Peace of mind with ease of use.
This is a high quality lock set. Easy to program and easy to use. Looks really nice with a Saturday build. I really like this style because actuating the lock is done manually, which to me feels more reliable. And, there’s a key in case the battery dies or the keypad doesn’t work for some reason. Overall, a really simple, solid design.

Great Lock and the Key is in Your Head
This Schlage electronic keypad deadbolt has a trusted design that has been around for a number of years. We had our old nickel one for about five years and it has been very reliable. That one moved from the front door to the garage side door and we now have a Smartkey lock with remote key fob on the front entry to the house.When it came to installing a lock for our studio door we went back to the Schlage because of its price and reliability. The new lock has had some minor improvements from the original we bought a few years ago. These revisions make installation easier with simple inexpensive additions to the original internal design.As I had mentioned, installation is easy. The lock comes with two bolt length options. The most significant change to our old lock was the wire that feeds from the front keypad to the rear panel. With the old lock you had a thin wire with a TINY cap that pressed onto a pin on a circuit board on the back. It was incredibly fiddly when you consider that the sprung fastened cap was only about 0.08 inches or 2mm in diameter. In this new lock, it was a simple plastic plug that you just press in and it snaps into place. Sounds trivial but it removed minutes of frustration. After the basic assembly as shown in the first video on the amazon page, you just plug in the included 9 volt battery and follow simple instructions in the manual to program your lock.One nice thing I really like about this lock is that the deadbolt uses a clutch to engage the handle. You use the keypad to engage the clutch that lets the deadbolt work. After a few seconds the clutch is automatically disengaged and the latch spins freely.This makes it fairly tamper proof. In some ways it’s safer than our remote lock because there is less chance of someone trying to hack the lock remotely with some kind of wifi connection. We had our previous one for about five years and still use it on a daily basis. So I can tell you this lock is dependable. If you change the battery once a year you will probably never have to worry about it going flat. So far, I have replaced the battery on the old one every 12 to 18 months regardless of capacity and have used the old one for various electronic devices. These locks can also be opened with a regular key. Two are provided. We keep ours safe in a location where we can retrieve one in an emergency.Originally we bought this lock after a key broke in our old fashioned one. We had to call out a locksmith who spent three hours trying to drill out the old lock. It made a lot of noise, caused us (and our neighbors) a lot of frustration and then (to add insult to injury) cost us almost $300. That’s the price of three of these locks. So we bought this lock and we are so glad we did. It makes life so much easier not having to carry keys around. The keypad is illuminated and easy to use in the dark. You never have to fumble looking for keys. It’s a great addition to our garage and studio because of the number of times you go to the garage on some chore only to find the keys are back at the house. With the studio which is on a wing of the house we used to leave it unlocked because the frustration of going back and forth for keys seemed like a lot of hassle.We really like these locks. You can have several codes. Each member of our family has their own pin. We gave our sister in law one so they could crash even if we aren’t home. And we can create one on a whim should we have contractors or pet sitters visiting when we are away.When they first came out they were about 50% more expensive but they’re affordable now and I can’t recommend them enough.The only problem you might have with this lock is if you pull to close it really helps to have a second handle to grip and hold the door shut while you turn the handle. The twist knob on the deadbolt is not the easiest to grip and pull strongly, especially while twisting at the same time. For the garage and studio door we bought a cheap dummy knob to hold onto for this reason. That does the trick quit nicely.

