Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt Lock with Century Trim, Satin Nickel

Very very difficult to install , if your door is 1 mm thicker than the metal piece which connects the 2 parts, your are screwed!!

We got this lock to replace a 4-5 year-old Schlage BE365. It had started to not unlock and we were unable to get it to work again. One thing we learned in fiddling around with the old lock was that when Schlage says to use an alkaline battery, it's not just a suggestion. You need to use an alkaline battery. We've had this new lock in place for a little over a month now. During this time it has worked flawlessly. That being said, we are mindful of the reviews that have noted sudden failure, in one case after only 6 months. If it pulls this with us, I'll be back with an updated review. For now, so far so good. The Positives - Seems well built, and has a high rating for break-in resistance - Installation was painless. When I scanned the provided QR code the installation instructions popped right up and were so clear and simple that even I had no trouble following them. - Operation is smooth and the keypad is responsive - The ios app, while basic, gets the job done. - Battery life seems reasonable. After a month+ of light use, the app is showing 93% remaining The Negatives - None so far. The only thing we are worried about is how well it will hold up over time. Quite happy with this purchase.

After much research, I finally bit the bullet and bought a Schlage Encode, and I'm so glad I did. I love this lock! Installation instructions (especially the online interactive instructions) made it easy to install, although I did have to make a few minor modifications because it didn't quite retrofit to my old lock fittings. Now that it is installed, everything seems to be working perfectly. The Schlage Home app makes it super easy to lock/unlock the door (great to do from the car when you have an armload of shopping or from bed if you're not sure the door is locked), set up user codes for specific dates and times (which I need for my Airbnb guests) and notify me when the door is locked and unlocked. It can be set up to automatically lock or not after the door is open (great for when people leave to ensure the door is locked). I'm so happy not to have to take my key with me when going out. Definitely worth the price.

This lock is easy to install, looks great and work flawlessly so far, there's a 1in play in the thumbturn this is normal, make sure you follow the step by step instructions after installation, this will make WiFi connection and software update very easy, too early to say anything about battery life, if you're in Canada and looking to connect this lock with your ring video doorbell or your ring alam system it will not work at this time as you need Amazon key which is not available in Canada yet, hopefully soon, as you're able to unlock your door from the video of your doorbell, however, it works seamlessly with Google and Alexa, you can lock with your voice, but you won't be able to unlock with your voice for security reasons, the lock comes with auto lock features it will lock after being open for the prescribe time set even if the door is still opened, so I don't use it, but if you have ring alam system you can set a routine with Alexa to lock your lock when the door sensor is closed, as long as your door is open the lock will not lock automatically, when you enter or leave fully close your door behind you and Alexa will lock your lock within seconds after your door and alarm sensor is closed, you will also get a pop-up notification from your ring system and notification from the schleage home app so you know the door is lock behind you. After all the research overall I think this is one of the best Wi-Fi smart Lock on the market looks great and work well, I will recommend this lock.

Looks fantastic., Easy Install, Easy to use - Their Own App works very well - Automations all work very well with Yonomi (Cant use the Ring integration as Amazon Key isn't in Australia) - Love the autolock after x mins Two things... - A child-Lock option would be a nice feature! The only negative... A little too easy for my young kids to open the door now from the inside... My wife and I get an alert on my phone/watch when the door unlocks, but after COVID will have to add a latch-up high. - A simple is the door closed sensor would be so easy to do with say a magnetic sensor. Really wouldn't be hard at all. (Yes you can add another device to sense if the door closed of not, but as the lock is there, would be a good feature to add)
