[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These locks have been very reliable and easy to set up and use. It is extremely helpful to operate them from my cell phone. I highly recommend them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily replaced our current lock and door hardware with came with this lock - which I’m glad I did, because the latch plate was only held in with 2 tiny screws and one wasn’t even securely fastened! Overall, the features on this lock are fantastic and we have had ZERO issues with it. What I really like is that it’s extremely quiet and you cannot hear it operating (locking/unlocking) from a nearby room; other smart locks I could hear grinding and operating from all the way across the house behind a closed door! 11/10 would recommend and would buy again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use encode Schlag's for my short term rentals. I have the ability to put in codes even if traveling abroad. I can see when renters arrive and leave. It gives me the ability to put in date and times and this acts S a security feature as once a guest has checked out their code doesn't work reassuring the next guest that their code is only code that will work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lock was so easy to install and set up and connect to my Apple home, Alexa and Ring apps. I thought it would take hours but I had the old lock off and the everything set up in less than an hour! Very happy with the purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt for a little while now, and it has easily become one of my favorite smart-home upgrades. Installation was straightforward, and the setup process through the app was surprisingly smooth. Within minutes, I had remote access, custom codes, and notifications up and running.
What really sets this lock apart is its Apple Home Key compatibility—being able to unlock my door just by tapping my iPhone or Apple Watch is incredibly convenient. I no longer fumble with keys, and it’s great for family, guests, or tenants who need temporary access. The WiFi connection has been stable, and I appreciate the instant alerts whenever the door locks or unlocks.
The build quality feels solid and secure, and the design looks clean on the door—not bulky like some other smart locks. Battery life has also held up well so far.
Overall, the Encode Plus is reliable, easy to use, and packed with features that actually make everyday life easier. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a smart, secure, and modern deadbolt solution!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had other smart handles and deadbolts before but schlage has a better, smoother app, as well as a smoother keypad. Just better quality than the cheap stuff.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love the ease of installing, downloading app and its compatibility with Airbnb. I know when guests check in and it’ll lock after a specific set time to know my how is secured. The app is easy use and connect to my WiFi. I am able to share codes, if I need to. It’s worth the cost…highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t install this product the gentleman that installed my new front door did but I have installed previous models of these deadbolts and they were easy to install. Connecting the lock to my wifi, the Schlage app, and my Apple home app was super simple. The instructions in the in the book let were easy to follow. Now I can open the lock by multiple means: code, my phone, and my Apple Watch. I’ve had a Schlage smart deadbolt before and the convenience of being able to lock it from your phone or check to see if you remember to lock it from your bed at night is great. I would highly recommend this lock and others in this line since I have had one for well over ten years and have always felt safe and secure in its use.
