Don't waste your time or money
on December 15, 2023
Posted by: Shannon27
We have tried replacing this item a number of times after our first one malfunctioned and jammed after only 8 months. Every single replacement we installed malfunctioned. The first one would not accept any codes, and wouldn't stay locked. The second one may accept codes, but it doesn't stay locked and it seems to jam. We are on replacement number two and we have wasted an inordinate amount of time trying to figure it out.
Response from kwikset.comBy Mariana, Consumer Service, December 21, 2023
Hello Shannon27,
We're here to help! To resolve the jamming issue, please try these steps:
1. Open the door and lock the latch so that it's extended. Remove the key from the key cylinder.
2. Remove the interior assembly of the lock and ensure that the Flat Blade piece is in the vertical position.
3. Reattach the interior assembly and keep the latch locked. Please do not try to unlock it.
4. Perform the Door Rehanding step.
In addition, please check your door alignment to prevent jamming: https://www.kwikset.com/support/answers/how-do-i-check-door-alignment-for-my-smart-lock

Convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So convenient - I do not always carry my key with me when walking the dog, so being able to enter a code on the keypad to unlock makes life a lot easier and more secure. Easy to install by a do-it-yourself type person. I like that you can easily re-key it to an existing key, again very convenient!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this Kwikset powerbolt 250 transitional keypad electronic deadbolt for about a week now. My family really appreciates it. We replaced a different brand's smart lock for this one. I'm glad that I did. It's much more convenient as the other lock had a separate key pad and the touch function didn't always work. I like that each number has it's own button vs the ones that have 2 numbers on each button. We have a few different codes programmed for each person in the home and we have not run into any issues since installing it. The installation was fairly easy and this deadbolt fits perfectly on a classic door. I'm happy about this change.

CONVENIENT, CONFIDENT SAFETY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the help of my son-in-law I now have my Kwikset Powerbolt 250 installed. I’m not always confident with my DIY abilities, but with his guidance, installation was quite simple. I installed the lock on my garage-to-house door and truly enjoy being able to have my house secured when I leave, without having to hunt for a key every time I leave/enter. I feel safe knowing that when I close my door I’m now also automatically keeping it locked until I return. The keypad is easy to use and also allows family members to enter without me having to go down a flight of stairs to let them in. Also like the ability to issue temporary codes, should the need arise. Wish I had installed this years ago!

Great Lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had been in the market for an electronic deadbolt, and after seeing this one and knowing the brand Kwikset we chose the satin nickel one. The install was easy enough, took under half an hour. The instructions were very thorough. The deadbolt itself was a breeze to program and it you can tell it is a durable, high quality lock. I highly recommend it if you are needing an electronic deadbolt.

Love this deadbolt!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re sick of having to dig out a house key every time you come home, this is for you! Fairly easy installation. We have several codes programmed, so that each family member can easily remember their own. I program a code for the girl who takes care of our pets when we’re gone, then I remove it when we return. Easy to do. Looks sleek and not bulky. Definitely a winner!
