Another smart feature for our house

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am all about having a smart house and this is one item we needed. It takes about an hour to install. We now have the lil kids. Ages 7 and 9 using their finger prints and not having to have a key ever. Accidental lock out. Easy peasy. I wish it had an automation for it. Say like auto lock at 9pm every night.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy installation, excellent experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This home improvement project had me walking away exaggerating my skills as a locksmith. Setup is quick and easy with a guided installation through the app. The visuals are detailed and tailored to the particulars of the door (established by a series of multiple choice questions). Plus, all of the individual components come organized in numbered boxes, making the parts easy to identify and locate with each subsequent direction. You even have the option to use the key it comes with or rekey the lock so that it works with your existing key.
The completed look is aesthetically pleasing. The design, shape and bronze finish are beautiful and polished.
I have been using the lock for a few weeks and thus far I am impressed that it works consistently. Moreover, I love the ease of not having to search for my keys, confident that I always have a means of access on my person whether it's key, fingerprint, or phone. The effortlessness extends to locking the door; when exiting I can just tap the scanner to lock (anyone can do this, it does not have to be a registered print). Most importantly, the ease does not compromise on my feelings of safety and security.
Apart from the device itself, the thing I enjoy most about the experience is the app. It is straightforward and helps keep the details organized. I can set up profiles for 50 users with multiple recorded prints per user. It also allows me to tailor the access of individual profiles by hours, date, or weekday and time. It allows me to check on the status of the lock remotely and adjust accordingly. It also maintains an activity log and identifies whose fingerprint was used to open/lock the door. The app can also be used to pair with Google Assistant and to set up an auto-lock feature. If that wasn't enough, the app includes a battery icon that informs me of how much battery life is left on the lock.
Initially, I was frustrated by the alert on the lock anytime the door was locked/unlocked, but found that the chime was easily silenced by an option in the app.
The only issue I encountered was an inability to register my son's fingerprint. Granted, his fingers are small and don't cover the scanner in its entirety. Presumably, as he grows, this problem will be eliminated.
Truth be told, this is not my first foray into the world of smart locks. However, this is so easily integrated into the existing setup that it is hands down the best experience I've had with a product of this variety and would be the first brand I'd recommend.

AMAZING!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kwikset HALO Touch Fingerprint Smart Lock is amazing. The technology behind this lock is unbelievable. I have 3 kids who can’t keep up with keys very well at all and now they don’t have to. When they come in from school they just use their finger and the smart lock recognizes it and the door unlocks for them to let them in the house. That in itself is awesome but to go even further it alerts my phone through the app and lets me know my house has been unlocked. Just the other day I forgot to lock my house and just as I was starting to panic I remembered that I can lock my door just by going on the app on my phone. It’s just that easy. The app is amazing because it alerts if the lock is jammed or if someone has tried to unlock the door and it didn’t recognize the fingerprint. It also lets me know if I need to change the battery on the lock. I can add up to 50 people’s fingerprints to be able to unlock my home. Also, I can unlock my door for the repair man whether I’m at home or not just by using the app. It’s wifi enabled and I didn’t have to have a smart hub for it to work. It didn’t take but about 20 minutes to install the lock and download the app. It does come with a set of keys incase the WiFi goes out which is great. This Kwikset Halo Touch Lock is BHMA Highest Residential Certified. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. I absolutely love this smart lock and just how easy it is to use especially for my kids who can’t keep up with a key.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Handy and Safe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving my new smart lock! Going from a traditional lock to this smart lock has been a big change but for the better. I enjoying not having to fumble for a key when I come home with a full groceries and can instead hold out one finger to be let in. I recently setup my mom's print on the pad so she can come over to my home to take my pups for a walk while I am at work. She had a lot of fun scanning her finger and now she has an easier way to get in without bringing her million key keyring each time she visits. The look fits my style well and blends with the door while still looking good. My hubby did the install while I was away but he said it took very little time and was quite easy to follow with guide. He is very handy around the house but still at a DIY level so I feel confident that most people could put this on without much effort. I look forward to many years of use with this lock!

Love this Deadbolt lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this lock. It works really well. I love how it tells you when someone uses the lock. It even tells you if they use a key. I also love how you can set up multiple people and you can set up a time frame. This is really useful if you have someone coming to visit for a short period of time and don't want to give them a key. It is also good if you have kids coming home during certain times of the day, so you can give them access during that time. I also love that you can unlock and lock it remotely, and check to see if it is locked or not. It was pretty easy to set up. The instructions are written well, and the App also helps you set it up. The only issue I found is on a couple of my younger kids, the finger print did not work the first time, so we had to program it twice. Overall, I would highly recommend this lock to anyone looking for a deadbolt lock.

Had to get one for the New Home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I just bought our very first home (it needs A LOT of work) and of all the expenses I am about to incur, I knew I had to get a great locking mechanism. I did a lot of research and found that the Halo Touch was exactly what I was looking for in terms of security and reliability. I'm loving the new house and when we have guests over I would say they're pretty dang impressed with the smart lock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Home security is one of my biggest concern. And finding the right fingerprint lock was a big challenge. I was so happy I found this.
It stores a large number of fingerprints which is perfect for our family. It was easy to instal and works really well.
