Schlage Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock, Camelot Trim, Aged Bronze | Keyless entry door lock, Push button keypad deadbolt, Key backup included, Certified security, Easy install, BE365

I am terrible with keys. This lock has been a lifesaver. If you are just replacing an existing deadbolt, it's a pretty straight forward install. It's never locked me out when I've had the right code and I like that I can assign different codes to different people so if I ever change pet sitters I can delete the code for that person and create a new one for the new pet sitter. It's great, very secure, and I don't worry about locking myself out of the house all the time any more.

Wonderful purchase. Installation was easy (the most time-consuming part was having to chisel out extra space for the plate, and I wound up not being able to use the decorative plate to cover it, the previous homeowners having really jacked up the door jamb when installing the previous deadbolt). It took me 20 minutes for the normal installation stuff for which the manufacturer is responsible (an additional 40 minutes to deal with the usual quirks involved with improving a 160-year-old home), and I'm only a moderately handy woman (though I have installed a number of locks before, so this was nothing new for me). My only criticism is for the instructions: format/order on the page wasn't fantastic, and the pictures were okay but a little difficult to make out in a couple of the steps, but the real problem was the size of the pilot hole they told me to drill. Way too small for the screws for the security plate, and I should have known better than to believe it: my eyes told me it wouldn't work, not with the hard wood I was drilling into, and it caused me some difficulty and resulting screw strippage because of my own carelessness. But that was my fault for not using common sense. Now installed, the mechanism works incredibly well. Easy glide when the deadbolt turns, and I love that I have to turn the deadbolt manually instead of the battery operated mechanism having to do it; to me, the additional mechanization just means that things will wear out faster and the batteries will have to be replaced more quickly. I have frequent guests (operate a small bed/breakfast operation in my home for overflow guests at the local college) and I bought the lock to make entry easier for THEM. But I have been the real beneficiary because it makes every entry and exit so easy for me. Highly recommend. I wish I had done this years ago. I haven't tried this yet, but someone just suggested to me that I key the door for the last 4-digits of guests' phone numbers so that they can easily remember the code, and I can then delete as soon as they're gone. I think this is a brilliant idea.

We bought two units to install in our house after having some renovation work done and leaving a key under the mat for long stretches of time. This was not an ideal situation, and we came home one night to find that the key had been used by someone to enter the house and unlock one of the windows, presumably to come back at night to burglarize the house. Installation into doors with existing, standard size holes was incredibly easy. All parts are labeled to ensure the correct orientation, and the directions are clear. After removing the old deadbolt, the new Schlage latch unit slides right in. The keypad unit then slides in and stays in place due to the bracket that fits in the hole. The rear plate is held on by two bolts that screw in easily through the latch mechanism and into the keypad unit. Finally, the rear cover goes over the rear plate with two small machine screws. The required nine volt battery was not included. Programming was easy, with two pre-programmed unlock codes that can be easily wiped away and replaced by your custom codes. Once programmed, the deadbolt locks and unlocks very easily. We love the convenience of not needing to dig out a key to get in. We can program an entry code in for a worker, then delete it when no longer needed. There is also a vacation mode that disables the codes, requiring use of the key to enter. You can also change the master programming code, which is helpful if you do not buy a 2-unit set (it was cheaper to buy two individual units than to buy the 2-pack). We just changed the master code on both to a number we could remember and re-keyed the cylinder, since we had to re-key all the other locks in the house. Aesthetically, it is a nice looking, solidly built unit. The rear housing is somewhat large, but it has to house the nine volt battery and some of the electronics and mechanisms. Overall, a good buy, even at 3x the price of a traditional Schlage deadbolt.

Overall, this is a solid product. My one gripe is that I wish it supported something other than four digit codes -- that would make it significantly more secure. Beyond that, it's nice looking, easy to install, and works as advertised.

This is a high quality lock set. Easy to program and easy to use. Looks really nice with a Saturday build. I really like this style because actuating the lock is done manually, which to me feels more reliable. And, there's a key in case the battery dies or the keypad doesn't work for some reason. Overall, a really simple, solid design.