Everythings Easy if This is the Lock You Want
We’ve done a ton of updates to our new home and still adding this to our front door is something we comment on everyday. It is so easy to use and has made quick runs up the street or to the park so convenient. Not to mention, our daughter can hop out of the car and let herself inside, instead of standing at the door glaring at me while I amble up to the door with the keys.Let’s be honest, this is one of the most used locks on Air BnBs for a reason – its simple, reliable, and affordable.Install : Before buying a new lock of any kind, measure your door and make sure it is a standard width. Finding out in advance that your door is extra thin/wide will make your purchase way easier and install frustration free. We have a standard sized door for this lock and were able to remove our existing lock and replace it with this within 15 mins – using tools that I already had at the house.Usage : Even though we were using the same cut out as before, this locks sits slightly differently which means we have to make sure to really pull the door closed before we’re able to set the deadbolt. So you might expect similar with your install.Also, setting new codes is incredibly easy.Hesitations : The only worry I had was several reviews that mentioned issues with the battery running out. We’ve had this installed for 4 months now and the battery hasn’t shown any indication of running out, but we have several other easy to access entryways to our house so I wouldn’t be locked out if the battery were to run out without me noticing. I don’t think I’d be comfortable relying on this lock if this was my only point of entry into the house since batteries have been issues with other reviews.Upgrades : When I bought this I just wanted a keyless option for locking/unlocking the door. Now that I’ve gotten accustomed to it though, I wish I’d spring from a handsfree option that would allow me to lock/unlock the door remotely. Not a negative thing about this product, but if you’re on the fence about how ‘smart’ you want things to be – I’d suggest ‘the smarter, the better’.

Solid lock, but only supports four digit codes
Overall, this is a solid product. My one gripe is that I wish it supported something other than four digit codes — that would make it significantly more secure.Beyond that, it’s nice looking, easy to install, and works as advertised.

Poorly engineered junk!
It’s electrically intermittent and will drive the user insane with rage!Utter garbage… What kind of “engineer”, in a piece of hardware where reliability is EVERYTHING, attaches the battery to a floppy, loose harness that goes intermittent with the first battery change? Was it such a problem to put a hardened electrical installation point for the battery into this? I bought it sight unseen (my mistake) off Amazon – only to find this loose connection pigtail to the 9V. I said to myself, “this will last about a year before it goes intermittent”. Sure enough, after the first battery change, it went intermittent. Smacking the thing would sometimes restore function. Fed up, I replaced it with a better brand that had both smoother function and a hard install point for 4xAA ilo the 9V. Best, this other, better brand (kwikset) also has easy access to replace the batteries – whereas the notchy schlage requires removal of two screws and the cover to replace the battery. Overall, this product is inferior and looks to have been “engineered” by cost people. DO NOT BUY!!!

These locks are excellent!! I have several of them and they are extremely reliable. In fact – have never had a problem with any of them. The key feature is that the actual dead bolt movement is actuated manually rather than relying on a motor. Other brands that I have tried require a motor to actually move the dead bolt and they go through batteries too quickly and are unreliable in seasonal climates where the dead bolt sometimes requires more force to open. The Schlage system is simple, reliable, and efficient. Batteries will last 2 or more years and there is a simple low battery warning system that provides plenty of time to change batteries when it’s convenient. Finally, the door handle version has an additional excellent feature that allows it to be set to lock every time the door is closed. This works extremely well for outbuildings etc.

These are the best keypad deadbolts I have used. Easy install, very durable, long battery life. Keypad buttons light up when you push top button (Not common on many keypads deadbolts). You can set two different codes to open the locks. Programming codes is easy

I have always had a code lock on previous homes and we moved into our new place that used a key and within 2 weeks I had locked myself out ad forgotten my keys 3 times! So we got this, I love the brushed nickel look it goes perfect with our door. Easy to install and battery has been going with no issues or replacement in over a year now!

Works well, looks good. Be careful your existing hole may have to be bored out slightly bigger. The number pad unit has 2 small wedges at the end of it so when placed in hole and pushed against the door it does not sit 100% flat on door so it leaves a gap of about 1/8. What I did was I placed a black 1/8 thick rubber pad between the key pad unit and the door. I cut out the 2 1/8 hole on the pad, placed it on the key pad unit , traced the pad to the key pad unit, cut it to shape size and then installed it. I then pushed the key pad unit with rubber pad against the door giving it a perfect snug fit filling the gap without oversizing the existing hole. Then I placed the indoor unit with the two screws compressing the two units together with the pad for a very snug fit. Works great and looks great. If it fit perfect from the start I would of rated it a 5 star.
