I would have given 5+ stars except the battery is not keeping a good charge. I've had this lock for less than a month and the battery is already down to 27%.
I was a little skeptical about buying this but I thought I would give it a shot. I was impressed with how well it worked. The installation was pretty straightforward if you ever installed a door lock before it’s about the same. Programming it was fairly simple also. The instructions do need to tell you how to charge the battery. Also the battery fully charged light never did come on after 12 hours of charging.
We had the first version which required 4 AA batteries and was always running out of battery. I love this battery backup feature and the palm unlock is awesome.
The lock is not compatible with my door, I need to return the product. Please advise.

I want to give this 4.5 stars. It is right below a 5 star product. It works exactly as advertised in every way. 1 of the 2 small issues I have with it is that the palm scanner can be a little finnicky with where and how it wants your hand to be placed to scan it. I have had to rescan 5-7 times on a few occasions before it finally unlocked (yes, I know that I could use the # pad, bit I wanted it for the palm scan). The 2nd small issue is that my deadbolt is very close to the door frame which makes the palm scanner side of the lock (oustide) almost right up against the door frame. The reason it is an issue for me is that it's hard to get my hand into the right position. I would like the lock much better if the scanner had a little wider left/right scan area so that my hand wouldn't have to be pressed up against the door frame to get a good scan.
Once again, both of these are extremely small inconveniences and I absolutely love this door lock. I am thinking of changing all my exterior locks to this.
