[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Helpful hands-free post that allows front keypad lever unit to press the black plastic back baseplate easily onto those post threads holding both halves without fumbling and dropping the mounting screws and screwdriver. Peace of mind for alignment and secure assembly. Therefore front and back hardware are stylish.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and it has worked really well. Pros: Install and setup was very straightforward. The quality of the lock is very high. The software from Schlage as well as the Apple integration works great. Phone/watch functionality works well. The auto lock function and lock status is something I didn’t have with my previous Schlage and it functions very well. Ability to add and remove codes is so simple and effective. Cons: Price is high for a door lock, but I feel you get what you pay for. Folks are still learning that touching the pad triggers the first entry. Not very intuitive that you can hit the home button to light up the pad before code entry but once you learn that, it works well for those that aren’t too familiar with the number placement unlit. Battery life is something that I do not have enough time to get a full assessment but this is a very active door and I can see myself replacing the AA’s every few months. My previous Schlage used a 9volt and was not smart WiFi and lasted more than a year. Again, I knew that going in as the tech comes at a cost in more ways than one. In my opinion, the benefits far outweigh the cons and I would make the purchase again. My hope for this lock is that it will last a long time. My previous Schlage electronic deadbolt lasted only 2 or 3 years. I am giving the brand another chance to prove out their quality with more features. For a lock this expensive, I think that is a fair expectation.
