Kwikset 92640-001 Contemporary Electronic Keypad Single Cylinder Deadbolt with 1-Touch Motorized Locking, Satin Nickel, 8 x 4 x 6

I hate trying to get my house key into the key hole in the dark. (It's a daunting task even for a Jedi Knight.) I decided I needed a different lock for my house, but I didn't want to buy one of those fussy, expensive Bluetooth contraptions where instead of fumbling in the rain for your key you're juggling with your phone to open a special app. That's why I went with this Kwikset electronic deadbolt instead. (I once rented a house with a similar keypad lock It features a full 10-key lighted keypad and you can also open it with a regular key. Kwikset is a leading manufacturer of locking hardware and the quality shows in this product. This lock has an attractive nickle finish and seems plenty sturdy. The instructions were straightforward and simple, making installation a snap. The hardware accommodates both edge-chiseled door mounts and those where a drive-in collar is needed. (I had the most problem getting the old lock out because of that). I've been using it for a week and it works very well.PROS:1. Easy installation. Instructions are easy with clear pictures and a troubleshooting section. Uses 4 AA batteries (not included)2. You don't have to worry about your lock being on the Internet or hooked to your WIFI.3. You can set the door to automatically re-lock after 10 to 99 seconds. (default is 30 seconds if enabled).4. Everything is programmable from the keypad, no need to push little buttons or move jumpers around. (Be sure to change the default programming code!)5. You can add up to 6 permanent user codes and even set up a 1-time-use temporary code. Of course you can selectively delete/change them at any time.CONS:1. You don't have the hassle of an on-line type smart lock, but you don't get the benefits of that either - for example being notified when your lock is used or knowing who accessed it last.UPDATE 04/24/18 - After several months of constant use the lock still works well and no battery change required yet.

I read some mixed reviews on this product that had me nervous about my purchase originally, but I experienced only positive results.I bought this for my parents house. They come and go a lot, and us kids stop by, etc. and I thought it would be a fun gift they would never think to buy but would love. I bought the product and it came 2 days later via Prime. The reviews I read were all pretty positive about the quality of the unit but were VERY mixed when it came to installation and programming. Some left paragraphs on how hard both were and you should set aside 3-hours to complete, and then other reviews were basically "Great! Super easy install." So I had no idea if I would be able to figure this out, I'm not super handy—I'm tech savvy so I figured I could get the programming done easy but the install I wasn't so sure about. But you know what? I'm in the "super easy install" group!—Hardware Installation—I installed this bad boy in roughly 30 minutes (I used a drill to screw and unscrew, so maybe add time if you're doing that by hand) and this wasn't a new door that had now deadbolt hole or anything. I was replacing a traditional deadbolt, basically unscrew everything from the old deadbolt, and then follow the directions to install this one. I knew taking the old one out would be easy, but installing the new one I wasn't so sure about. The directions admittedly weren't the greatest, but if you follow the steps (looking at the pictures as reference) and think about what you're doing it's pretty basic. Again, it took me under 30 minutes to install and I was talking to my parents about something while doing it.—Programming—Now this part was easy to me. At first it's not obvious how it works, but after looking at the directions I realized it's VERY easy to program. Simply follow the steps in the programming guide. It's basically your programming code followed by "kwikset button" followed by the number associated with the task you want to perform, then "kwikset button" to start the task (i.e add an unlock code, change auto-lock time, etc.)—After a few days—My parents love it. They thought it was cool to begin with but after a week of use they find it to be super convenient and useful.The only thing I with it had was a separate button to illuminate the keys at night. If you press 'Kwikset' they turn on for .3 seconds and if you press a random number you have to then press 'Kwikset' to cancel out what your typing to start the actual code. Basically if it's really dark you need to know where the first button is in your unlock code number so it illuminates, then you can see the rest. Otherwise it's great.For the price this product is amazing. Super nice build quality and works as it says.

good combination lock for doors. Easy to install, easy to set up. Remembers the set-up combination when replacing battery.Lock quality: apperas to be good quality lock. one note - it will not lock if its a bit misaligned (as all locks do), so test when installing and make sure to wait until it fully locks. (not unique to this model). Probably can be picked by competent person in 5 minutes as most moderate priced home locks.Installation: fits standart doors, doesn't need extra holes in the door. Just test alignment of the lock before tightening the screws fully.Overall: decent residential lock. Can be picked by leshy in 6 min if competent locksmith does it. But then, any lock can be picked, so not a big deal there.I would reccomend to buy it, if you are looking for electric lock.... and its batery powered, so power loss doesn't prevent you from opening/closing the door.
