Schlage Touch Electronic Deadbolt Lock with Century Trim, Matte Black

I've always had exterior doors with latches that don't lock and used a deadbolt to lock the door as these require action to lock the door whether from inside or outside. This essentially eliminates the possibility of ever being locked out without my keys. So I wanted a combination lock that would never lock automatically. This fit the bill as it requires that the thumbscrew be turned to lock the door whether from inside or outside. I like the fact that this model does not have a manual key lock embedded in its thumbscrew because this means there's no lock to 'pick' and it also makes clear to a visitor/1st-time user what the function of the thumbscrew is - the ones that combine thumbscrew and keylock don't look obviously a thumbscrew. Another advantage of this design that required physical human action to lcok the door is that the absence of a motor to move the deadbolt in/out of the 'lock' position means the battery lasts many times longer. I was a little thrown by the higher price tag compared to some of the competition but two features swung me in the direction of this one: 1. The audible and visible 'low battery' alert 2. In an emergency, the ability to "jump start" the lock by touching terminals of a fresh 9v battery to unobtrusive terminals on exterior keypad 3. The sleek uncluttered, contemporary matt black and chrome design Since the door in which I installed this is thicker than most and is made of steel, not wood, I was not confident that I would be able to install it. But, as it turned out, installation was a breeze. It's only been in place a few hours, long enough for me to change default codes and enter a few personal codes. Seems very simple and easy to use (crucial to keep programming code secure but also readily accessible in case of emergency - this can be a challenge with such things sometimes) I wish I'd installed this many years ago!

I have been a professional locksmith for over 14 years and have used many Schlage products. When they introduced their original keyless entry for residential applications in 2007 I bought one and promptly installed it on my home. It is still running to this day. As soon as this newest design was released from Schlage I purchased on and just received it today. I installed it on my side garage door, which is my most used door. I look forward to seeing how it holds up to the elements. But for now, here is my opinion of the lock: Pros: 1) The lock is easy to install, as long as you have a 2 1/8" standard deadbolt prep this lock will install very easily. 2) The lock has a small knob which the user must use to throw the bolt instead of being driven by a motor. This allows for the user to ensure that the bolt throws correctly. Bolts which use a motor are subject to having the motor burn out if the door becomes misaligned. 3) The terminals on the outside for a 9 volt battery provide an emergency power source, so even if you run your battery dead, you'll still be able to get in. 4) The multiple user codes are nice, so you can give out codes to multiple people such as contractors and delete their codes when they are finished. 5) The interior trim piece leaves a much smaller footprint than the previous model. This looks much nicer. Tucking the wires inside took a second, but it's worth it. Overall I feel it's a great lock and I really don't have any complaints. The older model is also still a great lock, and a little bit cheaper, so if you're on a budget you may want to look at the older style. I'm sure the price will come down on this lock in a few months.

I love this keyless door lock! It is durable, great quality, and so easy to install, it works great and is so easy to use! Even my 6 year old uses it with ease. The best part is I never have to dig through my purse to find my keys. So handy when my arms are full!! I installed this 5 months ago and it still has full battery life. Definitely getting value for the affordable cost.

I have three of these at my home. I haven't been burgled so I can't vouch for the security. But these are far better than the old Kwkset combo locks that came with the house. My research indicated these were superior. The battery lasts forever...years... bc there isn't an actuator motor to eat up battery life. Should the battery die between uses, there's a way to use a 9v battery to power the lock from the outside. It's a very clever design. The combination allows the user to turn the latch themselves. I don't need a battery performing that task for me, just need it to allow me to operate the latch. These are much better looking locks. They feel more solid, more secure, higher quality build. Finally, the default combinations are real, randomized numbers that the user can retain securely, should they desire. This tells me Schlage really cares about the security of customers' homes. They know many folks don't change the factory combination so Schlage does not ship with "1-1-1-1" defaults. Note that NO KEYS ship with these locks, they are keyless. You can't monkey with the cylinders from outside the door. If the battery dies, the only way to gain entry is with a 9v battery with charge, and knowing the combinations. If you forget the combination, there is a way to revert to factory defaults, but you have to know the factory defaults. Or you will need to break into your own house. I've never had an issue. Recommend!

