[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several investment properties that I’ve used Kwikset Wi-Fi locks on. Over the past several years I’ve been disenchanted by the bugs that come with them. Recently, I decided to give Schlege a try on two of my properties. The contrast is amazing with my Kwikset locks I literally have instructions for my tenants on how to change the batteries. I have one lock that will go through batteries in a matter of days, not weeks or months while being completely unused. I couldn’t deal with it anymore. With my new Schlage locks on two of my properties I have not had any issues whatsoever. The connectivity with Wi-Fi is superior the battery life you can’t even compare the two. Overtime I will be replacing every one of my Kwikset locks with these locks. The only upgrade that I would suggest would be the ability to quickly re-key the locks to new keys like the Kwikset locks. Other than that, it’s worth it to not deal with all the other issues that come along with your competitors.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy install and setup. Connected seamlessly to Schlage app then to ring app. Performs exactly as I would expect a Schlage product to perform!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this smart lock to help monitor my front door because I have a mentally disabled parent that lives with me and I want to keep her safe. This has helped me to see if she unlocks the door via notifications and I can lock it remotely from my phone. Also eliminates the need for keys but still has one if needed as option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, super easy to install. No problems with the electrical components either. Doesn’t connect to wifi that easily. Mine still won’t connect to wifi.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a great lock. Works as intended. We have only run into one issue and it took a little bit to figure out. Sounds like it’s a common issue. The prongs to provide power from the battery simply wouldn’t always touch the locks prongs to transfer power. The lock would have no power randomly. We bent them a bit and stuck something behind them (electrical tape). No issues now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation was very easy and took only 15 minutes. It comes with long screw for extra safety as well.
App works absolutely Fantastic and lock, unlock process is very easy and quick
