[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been extremely impressed with this smart lock, especially its integration with Airbnb. The system automatically generates unique access codes for every guest reservation and syncs them with check-in and check-out times. That level of automation is incredible — it removes the need for manual coordination and dramatically reduces the risk of security issues.
The build quality is excellent, installation was simple, and the mobile app is easy to navigate. The ability to monitor activity and manage access remotely adds another layer of convenience and security.
For any Airbnb host or short-term rental owner, this feature is a huge advantage. The automatic unique code generation is truly a standout capability and makes property management significantly more efficient.
Total Security and Complete Control for Our Season

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently purchased and installed a Schlage smart deadbolt on the front door of our seasonal home, and the security and control it provides have completely exceeded our expectations.
From a security standpoint, this lock gives us real peace of mind—especially since we’re not at the property year-round. The build quality feels incredibly solid and durable, exactly what you’d expect from Schlage. The deadbolt mechanism is strong, smooth, and reassuringly sturdy. Knowing we can monitor and manage access even when we’re miles away adds a whole new level of confidence.
The control features are what truly set it apart. Being able to lock and unlock the door remotely is a game changer. We can check the status at any time to confirm the house is secure, and the instant notifications let us know exactly when the door is accessed. That visibility alone makes a huge difference for a seasonal home.
We also love the ability to create and manage unique access codes. Whether it’s for family, neighbors, or service providers, we can issue temporary or scheduled codes and remove them whenever needed—no more hiding spare keys or worrying about lost copies. Everything is streamlined, secure, and easy to manage.
Installation was straightforward, and the app interface is intuitive and reliable. Overall, this Schlage smart deadbolt has significantly upgraded both the security and convenience of our seasonal home. It delivers exactly what we were looking for: strong physical protection combined with smart, flexible control. Highly recommended for anyone who wants dependable security and total access management, especially for a second property.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation was by far the easiest lock I’ve ever worked with. Everything from the sleeve that keeps the lock straight, to the thicker screws with a shoulder so you don’t have to try to line up a skinny screw to a small hole. Everything is already in place so it maybe took 3 minutes to install. Connecting to WiFi was also the easiest out of all the WiFi locks I’ve installed. I’m very impressed! Also, I love the tap to unlock feature. Didn’t think I’d use it much but it’s twice as fast as putting in a code. I love it! I will definitely buy more of these locks when I need to replace my other locks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Flawless and seamless integration with other smarthome features and works well with my smartphone too. No complaints. Great lock system!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smart lock is reliable and the batteries are long lasting I’ve had it for 8 months and still holding its charge. I love the back up key since never know. Best purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lock is amazing! I love that I can change codes from my phone and set schedule for when people are able to access my house. I also love that there is no thumb lock on the outside that you have to twist to open the lock. The only challenge has been helping people learn how to use the lock. When not in use, the keypad is completely black. You have to take the "unlock" button to light up the keypad before entering your code. Once they know that, they are able to work the lock with ease.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was pretty easy to install. The app is good and its easy to set codes. Hopefully it will last a long time.
