[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to install. wish could operate with blue tooth and wifi without having to pick on or the other.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install and set up to your internet was smooth. Application is user friendly and provides good information.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions were easy to follow. Was a direct replacement for my existing equipment. Remove and replace. Connected to my WiFi easily and also joined to Apple home. The software is easily understood and I like the many options for adding and deleting users.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The finish is nice, the deadbolt installation went easily. I like the 2 piece option because it was a replacement for a standard deadbolt and separate door handle. Remote capabilities were desirable for our lifestyle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these locks and own at least 10 of them for my building. They are indispensable because of the wifi, remote connectivity (meaning you can get access to lock features whereever you are as long as you are on wifi) and remote digital keyboard programming, which I use a lot for our place, our rental units, and our Airbnb. The locks work seamlessly with Airbnb and automatically assigns digital keys to guests at check-in and removes access when they checkout. You can tell that I love these locks!
There are two opportunities I see for improvement. They most bothersome thing to me is that the app is glitch. Sometimes you try to add a digital key remotely and you keep getting an error. When this happens, my work around is to close and restart the app and/or my phone. One of these steps always works eventually but this glitch is annoying to say the least.
Another opportunity I see is the battery consumption. While I love the fact that these locks are powered by four regular AA batteries and not some fancy, expensive batteries that are hard to find, they do have a tendency of going through batteries faster than desirable. I wish they could fix that.
Now outlined these two opportunities. However, if you are considering these products, I would encourage you to make the leap. Despite these couple of draw back, I would argue that these products are absolute Rockstar. They will change your life making previously difficult tasks easy.
Schlage has put a great deal of thought into making access management to properties easier for its customers and these locks definitely deliver on that promise with an app that is highly practical and easy to use.
