Built like a tank

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had other brands of smart locks before which have broken multiple times because of cheap plastic parts. Not my Schlage locks though! These things are built like tanks. Beautiful design, easy installation and connection to wifi, great app to control it... Need I say more?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Lock - skip WiFi and connect with Matter
on March 13, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ought and installed three of these Encode Plus locks. We use HomeKit and want a lock that integrates nicely.
Physical Installation was quick and easy. Good instructions and the process is straight forward.
Software Installation I initially setup on the Schlage App connecting the locks via WiFi as it instructs. Minor hiccups but was successful with all three. I have multiple WiFi antennas so each lock was close to a WiFi antenna.
After just a couple weeks the brand new batteries were running down on all three. I replaced with brand new batteries. After another 3-4ish weeks the batteries were running down again. This went on for several months. Did some internet research and others switched from WiFi to Matter/Thread connectivity.
I had to delete the locks from HomeKit and Schlage App, but was successful factory resetting and this time installed via the Apple HomeKit leveraging Matter/Thread. WOW! What a difference. Functionally there is no difference, but battery life is triple (or more!) verses WiFi. Again the functionality is identical but much better battery life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this lock. It does everything I need. Several codes for family and friends. Don't have to have keys, quick entry. Whst i like the most is that I can open and close the door with my phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having the flexibility to not only make sure I did lock the door when I left home but to also allow others into the house when I’m not home with WiFi capability has been a game changer. Love it.
