[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2nd Schlage smart door lock. Previous Z-wave model certain board failed after 2.5yrs. Bought Wi-Fi model. Had issues replacing batteries Schlage support said 1) Only use Alkaline no Li-ion 2) Don't use high capacity or Ultra Alkalines 3) Replace with only out 3 new and 1 slightly drained Alkaline batteries
Had further issues with deadbolt gear getting stuck until I replaced the batteries.
In my opinion the circuit board could benefit from some capacitors or resistors or something to better handle voltage dips and spikes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the lock lasted a few years was great while it lasted now I have a delay in the lock connecting so I’m not able to use the keypad anymore
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use it at our vacation rental and the ease of letting our guests or maintenance in with there own special code works amazing!! We have had it for 4 years now. If you do need to get ahold of support they are also great to work with!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used Schlage locks for my properties for years. Having the ability to connect the locks directly to Wi-Fi and unlock with my phone was a game changer. Installation and setup is fairly easy and very intuitive. Love being able to unlock my door by just holding my phone near the lock
