Schlage - Encode Wi-Fi Touch Screen Deadbolt - Matte Black

I was happy with the installation but wish old bolt latch would have work, swapped it out and put in new one that came with lock. Made ajustments so it would slide with no friction on strike plate, smooth as butter now so hope batteries last. Easy to use but Wish they had a brass finish and also auto unlock via bluetooth feature when approaching lock. That's why only four stars. The button below the lock is just my door bell. Hope they can add the auto unlock with firmware upgrade then would it be awesome!

i have only had the lock for a week. It's been great so far. I recommend it for the following reasons: - very easy to install. I have to admit that when I opened the package and I saw all these parts and screws and bolts I got panicked. I said to myself how is this easy to install? No way! I got the instructions book and I followed step by step and before I knew it, it was perfectly installed. I feel I am an expert now, so easy! - the lock works like a charm. It notifies me who gets in and out using their code, and I have it on autolocking after 15seconds everytime, so I don't even have to lock after I close the door. - the app is so helpful, I have full control, I can lock and unlock from the app! Sweet! Now, the next time the cleaner comes while I am on vacation and says: I came and cleaned today, I will know exactly if she came and how many hours did she stay! I highly recommend it. I could not decide on a lock for months, but I am glad I finally decided.

I just upgraded my Z-Wave devices to the Encode Wifi units. What a difference in reliability and experience they make! I get real-time open/close alerts and the status and battery information are accurate all the time. Battery life is great, even the install was easier than the Zwave units. Firmware updates over wifi, what more can you ask for?

Very high quality, not cheap plastic like some of the WiFi locks. Very easy to set up as well

Replaced the old lock with this unit, love the ease of access via the app and easy set up without additional hubs to connect to wifi

I am very upset about wasting $200 and do not understand the positive reviews at all. In theory, the lock is easy to install. The instructions are easy to follow. However, my lock did not work out of the box. I have installed several keyless locks so I know the routine. I tried resetting to factory settings, but it wouldn't even do that. Called Schlage for help and was on hold for about 40 minutes before talking to someone. Finally was able to get the lock installed with the help of customer service, but they still could not get the lock to work on the WiFi. It is not a signal problem. Because I had gone through so much time and money and effort to get it installed, I decided I would just keep it and not deal with the WiFi issue. However, to my horror, when I read the instructions to program the codes, I read that if you use the Schlage App, it overrides the ability to use PIN codes on the lock. So, you have to choose between using the keypad and using the app to unlock your door? Who on Earth would agree to that!? So, if I forget my phone or the battery died, the lock is useless. And, you have to force everyone who has access to your house, like your dog walker, to download the app. Neither Best Buy nor Schlage mention this severe limitation anywhere in the product description. This fact is only mentioned in a sentence at the very back of the installation process. So, not in the front of the guide, whereby allowing me to decide if I even wanted to install the product at all. So, between not being able to get the lock to work on the Wifi, despite on the phone at length with Schlage, and being forced to choose between the app and the keypad, I decided to return the lock. I take the whole thing apart again, pack it up and return it to Best Buy. As if my entire experience wasn't bad enough and a Saturday afternoon wasted trying to get the lock to work, Best Buy tells me that it is past the return policy period and because I had opened the product, (well, of course I did), the could do NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING for me. Not even store credit. So, $200 later and I no new lock, wasted exorbitant amounts of time on this product and walked away with nothing. I am totally disgusted. I hope others heed my warning and realize that a product with a severe limitation that forces you to choose between the keypad and the app is not acceptable.

Its a must buy i wish i would have purchased this device years ago

Out of the box it works well. Still haven’t figured out how to change and set temporary passwords. Not exactly user friendly.
