this is the third lock I'm ordering over the past 5 yrs. the first one was trashed when I washed the door. the second during a rainstorm. i love everything about the lock save this defect, if kwikset could find a way to make the electronics more water resistant, it would rate 5 stars
I would recommend this to a friend!

We replaced our similar smart locks with this Z-Wave and it didn't even last a year outdoors. We live in a more humid climate.

Hello MicheleA,
Kwikset electronic locks are intended for installation on a door where the interior of the lock is enclosed and protected from the outside elements, while the keypad can face the exterior. Our electronic locks are not fully weatherproof and cannot be installed on a completely exposed outdoor gate. For further assistance with your lock, please call our Support Team at 1-800-327-5625.
Thank you, Kwikset

Won't stay on line

This product will not stay connected to my Hubitat Elevation C7 hub. I have several other Z-Wave devices and all of them work perfectly. so, it is not a hub issue. Furthermore, it is a blasted nuisance to have to run a long network cable from my normal hub location to my back door in order to exclude and then re-include this thing. Taking the head unit to the hub is a possibility but with my huge fingers, connecting and disconnecting the cable plug is not easy, and those wires look VERY easily broken, and are BARELY long enough to offer easy connection. Mechanically, the lock is more than satisfactory, and locally, the codes work fine, so, it warrants two stars. I am trying to find SOMEONE who sells the Zigbee version, but no one knows a thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
