[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing lock. WiFi connected and allows for piece of mind since you can lock or unlock with your phone. We love the feature to be able to create temporary keys for our guests since we host a bit of events at our place.

Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt
on April 2, 2026
Posted by: KKenui
from Tulsa, OK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Schlage Encode Plus because it was advertised to work with Bluetooth and proximity unlocking. While the lock excels in physical build and setup, the smart features—specifically the hands-free entry—have not lived up to the marketing.
The Good: Design & Installation
* Installation: This is easily one of the most user-friendly locks to install. The instructions are clear, the parts fit perfectly, and I had it mounted and powered up in no time.
* Aesthetics: It is a sharp-looking piece of hardware. It feels premium, looks great on the door, and has a sleek, modern profile.
The Bad: Proximity & Android Support
* Proximity Unlocking: Despite following the setup instructions to the letter, the Bluetooth/proximity unlocking simply does not work. I expected a seamless "walk-up" experience, but the lock fails to recognize my presence or unlock automatically.
* Android Integration: I’m also disappointed in the lack of robust features for the Android ecosystem. Greater Android support and more tailored features for non-iOS users would go a long way in making this a truly universal smart lock.
Final Verdict
If you are looking for a sturdy, attractive, and easy-to-install smart lock for manual or keypad use, this is a solid choice. However, if you are buying it specifically for proximity unlocking or expect a feature-rich experience on Android, you may be disappointed. It’s a great piece of hardware that is currently held back by its software limitations.
> Pros: Sleek design, incredibly easy installation, solid build quality.
> Cons: Proximity/Bluetooth unlocking is non-functional; limited Android feature set.

Encode is awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These locks are great. They’re easy to install. The best thing is the app allows. You to set a schedule for locking and locking entering in temporary guest codes and most importantly shows you the battery life. I have eight of these locks and it’s so great to see when the batteries need to be changed otherwise I found myself every six months with the old locks having to go and check or change the batteries with these. You don’t need to do anything but look at the app.

Works perfectly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After other disappointing smart locks, this was our final try. Luckily, the lock integrated seamlessly with our Hub and we can see and update the status of our locks from anywhere. We no longer receive error messages and can easily give access to the visitors and vendors without leaving a key. The installation was simple and looks beautiful. Great choice!
