This is a pretty decent combination lock. Installation wasn't too bad. (I've had worse) I only wish that all of the lights lit up once you push one button. I have a dusk to dawn porch light so its not as bad...but if it is really dark it will be difficult to see the keys to push in your combination. Read the direction closely especially how to tuck you battery power wire into its channel clasp. If you have an outside screen door, you might run into the keypad housing interfering with the screen door latch handle. All in all the quality and the value are decent...It works for me!!

I've waited a few months before rating this, to make sure I gave it time to see how well it works, and I am really happy with it. It was easy to install and looks seamless, and it's very easy to use. The one worry I have is about the battery--if it dies then it can't be used without the key. I'd love for there to be some kind of battery level indicator or warning several weeks before it's going to die, so I don't get stuck. But other than that it's great and I'd definitely recommend it. I might get one for another exterior door as well.

We love our new lock handle! Our door is older and we needed to get a Schlage 4" doorset extender part, but once we got that, it was a very simple install. Just a screwdriver and a spare set of hands and voila! Easy to set and program the door code. Just be aware - it automatically locks the outside entrance to the door. There's nothing stopping an adventurous toddler from the inside, from deciding to open the doorknob and think about exploring the world. Thankfully our storm door has a lock he can't undo.

I just installed this today, so I can't speak for battery life or longevity as of yet. I did use the included battery, which is just a regular 9V Duracell, so when that needs replacing I'll install a lithium one instead. The install was quite straight-forward and, aside from a few extra steps, was not really any more difficult than installing a standard door knob. Instructions were simple, though a few of the pictures left me momentarily confused. The lock is easy to program and use and all the features worked as expected. The programmable codes are limited to four digits, which was not an issue for me. It seems pretty well constructed. This door knob was installed on our garage door to stop my dad, who has fairly advanced dementia, from sneaking out of the house. Since people need to be able to use that door from either side, using something like a door guardian lock would not have worked. I installed the door knob backwards, so the keypad is on the inside of the house and it will keep him from entering the garage unsupervised. This method wouldn't work on an exterior door (it only locks on one side), but works fantastic for keeping him out of the garage while still making it easy to bring groceries and such into the house. The auto lock is timed just right and seems to work well. I had no issues disabling the lock while testing everything either. I'd definitely recommend this if you're trying to keep someone with dementia from passing through an interior door.

I purchased this because we've had some crime in our neighborhood and I can no longer leave a door unlocked for my kids who arrive home before I do. It was easy to install and program, and we liked it a lot for three weeks. But the battery has died already and if I hadn't noticed this, my kids would have been locked out of the house until I got home from work. We live in a northern state and if it had been winter, this could have been disastrous. I now have a key hidden outside the house, but what is the purpose of a combination lock if you - even sometimes - need a key to open it? It may have been wiser to spend less on a plain old keyed entry knob. I would pass on this.

I really liked this lock for the past four years... until I found that it is now failing in a way that leaves the door unlocked! There is an actuator inside the lock that engages the inner lever to open the door when the correct pin is entered. Normally after a few seconds the actuator retracts and the door becomes locked again. You can hear the click when this happens. Surprise! Now after a few seconds the actuator retracts... just not all the way which leaves the inner lever engaged and the door open. If you play with the outer lever you can hear a second, fainter click as the actuator fully retracts and then the door locks again. But if you are not paying attention the lock stays open forever! That's not what an automatic lock should do, and is a huge security hole for my building. EDIT: How to fix your lock in 10 minutes or less! The root problem is that the linear actuator pushes on a pin to engage the level, and the pin has a lubricant that turns to gum after a few years. Disassemble the lock and spray the pin with WD-40 to dissolve the gum and free the pin. Good as new! Now you don't have to buy another lock to replace the one that is still 99% working. Hints: You need a star key driver to take apart the lock. Carefully pull the top plate off the lock to see how the parts inside are situated. In particular there is a free plastic piece that sits on top of the linear actuator's spring and pushes against the pin. There is no need to compress the spring upon reassembly - the plastic piece has a catch that fits into the spring coils. Just set the plastic bit on top of the spring so that it just touches the top of the pin (this is the normal locked position). Be careful not to lose the very thin, tiny spring that pushes the pin out of the shaft. Without this spring the lock will stay open forever after the pin is engaged.

