[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the features and connectivity of this lock. It has never jammed and has always been responsive. I can use the app to remotely lock and unlock the door. Setting it up with different codes for different people sends a notification to your phone each time the door is unlocked. I also like the auto lock feature after a set number of minutes for that added piece of mind.
The downside for me is I have owned this lock for roughly 3 months and it is already at 13% battery. I would normally expect batteries to last about 1 year before requiring changing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have installed 4 of the Schlage Encode locks on properties in extremely cold environments and in salt air environments, along with a mountain location and city location. All 4 have been easy to install and work consistently well. Highly recommend the locks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! Sturdy and was easy to set up code and use the app. The app is my fav feature, being able to program many codes for family members, while it also alerts you when they’re being used!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to this smart deadbolt, and it has completely transformed how I think about home security. The installation process was straightforward, and the compatibility with my smartphone has made locking and unlocking the door seamless. The ability to grant temporary access to guests or service providers is incredibly convenient, especially for someone who frequently travels.
What I appreciate most is the added peace of mind. Knowing I can check the lock status remotely is invaluable, and the built-in alarm for tampering adds an extra layer of security. The design is modern and fits well with my door, making it both functional and stylish.
That said, there are a couple of features I would love to see in the next version. For instance, integration with a wider range of smart home ecosystems (Apple HomeKits since I do not have encode plus but just encode) would make it even more versatile. Additionally, the battery life is good but could be improved with better power management. A solar-powered backup would be great additions.
Overall, this smart deadbolt has exceeded my expectations, but there is always room for improvement. It is a worthy investment for anyone looking to upgrade their home security.
