To avoid that all our men are in the workshop without the key, I use our door in order to access our offices. Strangers will not wonder about our workshop. It is simple and works.
It worked as expected. It is a perfect addition to my bedroom. I am very satisfied with the purchase. It is super easy to install. It is easy to put fingerprints, and codes inside.
I installed this on my own and it was so easy. I usually leave this stuff to the man of the house, but it was so easy. I am so happy that you did not have to use a key when I was feeling full.

The review comes from a person who has two August smart locks. It is difficult to reach because the fingerprint scanner is sensitive. You should have your finger in the same position. For my left thumb, I added four profiles to the app to avoid this problem. There is no base so you cannot connect from home.
I recently purchased this device to replace a bedroom doorknob. I want a reliable, fingerprint proof doorknob that I could remotely unlock. I also have to purchase the Keyless Entry Wi-Fi Bridge, to enable it to work remotely. I have not had any downtime issues with the app for this doorknob. It is difficult for a doorknob to read your fingerprint when your hands are cold or moist. It is not a useful function to provide a fingerprint if you just got out of the shower or finished washing your dishes. I have to take my mobile phone with me in the event I have to unlock it using the app. As for the final item, there are two additional keys included and they also work well to unlock the door.
You will see where I had problems installing. You cannot test the lock until you have installed the app and are functioning fully. I had to take the doorknob apart numerous times because it did not seem to control the mechanism from the front door handle. Because the app is locked unless you set it up. If you install the trustee instructions and run the app, you will understand what I mean. I found it to be very difficult to install, due to the difficulties with screwing the screws in. The screws that I used to attach the front and back plate were not long enough, so I had to buy new screws. I am very pleased with the gateway I bought and I now can control the gateway through Alexa. I will update this review if anything fails. Once it is installed and running, it is great. The device seems to have good quality and is simple to use. The mechanical key has excellent quality and functions well. I love that it takes batteries, so it is easy to charge. By the way, I have tried other door knobs before this one and return them both. I love this one so far.
It took me approximately five to ten minutes to install. This is very simple if you have ever changed any type of door handle. However, follow instructions. I didn't and missed one important thing. Follow the arrows on the square bar inside the lock. The lock has to engage in a particular direction. It's me, and not the product. The handle feels solid, and the handle works perfectly for most people. My father was unable to erect a lock because his fingers tended to get stuck together. I'm not sure the reason is. This is a great tip, program multiple sets of fingers for the same person to ensure that there are no errors when opening the doors when you need to. The app is simple to use. You will not need a battery, however, you will need 4-AA batteries.

The lower cost numerical deadbolt had given up and had been replaced. The time had come to replace it, and I decided to go for a biometric device after looking at the selection that had expanded. I was curious if the extra money was worth it. The product arrived at the end of the following day surprisingly fast. I opened the case, and I was immediately impressed with the quality. I am a devoted DIY fanatic and am used to seeing things that do not fit together, do not provide instructions or are inexpensively made. This is not that. The compact packaging had a thick, custom made feel, with all parts cradled nicely. It even comes with a shorty Phillips head screwdriver and a quality one at that with a plastic handle embedded with grippy rubber. They are heavier than you would expect and appear to be engineered with materials that are higher quality. The instructions are simple and straightforward with both visual and written instructions, which I prefer. It is painful to place screws through a deadbolt as the tips wander around in search of threaded holes. This set went together more quickly than any I have seen. The rubber gaskets are a good addition. Once tightened the internal and external locking parts felt very snug and never wiggled despite my best attempts. The latch held the door securely and acted smoothly while closing the door. I had to programme, because I wanted to store several dozen of my fingerprints from different angles to be able to perform more efficiently. The lock exceeded my expectations and was worth the money spent. I don't know of other biometric locks. I could think that when leaving the house, the lock should close quicker. Touch the digit digital panel with your palm or your backhand. It closes after a few seconds. My old lock would close quickly but it still sounded like it had successfully locked. It takes some time. I am looking at the door and fighting the impulse to turn around and walk away. There is another great lockset, which will make most satisfied.
Great product, easy to install, easy to add finger prints, and automatic lock feature. I'll definitely purchase this product. My 8 year old is able to use this door knob with no difficulty. He needs only one finger to open the knob and the back of his hand to lock the knob. This product has been a favorite of many of my friends.
The lock came with me a month ago, because I often forgot to bring my key with me. It is easy to install and includes all of the required components. It only took me ten minutes to install and work on this. The only thing that took longer was to setup the admin code, but everything else works great. It can use pin code or finger print.
We've been using it for some time, and we enjoy it. You can unlock it using code, fingerprint, or a key. The best part is the price. It would cost more than $400 to obtain this lock from the local hardware store.

I liked the color of this unit because it was much more suitable for replacing my standard upper deadbolt and door knob. The outer keypad unit, outside door handle, and inside door lever are all solid metal but the inside deadbolt/batterie unit is of plastic casing and is a solid black which is not oil rub specific in color. Installation and setup was easy. It took less than one and a half hours to replace the previous pieces, install the new pieces, and set up the keypad using all of my previously cut/drilled designs as-is. The installation of the lower handle and lever was a bit difficult to align both inside and outside to ensure a proper function of the levers before putting both sides together. Installation of the upper unit was much easier. I was able to setup a keypad with ease. I do not know what the password function is. While it is mentioned on the product page, it is not found in the included instruction. So you can disregard it and simply set up a pass code of your choice.Overall, if the spec matches your preference, this is a great purchase.
Lock came with detailed and straightforward instructions. It took no time to install. The lock is superior to similar products from big manufacturers such as Weiser and Schlage. I have a Weiser smart lock that I want to have good connections with. It is a much better design because pin connectors will not move apart due to door movement. Change of battery is easier compared to my Weiser lock, too. The instructions in creating codes are clear and easy to understand.

It is a great lock and it is easy to install and use. I previously replaced an older Kwikset lock with a fingerprint version. After I added my fingers, it was simple and quick to use. I do not need to carry keys, get my phone out, or anything similar. I use my fingers frequently because I enjoy getting notifications from the app when my family is using the lock. I obtained my family's fingerprints. There are no codes to remember anymore. The only issue I had was the cable when I connected the parts together. There were some initial struggles to find a place for it. I will see how long the batteries last. I am satisfied with what I have received, but I will see how it goes before I begin.
We have had the Kwikset Kevo for several years. The Kevo lock up and work anytime when they leave, however, they would not be able to return after 10:30. The app can be configured to send push notifications whenever the lock is operated, to put the unit into secure mode and disable fingerprint access, so you can go on vacation and deactivate the lock. The actuator sleeve on the inside powered unit is plastic. The previous one was a white metal. This should be a low stress connection, and it does not impact security, however if it breaks, you would be forced to exit from another door and use your key to unlock the unit, or disassemble the powered unit and manually operate the pin. On the positive side, this unit is about half the thickness of the Kevo. It amazingly resembles a real nice piece of art.
I have owned numerous electronic deadbolts in the last five or six years. This one is by far my favorite. It's build quality is very good. Then all of the parts and pieces were in five individual boxes, all labeled, and the instructions walked you through when to open each box during the installation process. It was simple and quick. The lock reads your fingerprint details quickly, and opens. I feel that it is a wonderful lock that does more than every other lock that I have attempted in the past. There are features that I like, such as the history feature, turning sounds on and off, and the auto lock, and I am hoping to purchase another one for my garage entry door. I have some photos that I took during the installation. I will upload them soon.
It is easy to setup with the physical lock installation and the setup on the Kwikset App. It took less than fifteen minutes to install.
