Awesome. Wish batteries lasted longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoy the smart WiFi deadbolt. It was relatively easy to install but it did require a trip to the store for some parts to make it work with my door. We love being able to check that the door is locked from anywhere. I also had to fashion a custom strike plate mounting to get it to catch. We do have to pull on the door when locking to make sure it engages. A more angled bolt would have helped with that. The only issue is that it burns through batteries faster than I would have expected. One month for batteries, even though there are a few of us coming and going…it just seems like it should last longer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Far So Good With A Few Quirks
on April 9, 2025
Posted by: Steph92109
from San Diego, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lock was easy to install following included instructions. The app is straightforward and adding/deleting users is simple. It was also easy to connect to the Alexa app and to set up use with a smart speaker.
The reasons for 4 stars:
-The thumb turn is loose. In the locked/unlocked positions you can jiggle it. Photos attached show how far the thumb turn can go to the left/right when it’s unlocked. According to the FAQs this is normal and there’s no fix.
-The notification option in the app is very basic. The only options are to be notified when door is locked/unlocked. It would be nice if you could specify what users or type of lock/unlock to receive notifications for. I don’t need a notification if I use my code to unlock it or if the thumb turn is used because.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this dead bolt look with wi-fi. It allows you to set a timer to automatically lock your door. You can unlock and lock the door using your smartphone from anywhere. It is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It is super easy to set up and install. I plan on buying one for elderly mother.

Amazing System
on February 5, 2026
Posted by: Delacasa

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently installed the Schlage Smart Lock on my front door, and it’s been a game changer for everyday convenience and home security. Right out of the box, the build quality felt premium, the solid metal construction gives me confidence that it will hold up over time and everyday use.
Setup was surprisingly easy. The instructions were clear, and the lock synced seamlessly with my app and smart home system. Within minutes, I had custom access codes programmed for family members, and I loved how intuitive the app interface is for managing users and settings.
The keyless entry feature has reduced the number of times I’ve fumbled for keys, especially when carrying groceries or walking in with my hands full. I also appreciate the activity notifications — it’s reassuring to get alerts when someone locks or unlocks the door.
A standout for me is the reliable connectivity. The lock hasn’t dropped connection once, and the battery life has been strong so far and i still haven’t needed to replace them after weeks of daily use.
If I could improve anything, it might be adding even more voice assistant features or more granular automation options in the app — but overall, this smart lock has exceeded my expectations.
In short, the Schlage Smart Lock combines robust security, easy installation, and everyday convenience that genuinely enhances my smart home setup. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home entry system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Schlage Encore lock is a high quality lock. The installation instructions are clear and properly detailed, making the install straightforward for even someone who has minimal experience.
This product readily connects with our WiFi and other apps such as Alexa and Apple products. The Schlage app works well and is easy to navigate. I love the many security features.

Perfect for airbnb

Posted by: Perfect for Remote Airbnb
from San Bernardino, California
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought four of these for my Airbnb because I wanted to be able to connect them to the Ring system. It’s been very easy to add and change codes remotely, and the notifications for when the lock is access has been very accurate. I’m using them for internal doors to add a sense of ease and security. Combined with a matching doorknob has brought the door a touch of elegance and modern sophistication.
