[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently installed the Schlage Century Matte Black Electronic Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt with Alarm, and it’s been a solid upgrade to my home security. The matte black finish looks sleek and modern, blending perfectly with my door’s aesthetic. Installation was straightforward—took me about 20 minutes with just a screwdriver, thanks to the Snap ‘n Stay design that keeps everything aligned.
The built-in WiFi is a game-changer. I can lock or unlock the door from anywhere using the Schlage Home app, which is intuitive and lets me manage up to 100 access codes for family or guests. The Apple HomeKit integration is seamless too; tapping my iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock feels futuristic and convenient. The auto-lock feature, with customizable delay options, adds peace of mind, and the built-in alarm (which you can tweak for sensitivity) gives an extra layer of security.
Overall, it’s a reliable, feature-packed smart lock with a premium feel. The AAA BHMA rating and Schlage’s reputation for durability make it worth the investment, though it’s not perfect if you’re impatient with tech setup. I’d give it a strong 5 out of 5.
