KwiksetSmartCode 260 Keyless Entry Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Door Lock with Auto-Lock, Custom User Codes, Advanced Security in Satin Nickel Contemporary

Overall, a real value for the buck. Easy to install. I did three. It took 15-20 minutes for the first one—mostly reading instructions and watching KwickSet's Iinstall video over coffee—and around 5 minutes for the others. Good looking, at once updating my 1920s bungalow while blending into the vintage esthetic. Smooth operation. And secure.Five stars, but I'm tempted to shave-off a star for poor instructions regarding re-handing a lock. See below for details.Re: security. Most equivalently-priced deadbolts at my hardware and big-box stores were less secure, rated as ANSI level. These Kwickset SmartCode 260 locks are locksmith-worthy ANSI level 2 locks. Finding Level 2 locks in the big-box was a bit of a joke, though, since no worker had a clue. Though I found a Schlange whose packaging declared "Level 2" for $200. My local hardware store was more helpful and had a similar level 2... but on sale for $130 ($170 regular price).* INSTALL NOTE. Watch Kwickset's YouTube install video. It takes but a minute since the written instructions were tough to follow with printing too small for my late-50's eyes.HOWEVER... There is no description of re-handing the lock if you need to, be try not to power-up the lock before it is installed since it automatically determines hand. And changing hands it NOT discussed.I learned this the hard way with my third and final install. The last lock was the one I'd been messing around with as I followed the install video, resetting entry codes, etc. with batteries in. I installed it physically without a hitch, but it was electronically wrong-handed, meaning that hitting "lock" unlocked it.Since the other two I'd installed earlier handed themselves automatically, I was at a loss. Since re-handing was not covered in the manual or videos for this model, I thought I had a defective unit. I called, but Kwikset was closed for Thanksgiving.Not one to give up I installed and re-installed it four times, following along with the YouTube install video for the final two. The result was always the same.So my initial five-minute install grew to over 90 minutes.Frustrating!And then, after giving up and re-installing the old deadbolt, I noticed "reset" and "change hand" codes in fine print, hidden in a chart showing "How To Program The Lock" while eating dinner. So after dishes, I took out the old manual bolt... AGAIN!... reinstalled the final electronic deadbolt... FOR THE FIFTH TIME!... and entered the "factory reset" code.And Finally, the thing worked, automatically handing itself when I entered the set-up sequence.A lot of frustration could have been avoided if handing had been covered since I know I'm not the only person this is going to happen to.Still, since this was my fault, I'm not taking off on the review since I'm well aware that I'm a sort of "Ready.... Fire.... Aim" sort of guy.

Easy to install looks good and works fine. Love that it is able to be keyed to match other doors in the house. Keypad was easy to program.

I got this as a damaged box return and it worked great as a keyless entry! It installed quickly and functions great. Easy to program and use immediately. I prefer the electronic but we are trying buttons this go round to see if they last longer.

Built well. Easy to install and use, the mechanism is too noisy. Got it for late night access and it would wake me up. Had to return.

Easy installation and programming. Occasionally will not want to lock/unlock but that is due to humidity making the wood frame swell not an issue with the lock itself. I did not want a lock that connected to the Internet but still wanted the “smart” lock of not having to haggle with keys all the time. But I still have the keyed option in case the battery dies or I need it. And I was able to replace all my door locks and update to a single key which was great not having three keys or going to a locksmith.

These are my go-to. The nice feature about the manual locking feature is that you extend the battery life.These don't fail, we just had to replace our old ones because it had the raised rubber pad and our goat ate it. Yep, they're tasty too.

Do no waste your money. This is the 2nd keypad I ordered and it lasted about 2 months before it no longer allowed me to add or change user codes. The return window has closed so I'm out of luck on a refund. Extremely disappointing. This will be my last Kwikset purchase.

Quick install & added a sleek bottom handle.
