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!

The Encode WiFi Deadbolt lock was a great buy for me. It was easy to install the set up on my ring security system was compatible and it works flawlessly. I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a great Deadbolt lock.

We bought this wi-fi deadbolt to replace an August Lock (2nd Gen). We have just updated with a Ring security system. We had decided to replace the August video doorbell with the Ring Doorbell 3 Pro hoping that the latency of the Ring would greatly outperform the August (latency with the August doorbell is horrible). As part of this upgrade, we wanted a wi-fi lock that "works with" the current system. The installation was pretty simple. Some of the parts did quite seem as "sturdy" as parts I had seen for the Yale lock. However, they do appear sufficient and the supplied strike reinforcer definitely makes the security of this lock seem solid. Setup is a breeze for the Schlage app and the Homekit. There's an option to add an Amazon key as well. However, I'm not sure both can be added. I'm currently looking into this. The only real negative to the entire installation was the lack of the inside assembly screws. Having begun the installation a little late in the evening there was nowhere I could go to find the screws needed so, I spent a solid hour searching the whole house for 2 screws that would fit properly. I had briefly checked the packaging before installation but had evidently overlooked these two screws. All in all, it's a great lock. My wife and I really like the look which matches our house style perfectly (modern) and it was an easy installation. Look for an update after we've incorporated it with our new Ring system.

Customers frequently mention the ease of use, installation simplicity, and the well-functioning app as significant advantages. Positive feedback also highlights the security features, Wi-Fi connectivity, and compatibility with smart home systems. The auto-lock and remote access capabilities are also appreciated. However, some users report that the battery life could be improved.