This Schlage electronic keypad deadbolt has a trusted design that has been around for a number of years. We had our old nickel one for about five years and it has been very reliable. That one moved from the front door to the garage side door and we now have a Smartkey lock with remote key fob on the front entry to the house. When it came to installing a lock for our studio door we went back to the Schlage because of its price and reliability. The new lock has had some minor improvements from the original we bought a few years ago. These revisions make installation easier with simple inexpensive additions to the original internal design. As I had mentioned, installation is easy. The lock comes with two bolt length options. The most significant change to our old lock was the wire that feeds from the front keypad to the rear panel. With the old lock you had a thin wire with a TINY cap that pressed onto a pin on a circuit board on the back. It was incredibly fiddly when you consider that the sprung fastened cap was only about 0.08 inches or 2mm in diameter. In this new lock, it was a simple plastic plug that you just press in and it snaps into place. Sounds trivial but it removed minutes of frustration. After the basic assembly as shown in the first video on the amazon page, you just plug in the included 9 volt battery and follow simple instructions in the manual to program your lock. One nice thing I really like about this lock is that the deadbolt uses a clutch to engage the handle. You use the keypad to engage the clutch that lets the deadbolt work. After a few seconds the clutch is automatically disengaged and the latch spins freely. This makes it fairly tamper proof. In some ways it’s safer than our remote lock because there is less chance of someone trying to hack the lock remotely with some kind of wifi connection. We had our previous one for about five years and still use it on a daily basis. So I can tell you this lock is dependable. If you change the battery once a year you will probably never have to worry about it going flat. So far, I have replaced the battery on the old one every 12 to 18 months regardless of capacity and have used the old one for various electronic devices. These locks can also be opened with a regular key. Two are provided. We keep ours safe in a location where we can retrieve one in an emergency. Originally we bought this lock after a key broke in our old fashioned one. We had to call out a locksmith who spent three hours trying to drill out the old lock. It made a lot of noise, caused us (and our neighbors) a lot of frustration and then (to add insult to injury) cost us almost $300. That’s the price of three of these locks. So we bought this lock and we are so glad we did. It makes life so much easier not having to carry keys around. The keypad is illuminated and easy to use in the dark. You never have to fumble looking for keys. It’s a great addition to our garage and studio because of the number of times you go to the garage on some chore only to find the keys are back at the house. With the studio which is on a wing of the house we used to leave it unlocked because the frustration of going back and forth for keys seemed like a lot of hassle. We really like these locks. You can have several codes. Each member of our family has their own pin. We gave our sister in law one so they could crash even if we aren’t home. And we can create one on a whim should we have contractors or pet sitters visiting when we are away. When they first came out they were about 50% more expensive but they’re affordable now and I can’t recommend them enough. The only problem you might have with this lock is if you pull to close it really helps to have a second handle to grip and hold the door shut while you turn the handle. The twist knob on the deadbolt is not the easiest to grip and pull strongly, especially while twisting at the same time. For the garage and studio door we bought a cheap dummy knob to hold onto for this reason. That does the trick quit nicely.

It's seriously so easy to install, that you'll be better off putting less thought into it than more. The only annoying part was after it was installed, reading the instructions on how to set up a code. The preset code--which you'll want to delete after setting up your own--is on a yellow sticker at the top-left of the instruction page. As obvious as they tried to make it, I couldn't find it anywhere. Anyway, once I saw the code, setting up a new one was super easy. I really like that the motor unlocks it only, so you don't waste battery locking it--just press the Schlage button and turn the knob.

Update: After 6-8 months of use, it stopped working. Now after entering a code, the deadbolt no longer engages with the knob, so it will not lock or unlock the door any longer. The key continues to work fine, but not the reason anyone would purchase this lock. The lock seems very good, but I have only had it one day. I was able to install it fairly easily, although as an amature with an ill-fitting door, it took over 2 hours (mostly the door's fault). With a perfect door alignment, it may have been 30-45 minutes. Pros: 1) Battery is on the inside and in AZ heat, that's a plus. 2) The lock cylinder operates by physically turning it, so you don't rely on a motor to move it. This is a big plus if your door doesn't fit perfectly. You can muscle it some. 3) It looks great. 4) The physical key back up is perfect. 5). The first one I received had a few issues and appeared to have been returned once. After installing the replacement, I realized it may have been user error, but the instructions for operation were non-existent. Amazon replaced it simply with no hassle. Cons: 1) Mine had no instructions how to operate the lock, only install it. I had to watch a YouTube video to figure it out. I would buy it again and recommend it to others.

Buen articulo y facil de instalar

this is my 2nd one, i have one on my back and front doors. it really is the best of both worlds (digital and analog) and is perfect also for Canadian winters! if you're looking for a fully digital 'smart lock' connected to your mobile and the internet, this is NOT for you. with this lock, you enter the number code of your choice, and it 'engages' the lock mechanism so that you can unlock it manually. IF that fails or the battery dies, you can still use a physical key. the main point is that the electronic mechanism doesnt unlock the door for you, it just disengages the locking mechanism so that you can manually, physically, unlock it yourself. so it doesnt jam up or freeze up in the winter or lose power and you dont need the internet or a working wifi signal for it to work. there is a 9V battery but since the electrical mechanism isnt actually unlocking the latch, its not likely to die for quite some time, and when it does, you can still use the physical key.

Works well, looks good. Be careful your existing hole may have to be bored out slightly bigger. The number pad unit has 2 small wedges at the end of it so when placed in hole and pushed against the door it does not sit 100% flat on door so it leaves a gap of about 1/8. What I did was I placed a black 1/8 thick rubber pad between the key pad unit and the door. I cut out the 2 1/8 hole on the pad, placed it on the key pad unit , traced the pad to the key pad unit, cut it to shape size and then installed it. I then pushed the key pad unit with rubber pad against the door giving it a perfect snug fit filling the gap without oversizing the existing hole. Then I placed the indoor unit with the two screws compressing the two units together with the pad for a very snug fit. Works great and looks great. If it fit perfect from the start I would of rated it a 5 star.

Fonctionne parfaitement!! J’adore

These locks are excellent!! I have several of them and they are extremely reliable. In fact - have never had a problem with any of them. The key feature is that the actual dead bolt movement is actuated manually rather than relying on a motor. Other brands that I have tried require a motor to actually move the dead bolt and they go through batteries too quickly and are unreliable in seasonal climates where the dead bolt sometimes requires more force to open. The Schlage system is simple, reliable, and efficient. Batteries will last 2 or more years and there is a simple low battery warning system that provides plenty of time to change batteries when it's convenient. Finally, the door handle version has an additional excellent feature that allows it to be set to lock every time the door is closed. This works extremely well for outbuildings etc.
