[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt is a strong choice for a premium smart lock. It delivers excellent smart-home compatibility (especially in Apple’s world), good security credentials and a trusted brand behind it. The downsides—price, some keypad/usability quirks, occasional connectivity/battery concerns—are real but may be worth them depending on your use case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt delivers robust smart-home functionality with strong user control. It supports WiFi out of the box (no hub needed), allows you to remotely lock/unlock, manage up to 100 unique access codes, view a time-stamped activity log, and create scheduled access for guests. Installation is reasonably straightforward, and it carries a top residential security rating (ANSI Grade 1) for added peace of mind. On the flip side, it lacks automatic geofencing unlock (so you still need a manual action when arriving), and the interior housing is somewhat bulky compared to simpler locks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best lock I've ever had. You can feel secure and monitor who enters and leaves your home instantly, and the app is great. I'm an electrical contractor and I've recommended it. In fact, last week I installed 40 Scalage Encode Plus units and my clients are very satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The encode plus is a great product with amazing features and security. Installation was a breeze and pairing with the iPhone was simple and fast.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother and law has been telling my wife and I to get one for the longest time. I now know why I can do everything on the app and if I feel like I left without locking the door I can check and lock it right through there I always know my wife is safe at home when the door is locked she falls asleep all the time without locking the door and it always bothers me now I can know for sure she is safe. My plan is to pay it forward since she got me one I plan on getting someone I care about one as well thank you Schlage for making my family safer!