My favorite Schlage keypad! Installs in minutes and it is very easy to change codes. The only thing that annoyed me during installation was how far over the hole in the base plate is to route the power cable from the battery through to the other side...I had to squish it to get the lock to install flush to the door. Our front door has one of these and it often gets rained on...it can definitely withstand getting wet! Also, it does not show fingerprints. We have a lot of pollen and dust outside that covers our midnight blue door, and I was afraid the black background would make fingerprints stand out. No sign of fingerprints! I bought the Century style because I didn't want to replace all my other door hardware to match the shape. We have Quickset locks on the house in Satin Nickel, and the shape of the Century series is simple enough to complement the existing hardware (and the color matches!). What I enjoy most is walking the dogs or carrying a bunch of stuff into the house without fumbling for keys. And no more locking myself in the garage by accident! I have another door with the Schlage keypad deadbolt (with keyed and keypad access). If you need the peace of mind that comes with having a key...get that one. That being said, this one has terminals on the front to "jump start" power to the lock if you need it and the installed battery dies. I tested this when I installed the lock to make sure it would work, and it did! I keep a spare battery hidden outside my house just in case. Highly recommended for rental properties and vacation homes! SAFETY TIPS: - Consider installing these on doors to patios on the second floor (or higher) that can lock from the inside...helps prevent someone getting accidentally trapped on a balcony or rooftop terrace (especially in the summer or winter). - Great for senior citizens (or others) who forget their keys. And, if they don't remember the code to get back into their home, they can call someone (friend, family member, caretaker, etc.) who has the code.

I did not like the idea of having only one of two bolts locked, as Schlage & other manufacturers seem to be normalizing in their keyless lock marketing. Thanks to another reviewer's photo with a tape measure, I determined this style could fit both the deadbolt & the handle keypads with my existing door hole positions already plenty far apart. I had forgotten my deadbolt hole was the old smaller size, though. Because I was stacking these straight-edged keypads, I had to be very careful to align (with paper shims) my new hole jig to cut the new larger hole exactly in line with the lower handle hole -so the keypads' left & right edges would not only line up to each other, but also be parallel to the door's vertical stile edge that is near the right keypad edges. On my old door, that stile edge & the door edge are very close to plumb, but not quite, so I used the visible stile edge as the main reference to be sure the two keypads would look correct on the door. I watched for like-new open-box deals to be able to afford the two keypads. Not finding my favorite style in the same color, I was glad to confirm my hunch that the "rubbed bronze" is a perfect match with "matte black," save for the minor "rubbed" coppery hints only on the sharp edges. Stacked, you are looking down from above & it would be hard to notice the lower handle assembly did not have any dark copper hints at the edges like the deadbolt assembly. Even so, I used a sharpie marker over the "rubbed" bits & now have a great visual match. With the curvier styles or with the lower handle being the bronzed part, it might be a little trickier to de-bronze all the edges, but the rectangular deadbolt was pretty simple & looked very close & compatible with the neighboring "matte black" anyway. In the past, I've had "oil rubbed bronze" schlage hardware that would get chalky, splotchy & sometimes badly discolored from cleaners, hand sanitizer, etc. So, I'm glad to find the metal case of this deadbolt has a finish that seems likely to be more durable. It is fairly matte, but not made to absorb an actual oil finish, nor absorb things that would harm the finish. I like the jumper-battery solution to eliminate key hassle & picking risk & I tested to confirm it works. I also love the ease of locking this deadbolt as you leave - via single tap & traditional twist. (We keep the lower handle in the always-locked position.) The convenience & safety of the interior latches on both locks are great, too. I very much appreciate the lack of a motorized bolt, as that is sure to fail with misalignment or even a bit of friction at some point - possibly in a way you would not realize. It feels much safer & sustainable to flip the bolt & feel it either engage all the way or hit the plate if the door has not been pulled all the way closed. It is also less bulky than motorized bolts. I was worried that entering two 4-digit codes to get in would be tedious, but it is an easier & faster one-handed operation than using a metal key, when you get used to it. For both devices, the wire routing & battery placement are frustrating. The wires are too short to fit one way & too long to avoid sharp crimping and cramming the other way. The battery doesn't have a secure compartment, just a vague sort of general area, so it shifts as you try to slide the cover over it & the wedged-in wires. I also hate that they used a fairly flimsy/brittle feeling plastic for the majority of the interior-side case - right where you hands will rub when flipping the latch. That wear & necessary cleaning seem sure to eventually mar the texture & structural integrity. Add to that, the cheap-toy fitment where it slides & sort of latches in place, & I think it will prove to be the weak point of the assembly. On the exterior, it sort of looks like the edges of the flat keypads might not be weather sealed to the metal case, but I think they are more internally sealed..? Through days of a horizontal firehose weather "event," they work great. That said, the outer case houses the keypad & lock-engaging electronics, & it has necessary holes for wires, etc. that sit against the door face. The door-to-housing faces are not going to be perfectly flush in most cases, so an extra-exposed door in a very wet environment could warrant adding a thin bit of caulk to seal to the door at the top & side edges. (Maybe leave the bottom to allow some escape of condensation?) Even with the flaws, others have much worse issues, & I think this is the best looking & best functioning style of home keypad door locks. I am very glad I decided to stack the two keypads, ditch the keys, & keep the same dual-level security as a traditional setup with locking handle plus deadbolt.

