Great Lock!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Schlage Encode for about six months now and it's been a game-changer for managing access to my property. Installation was straightforward – it took me about 30 minutes with just a screwdriver, and the instructions were clear. The lock fit perfectly on my standard door prep without any modifications.
The built-in WiFi is what really sets this apart from other smart locks I've tried. I don't need a separate hub or bridge, which simplified my setup considerably. I can lock or unlock the door from anywhere using the app, and I get instant notifications when someone comes or goes. This has been incredibly useful for coordinating with service providers and managing entry remotely.
The keypad is backlit and responsive, making it easy to use at night. I've set up multiple access codes for different people – some permanent, some temporary – and the app makes managing them simple. Being able to create and delete codes remotely without being physically present has saved me countless trips.
Battery life has been solid. The lock takes four AA batteries and I'm still on my first set after six months of regular use. The app gives me plenty of warning when they're getting low.
Build quality feels premium. It's noticeably heavier and more substantial than the previous lock I had. The finish has held up well to weather exposure, and the locking mechanism operates smoothly every time.

Awesome Smart Lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The installation process couldn’t be simpler. I followed the qr code in the installation guide to watch the updated video and it guided me through the entire process, step by step. Took me about 15 minutes total. The app connection was also seamless and simple.

Awesome for Rental units

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. As a general contractor, Schlage is my go‑to lock brand and I recommend these smart locks to all my clients.
Why struggle with cheap locks that are hard to install and set up when you can have real peace of mind with a Schlage smart lock that’s reliable and easy to use. I manage three short‑term rentals and can add, delete users and remotely unlock each property right from my iPhone using the Schlage app, with no issues so far.

Great features and connectivity!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great lock and functionality so far. the lock was very easy to install. It has a nice fit and finish. It was pretty easy to set up on the Schlage app. It was a little bit more difficult to set up on the HomeKit. I realized after a while that I had to do it from the Schlage app directly.. adding it from HomeKit Right away did not seem to work, but once set up, it’s working amazing. I was able to add other people opening the door with the phone to watch seems to work quite well. Also, I was surprised by the alarm functionality. I think this is a great addition.very happy overall.

Excellent lock with many features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used Schlage locks in our home for many years but this is our first modern, electric lock. Could not be happier. Install and setup was very smooth and the features the lock provides are very useful. We like the piece of mind that comes with KNOWING your door is locked even when you are away from home. The alerts are helpful to know when someone enters the home as well
