[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time buying a smart deadbolt. I am very happy with the purchase, it works seamlessly and installation and set up was fairly quick and easy. I was drawn to this for its classic look, security rating, how the buttons will stand the test of time, solid battery life and that I can unlock my front door from my phone. Solid product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a 76-year-old female who lives alone. I wanted a quality smart lock for my front door, compatible with Apple products, so I bought the Schlage Encode Plus. I admit that when I first opened the box, I felt a bit overwhelmed at not seeing pages of instructions: just a card with a QR code, but once I scanned that there were NO worries. I was able to follow the step-by-step instructions on my phone to install the lock myself with absolutely no problems. Once I'd secured the lock to my door, connecting to my Wi-Fi couldn't have been easier, and within a minute, the lock was working. The physical interface on this lock is great. I love the flatscreen, and I also love the fact that should I want to use an old-school key, the physical keyway is right there, easy to see and access. The LED indicators on the flatscreen show me at a glance whether or not my door is locked. Schlage has a reputation for security, and I sleep better at night knowing my place is secured with a Schlage deadbolt smart lock.
No need to have key in pocket where I might lose i

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that i dint need a key when I take the dogs out for a walk. Also i like that it tells me if it is locked or unlocked. So far so good but have not had it a year yet.
