Easy to install, tricky to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mistake was buying the matte black model, though our door is painted black so it seemed like the best match. The problem with the black matte model is that unless the keypad is lit up the numeric touchpad is awfully dim. Our porch is covered so that doesn't help. So, the user must guess where to press the first number of a code. The backlit keypad lights up once that's done, so entering the rest of the code is relatively easy. But if you touch the wrong number or miss the number a bit, you'll enter a wrong code, wait for it to notify you of the error, and wait more for it to give you another chance. Imagine doing that in a hurry. A workaround is to first touch the checkmark icon, lower left, which will light up the keypad, thereby making keypad entry much easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this lock for my Airbnb It was so easy to install an easy to connect. It's really modernized the check in process for guests and takes care of issuing codes for each guest as well as deletes them after guests leave! Flawless connectivity to the app and Airbnb. I would highly recommend this to other Airbnb hosts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great lock that works with Apple home. The only thing is that the manual lock lever is very loose, seemingly a manufacturing error.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finish was not so great on the unit I received. But, the functionality is really great. Works with Apple home. Easy to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this on my garage and cabana bath. Now the grand kids can come swim and get access to the bathroom, and I don’t have to hide an outside key for the house cleaner. I’m never locked out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded to this lock and we’re glad we did. The lock and unlock is much faster than our old lock. The ability to have tons of users is great when having multiple kids, as well as to see who accessed the door and when. Battery life seems great as we haven’t changed the batteries yet. It also shows you the battery percentage which is nice. Specially for those that have rental properties that don’t access them much. The backlit numbers are nice at night and the keypad sensitivity is perfect. A+ highly recommended!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this lock about a month ago and it’s been on my Front Door ever since. It has integration with Apple and this makes using it such a breeze. While I can put in codes for guest, all I have to do is hold up my phone or Apple Watch to the door and it will automatically unlock. I will never go to another brand. Schlage has me as a customer for life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like fit and finish. Easy to install, batteries included was nice. Wifi and Bluetooth set up to connect took some effort. Needs 2.4ghz. Older tech. I have app on my android. Tried to add app to my wife uphone and had same set up problems and never got app to connect. So she is on my account as a share. Would be nice if I could get it to work BT for proximity. Kind of pricey too foe the buggy nature of the setup, and I ha e worked in tech and electronics for over 30 years.
