[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this as a gift for Christmas. Installed it to replace an existing Kwikset deadbolt. Started installing it at 7AM by 10:30 it was placed in the garbage and old lock was reinstalled. Damaged my door trying to get new different stryker plate installed. Why didn't you keep the same size and style stryker plates for all your locks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Key haters, you will love this lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With young kids in the house, I decided to change our front door lock to a keypad lock. Now kids just use the code to enter the house, no more lost keys! It also made it easier for rest of family. We don't carry keys anymore, and it works great when you have cleaning people and/or relatives visiting your house. You simply just program a separate code for them, and erase when they're done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Replaced Twice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lock is not water tight or appropriate for outdoor use... which sort of defeats the whole purpose. I've had to replace mine twice (once was a free replacement from the manufacturer) because it got wet and jammed. I like the idea of this lock (it fits perfectly and, in theory, serves a purpose), but I wouldn't recommend it for a door/gate exposed to the elements.

Hi sfboomer, Thank you for your review. Our electronics products are not designed to be used on outdoor gates or structures. While the exteriors can weather rain, sleet, and snow, the interiors, and the sensitive electronics inside, prefer a temperature and humidity controlled environment. SmartCode is a great option for your front, garage, or office door, and we hope you can find something to weather your outdoor gate. Should you need additional assistance from Kwikset, please give our team a call at 1-800-327-5625. Thank you, Kwikset.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a bit of trauma adding the lock to the door, we have found over the last year that the lock works very well. We love not needing to take keys when going out walking and one fewer keys is wonderful. We recommend this lock.

Works Every Time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've installed this lock on my last three homes because it's such a great product. The finish matches any hardware already on the door. I was impressed with installation and how easy it was. Also, the first time I bought the lock,I needed a little help with programming. Kwikset has a crew of helpful people to guide you through any issue over the phone. I'll always have a Keikset lock on my house, wherever we end up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one of these around a year ago and it works great! I recently bought a second one for another door because I liked the first one so well.

I'LL NEVER GO BACK TO KEYED ENTRY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't use a key to enter my house or to drive my car and I love it! No keys to lose. Don't need a purse to carry the keys. Freedom. I'll never go back to keyed entry. This is my second one. Batteries lasted for years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is such a great way to lock/unlock doors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually like the keypad feature better on this SMARTCODE 909 than the (more expensive) finger-swipe bio fingerprint lock that it replaced. Not having to carry keys is a convenience I enjoy with a lock. I installed the lock in July 2016 and as of this writing Feb 2017, I replaced the batteries only once, and this lock works overtime with our family in and out all day. And the keypad is as reliable as day one- never a problem.
