - the lock starts turning slower. Since my door is pretty tight - i always hold the door closed while the lock is turning - that way it doesn't use as much power and never fails to lock/unlock. Still a solid 5 stars from my perspective.

The price on this seemed great and I was planning to implement some home automation (HA) features in my new home, so I went ahead and bought it. I installed only the deadbolt first since I couldn't figure out how to drill a hole in the door for the latch/handleset.This was in place for about five months without the HA integration - in that time with twice-daily use, the battery only dropped about 3%. That includes fall/winter weather with low temps in the single digits. I assume now that it's connected to the HA system that the battery life will deplete more quickly since the lockset is polled periodically.So the pros:Good battery life - I don't forsee replacing the batteries but once every 18-24 months.Nice style and qualityintegration with the MiCasaVerde VeraLite z-wave controller was quite painlessOnce installed, extremely convenient - I don't carry keys around, can see who enters the house and when, and can generate one-off codes easily.The cons:If you've never installed a latch handle set and your door isn't pre-drilled, it may require the use of a special drill bit (black oxide tip is what I used - need something rated to drill through metal).It is loud when the deadbolt mechanism is operating.The MSRP is ridiculous and no one should be paying anything close to it.A final note - someone with too much time on their hands house sitting at my house decided to remove the master code sticker from the documentation and it is now nowhere to be found. I thought I might have to buy a replacement lockset since the programming code is required to connect to an HA system or add/modify codes, but Schlage wisely puts a duplicate set of information on the interior side of the deadbolt mechanism - you do have to unscrew it from the door and look on the back, however. A much better solution than having to purchase another lockset.

The lock was just what i was looking for. However the brass deadbolt screws would not screw into the deadbolt housing. Threads did not match the bolts. After a frustrating call to Amazon, the CS rep pulled off a miracle and got me a replacement before i had to leave town. The replacement went together perfectly. Disappointed with Schlage QC but very happy with the way Amazon cane through.

I installed this on my porch entry door in Northern Maine and was concerned how long the batteries would last, and, if the frost movement of my porch would keep jamming the lock. Installed on June, 2019 and so far no issues. Although, Spring time here is also when we get a lot of ground movement when the frost goes out so, we'll see.Works great on my Samsung Things Hub with Alexa. Love being able to give access for UPS deliveries. Also love that we were able to create many different codes for various people and assign their name to the codes so we can see exactly who (and when) that person opened the door. For security reasons, you cannot unlock the door with Alexa without verifying your Alexa code, which is no big deal and prevents someone from outside yelling for Alexa to unlock your door. Besides, it's only one extra voice verification to get Alexa to unlock it, worth the extra 10 seconds. At night we simply say; "Alexa, Perform Good Night" and she turns off all the lights, locks the front door and closes the garage door if it was left open.

I've been struggling with Schlage locks on my Hubitat platform for 3+ years since migrating from Wink. With one installed at the front door and one at the back, I've been through a total of five failed units. I don't know why Schlage can't figure out their QC and warranty policies on these locks, but it's embarrassing for them.Since all of my locks, including non-smart ones, are keyed alike - I felt locked-in and didn't want to change brands for just one or two doors.***IMPORTANT*** - this is not a well documented feature, but this lock can be re-keyed alike with other Schlage locks by ordering a replacement SC1 keyway with Kwikset's patented SmartKey technology to allow you to match keys yourself with no special tools or training. This is a big deal to me, since I can keep all the other Schlage locks but benefit from this lockset, which is: 1. Much less expensive. 2. Much more available in retail channels. 3. More compact and 4. So far, much more reliable. Throw in the z-wave 700 series radio and this is a NO BRAINER.The SC1 keyways aren't that easy to find or determine the correct part number, but as an example, I ordered Kwikset P/N 85174 in black finish to match my Bronze lockset. Easy to install, easy to rekey, and finally freedom from Schlage's failed ecosystem.BTW - I'm still waiting, 11 weeks now, for the most recent warranty replacement to the failed Schlage lockset this item replaced. I haven't decided yet what to do with it whenever it arrives, because when the other Schlage lock in our house fails, it is going to be replaced with another one of these...

I love the way this lock looks. I have the matching lever (SmartCode 917) on the front door as well as the back, as well as the Halo Touch model on the back door so both entry doors looks sharp and modern. The build quality is what I expect from Kwikset; durable, sturdy, and solid. I like the smart key feature so I can minimize the number of physical keys I carry. Installation was on par with other locks, straight forward and the included instructions were clear. This isn't my first smart lock. I have their wifi lock on my back door and have had a previous z-wave Kwikset locks on my previous home. I was able to add this lock to my SmartThings app easily enough. My one disappointment is there seems to be no way to add this lock to my Google Home, despite what Kwikset itself says. All information I could find is how to add a Kwikset wifi lock to Google Home, not their z-wave or zigbee locks. According to their FAQs, this lock should be compatible with Google Home, but the only other information they give is 'consult the home automation system.' There is no option in Google Home to add a Kwikset z-wave lock, only the Kwikset app itself, which their z-wave locks are not included. Other than that, I really like this lock. I'm slowly making my home into one that is truly mine and that includes changing out more traditional hardware throughout. The contemporary look of this lock, coupled with its smart capabilities, is a big step in that direction.

Got this for two reasons1- keypad option to get in if I lose my keys or don’t have them on me.2- Zwave let me integrate with Alarm.com and control with my phone/alarm panel/web interface. I can manage passcodes using these services and have the door lock synced up.From a trust standpoint I’d rather have the paid alarm service control my lock than a free app from the lock company…just saying.Check with your provider though. Rip-off companies like CPI or ADT probably won’t let you add things they don’t sell you - move to Alarmgrid and take control of your own hardware!!!

The lock itself is great, I had some trouble installing it and the battery cover screw is not correct. I had trouble initially calibrating the lock but eventually after several tries it worked ok. At first it would not work with my Ring alarm, but then Ring after a while found it and now it works. So give it some time and Ring will pick it up.
