This smart lock’s functionality and app usability are both great. It was easy to configure and setup my entire family for access. The fingerprint reader is quick and the keypad easy to see and use. Handle operation is smooth and we love the notifications of when the door is left unlocked.
The major issue we have is with the fact the pre-existing deadbolt needed to be moved to the bottom and this handle installed on top due to the size of the battery compartment. This puts the handle at an unconventional height, making opening and closing the door feel just a bit unnatural. We also found moving the deadbolt was not a trivial exercise. It required altering the size of the strike plate cutout and drilling new mounting holes due to the fact the deadbolt strike plate and the door handle strike plate are different sizes with different screw hole locations.
In the end, we’re going to keep the lock but be aware of the limitations and extra work required if you have a deadbolt.
