The upgrade I didn't know I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried about two things when I ordered this lock on a new entry door. One, would it be much less attractive than a traditional deadbolt? Two, would it really be much more convenient? How hard is it to use a key?
I worried needlessly.
One, I find the lock very attractive. It looks classic and not futuristic as I had worried.
Two, oh my goodness how have I lived my life using a key? I really did think that I would use the key at least as often as not. Other than checking to make sure the copies of our keys worked, I haven't used the key once. Not only is the keypad/app/iPhone connectivity convenient, it is so convenient that I'm disappointed by the other doors in my life which require physical keys.
If you're on the fence about one of these, hop on over!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice, sleek updated model. I upgraded to this model from the previous model Encore. I had it for about 8 yrs - the lights wouldn’t work sometimes at night and had to guess the numbers to enter my code. This new one has better features and opens without pressing the keypad. Easy to install but had a little issue giving access to family. Overall I’m enjoying the reliability of Schlage.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lock has been great. I’ve used a few different brands and am very pleased with it. Easy to install and connect. Also great integration with home assistant.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this lock, so much so that we bought another for a rental property. We love it works seamlessly with our Apple watches. Easy to install, battery Life is much better than our previous Yale locks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this installed for months and it works great. Programmed different unlock codes for everyone so you know who’s there. Even put temporary one in for dog sitter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a breeze to install, no drilling or anything required in my case. It’s been dependable and looks great. Being able to babysitters have their own code to get in has been amazing. Just follow the directions and connect to 2.4 G wifi.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The encode plus isn’t Awesome addition to our home. Installation was easy and it connected in a minute definitely appreciate the added security of being able to lock the door or unlock the door while away.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do wish that the programming was easier and you could just turn it on to run seven days a week from Monday morning at 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM at a certain temperature. Then it would switch to 6:30 PM to 6:29 AM the next day at a certain temperature. It’s very confusing as I can’t figure it out.
