[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased 4 of these for my rental units and they have worked out great. I suggest always using the Mastercode feature so tenants can't change your set codes. Change batteries yearly. The locks are easy to install and use and are very reliable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this lock four year. The first 2 years I had no issues. Then the battery started draining fast anf sometimes the keypad would be non-responsive. Now the keypad is completely unresponsive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Kenbo78,
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the SmartCode 910, and we have a solution to get the lock in working order. Fresh alkaline batteries should last 6 months, and if your battery life is less than this, please check your door alignment and verify the long mounting bolts are not too tight on the mounting plate. Also, ensure that your door jamb hole is at least 1 inch deep to prevent jamming. For the keypad, we recommend performing the factory reset on the lock and the manual door handing process, described in the installation guide linked below. We're here to help, so please call us for further assistance at 1-800-327-5625.
on my 4th year with this lock and kwikset brought zwave locks to the marketplace that work great, very happy with this lock. Could be more satisfied if the lock container was smaller however, still the best product on the market for my use case.

Came home to a dead lock now it won’t work again
on March 17, 2022
Posted by: Person
The lock worked great until it didn’t. I’m assuming the batteries died while I was at work, got home and the keypad was dead. Replaced the batteries and did the SAME handing procedure as initially performed successfully and I get nothing. Factory reset the lock and attempted again and still nothing. Troubleshooting says the handing method was performed incorrectly but I did the exact same thing as last time and I’m not sure how you could mess up holding the lock button while you insert the battery pack…? Tried to get support but office is only open while I’m at work. Pretty disappointed.

Stopped working.

I bought mine 3 years ago and it worked well until about a month ago. The batteries were dead, and I changed them. The keypad kept turning red as if the batteries were still dead. I changed batteries 3 different times and then the keypad just stopped working all together. I ended up replacing the whole deadbolt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 3 of these in 2018. Zwave has been very reliable. Very handy to program on my phone. (requires a hub) The finish is starting to wear a bit. But, expected. I would buy again if building another home.

Great bang for your buck

We've had this coded deadbolt for over a year now. I installed it on our front door with a handle from a Kwikset kit while replacing all door knobs and deadbolts. I simply subbed the electronic deadbolt for the normal one (and used the normal one on one of the back doors). I like it a lot and my wife loves it. We have toddler twin boys and I leave earlier than she does, so packing boys, lunch, gym clothes, coffee, etc was hard enough without fumbling and dropping the keys. Now she simply has to press the button and voila! The fact that it lights up at night when you forgot to turn on the porch light is especially convenient. I bought the deadbolt on sale at lowes, used a coupon, and got their military discount so the value is outstanding. I use Energizer's best battery (expensive, but they last) and I just recently changed them for the first time. By the way, changing or installing the batteries is a snap, just slide the cover off. I turned off some of the lighting and unnecessary battery-draining features and I recommend others do the same if possible. It looks amazing and guests compliment the looks and the features. I'd buy it all over again if I had it to do over, and that's saying something because I can be pretty critical. Go ahead, if you're buying a deadbolt you're on the hook to spend some cash anyway, so you might as well splurge a tiny bit for an upgrade.