I very rarely give out 5 stars. Something has to be jaw dropping perfect to get 5. This lock is a very solid 4-4.5. I have no idea how easy the key lock part is to pick, but the lock as a whole seems well made. I have them on my home and I just installed them on my mother's house. It makes it easier for her to get in without fumbling for keys. It also allows her emergency contacts (police, ambulance, ...) to enter the house to check up on her. The lock installed easily in a door that had already had a lock in it. The programming is a tad difficult. Too much for my 90 year old mother, but easily enough with the instructions in front of you. The level door knob is also very nice for the elderly. Much easier to open then a round knob for stiff hands. The only negative I have with the lock is the battery location. You have to remove the inside part of the lock to gain access. There is no simple cavity with a door. The batteries are inside the lock and hence you need to take the thing apart. Now to Schlage's credit, they did provide a mechanism to hold the outside part of the lock in place while you take off the inside, but still. I think they need to sharpen their pencil and come up with a better solution.

My teen forgot her keys one time but was left outside in the cold for about 2 hours. Although I dont think she will forget her keys again, I wanted to make sure something like that wouldnt happen again. I chose this product because it looked nice and because Ive had locks from the brand before. The install directions were very straight forward and took about 30 minutes. It fit in our existing knob hole. Our bolt lock is much higher so we didnt have to worry about them being too close. The knob can be set to automatically lock when the door closes. The inside knob can still move up and down even when locked. I can see why this wouldnt be a good idea if there are little kids in the house. This isnt an issue for us and are happy with the product.

This is my second Schlage keypad lock, and I really like the convenience of them. I have both of mine paired with a keyed deadbolt, so they aren't my primary security measure, but I feel like they could be because they both feel very solidly made. Installation is very easy, at least if you're doors already have a handle installed (like mine did) so that the holes are already drilled. Swapping out the old handle and putting this in was pretty quick work. I had to reverse the handles, but that took about a minute, and the instructions show you exactly how to do it. The instructions also make it very easy to program in your own code(s) to open the door, and let you customize some things (like turning off the beeping noise when you push a button). The one thing that I've run into twice is having the bolt line up with the strike plate. My older locks are Kwikset, and it's probably just how the bolt holes and plates were installed years ago, but both Schlage units were every so slightly off. On this second one, I reinstalled the older Kwikset strike plate, and it worked great. So, maybe just try your old strike plate first before you take it off to install the one that comes with this unit. The handles are nice and smooth, and they swivel nicely without hanging up. They just have a great quality feel to them. Some tips - (1) pushing the "Schlage" button at the top center will light up the buttons for you, which is nice at night, and (2) pushing that same button will also reset entry of the code (so if you accidentally hit the wrong number midway through, you don't have to wait for it to reject the entry and start again...you just hit the Schlage button and then start again). My only regret is waiting so long to get a second one. Well worth the $100 it cost me.

My kids kept going into my room for bathroom or to watch TV etc. NOT ANYMORE!! I looked all over to find something that would keep the door locked but, not stop me from entering my room. You will always run into a situation that you're not going to have your keys or phone on you. This was the absolute perfect solution. PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE: A single use key code! It would be super handy when I'm running late and would like someone without the normal key code to enter. Emergencies etc I had one issue upon receiving the unit as there's a pin that can get dislodged internally. The repair was super quick if it's even necessary. Pretty sure I found the repair instructions on "YT"

This is my second batch of these locks. We use these to provide access to our home for workers and visitors without giving them a key. They're easy to install, look okay - though bulkier than most conventional locks - and seem to be secure. If you have an existing lockset on your door, installation is easy and can be accomplished in under half an hour with nothing more than a screwdriver. During installation, I recommend a small bead of silicone sealant where the outdoor handle meets your door. We had our home power-washed, and it seemed that water was able to infiltrate into the lock and short out the electronics, destroying the unit. I also recommend investing in 9V Lithium batteries. Not only do they last much longer (our first set lasted almost 3 years), they also perform better in the cold. Once installed, the unit is easy to program and to operate, even for younger children. You can have multiple access codes, making it easy to revoke, say, the one workers use without disrupting the code your family uses. Note that there's no network access or logging with this unit, so you're not going to be monitoring who comes and goes using your iPad (though Schlage makes others with this feature). Overall, this is a high quality lock that's worth a look.
