Reliable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works great and it’s easy to use. My favorite part is when you forget to lock, you can lock it from the Schlage app even when you’re away from your home as long as you have data or wifi.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent & Easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second smart lock. Set up was MUCH easier than the previous brand. Have had no issues with it. Been using it for 6 months so far. Haven't needed to replace batteries yet either. Love that I can set separate keys for friends, family, & service people.

A Reliable Game-Changer for Home and Business

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt has transformed security at our primary home, offering an ideal blend of ease, style, and reliability, particularly for short-term business use like our Airbnb. Its efficient design and robust features make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a dependable smart lock.
Installing the Schlage Encode was a breeze. With just a screwdriver and about 15 minutes, I had it up and running—no professional help needed. The clear, step-by-step instructions in the Schlage Home app guided me through aligning the deadbolt and connecting it to our WiFi. The lock fit perfectly into our standard door prep, requiring no modifications, which is a huge plus for homeowners or rental hosts looking for a quick upgrade.
The Encode’s sleek, modern design elevates our home’s aesthetic. Available in finishes like satin nickel and matte black, we chose the latter for its fingerprint-resistant touchscreen, which keeps it looking pristine despite frequent use. The low-profile keypad is illuminated for easy nighttime access, blending functionality with a polished, contemporary look that guests consistently compliment.
Built to last, the Encode feels solid and substantial. Its metal construction withstands daily wear, even with multiple guests using it for our short-term rental. After months of use, there’s no sign of wear on the keypad or mechanism. Powered by four AA batteries, it offers impressive longevity, with the app’s low-battery alerts ensuring we’re never caught off guard. It’s also weather-resistant, holding up against rain and temperature swings, making it reliable year-round.
Security is where the Encode truly shines. With an ANSI Grade 1 rating—the highest for residential locks—it’s designed to resist forced entry, giving us peace of mind. The built-in alarm detects tampering attempts, emitting a loud alert if someone tries to force the door. We love the auto-lock feature, customizable to engage after 30 seconds, ensuring the door is never left unsecured. The ability to create up to 100 unique access codes is perfect for our rental business, allowing us to generate temporary codes for guests that expire after their stay. The Schlage Home app provides real-time notifications and a detailed entry log, so we always know who’s coming and going.
The Encode’s built-in WiFi eliminates the need for a hub, letting us control the lock remotely via the app or voice assistants like Alexa. While it lacks geofencing, the keyless touchscreen is ADA-compliant and user-friendly, even for tech-averse guests. For our family, it simplifies daily life—no more lost keys! For our business, it streamlines guest access while maintaining top-tier security.
In just 15 minutes, the Schlage Encode delivers unmatched reliability, style, and security. It’s the perfect smart lock for home and short-term business use, making it a must-have for anyone prioritizing convenience and safety.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install, easy to use. This is for a short term rental property. It’s a very easy lock for guests to understand and integrates with AirBnB so new codes are generated for each guest.
