Keypad, & Keyed Deadbolt
I have two of these deadbolts, & two of the keypad door locks. They are dependable, easy to install, & use.Even if the battery dies, they can be locked, & unlocked with with a key. This deadbolt, can also be re-keyed for additional security. I originally purchased this to allow a visiting family member to come & go without having to issue them a key. Another great feature is you can have different combinations for different purposes; one can be issued to a guest, another can be given to a contractor, & one for yourself. At any point, any, or all, combination(s) can be deleted, or reset to another combination.The instructions that come with this are easy to understand, and make the installation a breeze.It is very easy to add your own code for this deadbolt.It can also have a time delay lock feature so after you close the door & it will automatically lock the deadbolt.All features are easy to use, & setup. I would recommend these to anyone for their entry doors.These are reasonably priced, & dependable.I would recommend these to anyone who wants to have the ability to give a temporary code to a guest, or contractor while retaining your own code combination.The batteries seem to last a long time, especially since there are four “AA” batteries used for this deadbolt.It’s not only functional, but it looks appealing on our door. The pictures I have included show additional door hardware that is not included. This kit includes the deadbolt itself with a battery compartment, @ a keypad, section. It also includes all the necessary hardware to install this on your door. My installation was easy because I was replacing an existing deadbolt.I have included a picture that shows the indoor door knob, that is NOT INCLUDED, with this deadbolt. I added this just to show that it can be used with an optional door knob.
Love!
We’ve had this keypad for about six months now. Not a day goes by that I’m not thankful for it! I wanted a simple, easy to use keypad that didn’t require an app or much setup. This works perfectly for a great price. Very sleek looking. Install took maybe 30 minutes and was really simple. Solid locking mechanism; we feel very safe with it. Battery has lasted since we installed it, though I will probably switch out the batteries every 6-8 months just to make sure it does not run out.
Happy with product
I’m happy with the price paid. Installation effort was same as installing any other keyed door locks. Family likes the code feature, easy to set or change, etc. I like that I can re-key the lock if needed ( and already have used this feature) with this lock. No issues.
It’s so nice not to have to find a key to come in.
We bought three of these after staying at an airbnb a month ago. We loved it so much we bought one for all our doors. Two worked fine, one didn’t work correctly. Of the two that worked, they were easy to install, easy to program and they are so easy to use. It was also easy to rekey one to the other, so we only need one key, just in case the battery dies or it malfunctions. Anyway, a nice upgrade to our old locks, almost like we’re in the 21 century. Only got 4 stars because we had to send one back.
Perfect for my needs
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought this model because my current locks are all Kwikset, making rekeying easy. Also I now have a no-key-needed vehicle (card in my wallet). Now, I don’t have to carry a house key either. I like the look of the touch pad models, but I use one frequently and find that it’s harder to operate in the dark. It’s especially hard to find the first number, because the lock is dark until you press on the pad – “oops, wrong number again!” This lock is between my garage and utility room. Don’t care whether it matches the rest of my door hardware exactly. Easy to install, even easier to program and it has many features I don’t need (like automatic locking and 25 user codes), but you may find them useful. One note on rekeying the lock. Kwikset’s instructions are good, except I’ve never been able to get the rekeying tool into the rekeying slot as far as the instructions indicate. So, regardless of whether that tool is in as far as instructed, if you have the original key in the right position and, at the appropriate step in the instructions you can remove the old key, your ready to proceed with the new key. Comment on some of the negative reviews: The bolt and the striker plate on the door handle have to position this electronic deadbolt lock and striker plate so they engage smoothly, with little to no drag. I don’t think this battery-powered lock would last long term in a situation where the bolt has to fight its way into and out of the striker opening. Too high a load; something will eventually fry. In my case, I corrected just that situation before installation (found a stripped and cracked screw hole in the door frame). Fixing that takes a small amount of know-how but, if you’re replacing a smooth-operating deadbolt, this is an easy task.
Great Value and Great Support
I had decided to buy a lock from a different company but changed my mind after reading several bad reviews about reliability and customer support. I decided to buy this Kwikset lock because I was familiar with the company and the reviews were positive. I received my lock and it installed easily and quickly just like the step-by-step instructions said but the lock did not work. I called customer support and they were both cordial and helpful, walking me through their diagnostic protocols. When the lock failed with them, they immediately offered to send me a link and instructions to receive a new lock by mail (NO charge and I didn’t have to return the non-functioning lock). All I had to do was complete and submit an on-line form with digital photos of my failed lock. She said so they would be able to send me the correct lock. Made perfect sense because my lock finish was one of three different finishes. It arrived within 7-10 days. Easy to install and works perfectly! I will buy Kwikset again and I will recommend Kwikset to anyone who asks. What a refreshing customer experience!!
For the past 10 years, I have used similar Kwikset locks on 4 of my outside doors and they have proven very reliable. About 6 months ago, added this one to door #5 and it works just as well as the others with the added benefit of being a little smarter/easier to set up, and needing one less button to push to operate it. As well, the mechanism is noticeably faster to lock/unlock. [FYI: if you use the recommended ordinary alkaline batteries, they will last about 2 years. If you try rechargeables (like I did) they last about 2 months. I have no idea why.]
My friend has this exact lock. I instantly fell in love with it when I was visiting her. I don’t have to worry about my key. I do keep it on me but it’s nice to be able to walk out the door and know it’s going to automatically lock seconds after. It’s nice and convenient especially because my kid doesn’t always latch the door or friends come in and don’t lock it and it can pop open. So when people come in it locks and the pets can’t get out. Gives me peace of mind when my hubby is away or when I’m home on my day off sleeping. I’ll never go back to a regular lock system.
This smart lock is simple and easy to use. Purchased it for the door of the workshop and it works perfectly. Now I don’t have to carry keys around the yard all the time.