Before you buy this lock, do a web search on "schlage lock slips video." That will show you the internal flaw that will cause the lifespan of this lock to be shorter than you might expect. Below is my experience. If I wrote a review when I first put this lock in, I would give it 5 stars. But after about 2 years the lock started to "slip." That is, I would put in the code and then turn the knob to unlock the door, only to find that it spun freely, like it was not catching properly. I contacted Schlage several times and after many weeks they finally replied. They gave a list of things they needed and one of them was a photo of the bar code located inside the lock. That was a pain, as it meant taking the lock off the door and then putting it back on. Schlage did send me replacement lock. It lasted about 2 years and then failed the same way. This time, however, they would not replace it. I did a web search on "Schlage lock slips" and found several YouTube videos showing the cause of the problem... a bad internal design. The whole system depends on a lightweight spring inside. Once that spring loosens up, the lock starts to fail. Using those videos I was able to get my lock working again, but I could tell this was temporary. The design is bad. I just bought a new Kwikset SmartCode 270 lock and threw this Schlage away. I would not buy this Schlage lock.

I wanted a lock on the back door that could be accessed by guests and staff but didn’t need to be wifi connected. I also wanted a lock that would not eat up batteries constantly. This deadbolt lock fit the bill perfectly. I already use a Schlage keypad door handle unit on the front door and that one has been great for 2 years ( I have not changed the battery but I probably should soon) the deadbolt was an easy direct replacement for the existing keyed deadbolt. Installation took about 5 minutes and it seems solid and looks like it’s always been there. Keep in mind this lock does not move the bolt sonos essentially a manual deadbolt. The keypad only engages the latch to move the deadbolt once a correct code is entered. This is why the battery life is so good in these units. To lock the deadbolt, you need to press the Schlage button on the keypad when the bolt is unlocked, then you lock the deadbolt by turning the outside latch. From inside it functions identically to a standard deadbolt. I don’t mind this as it means there’s less of a chance of a lock out, but if you need the ability to lock it remotely, this won’t be the lock you need.

J’ai commandé deux verrous Schlage pour sécuriser un cabanon sans accès Wi-Fi, et c’est exactement ce qu’il me fallait. Pas besoin de connexion, ce qui le rend idéal pour les installations extérieures ou isolées. L’un des deux ne fonctionnait pas à la réception, mais Amazon a procédé à l’échange rapidement et sans tracas — excellent service. Le produit est solide, facile à installer, et fonctionne très bien même par temps froid. La marque inspire confiance, et je la recommande sans hésiter pour les conditions hivernales rigoureuses du Canada. Très satisfait de mon achat !

Muy buena

Funciona tal cual está promocionada.

no lo he instalado aun pero se ve de muy buena calidad y como siempre la entrega de Amazon muy puntual

Muy bien, llego rápido y buen producto tiene opción de vacaciones donde solo abrirá con código por fuera. Quizás le vendría bien una alarma audible intento de código falso o golpe.
