Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Keyless Entry Door Lock with Halifax Satin Nickel Lever

Worst quality lock ever

This lock is a complete piece of garbage. It had so many problems and keeps breaking. There were so many issues with this lock. They included: 1 - Batteries died quickly and we had to replace the batteries every two weeks. 2 - The lock wouldn't respond to the app. We would unlock or lock it with the app and 90% of the time it wouldn't respond. If it did respond it took 5 to 10 minutes before it would respond. 3 - The lock kept breaking. The locking mechanism would jam regularly and we couldn't l...

Halo touchscreen

Just purchased this at Lowes on a Clearance. I've been needing an upgrade from my old keyless lock that I have had for 15+ years. I was hoping this was easy to install and setup on my WIFI network. I am glad to report installation and WIFI setup was incredibly easy. It seems to work as advertised. As with anything time will tell. Very well built. So far so good. One note: this lock is loud. When the motor engages you can definitely here it.

Glitchy and lack luster bluetooth function

Very glitchy and runs through batteries like crazy. Bought this lock about a month and a half ago when we moved into our new house. We have used keypad deadbolts at all of our previous houses and loved them. Usually we have to replace the batteries once a year at most. I have replaced the batteries in this at least three times in the last month and a half ( I am sure it’s due to the device constantly disconnecting and trying to reconnect to the Wi-Fi) We were willing to pay for the more expensiv...

A very useful and handy lock.

The HALO lock is installed on my front door. It has been super useful as a passkey for authorizing visitors while I'm away. The batteries last several months for me. I do not use the keypad very often. Perhaps if I used it 2-4 times a day the batteries would run down regularly (which is what I suspect many of the bad reviews are the result of). BUT, if the lock struggles to open or close, it is an alignment issue which is obviously a battery draining problem. Kwikset support give very good instr...

Battery life is pathetic!!

I bought this lock about six months ago. I have already replaced the batteries 5 times. This is unacceptable. I install door hardware as a part time job for a construction company, so I know how to install door hardware. It was extremely easy to install. And I like how easy it is to rekey kwickset locks. But I would never recommend kwickset for keyless entry. And it is easy to miss the notification when the battery gets low.

Convenient with some drawbacks

We bought the Kwikset Halo Touchscreen Electronic Deadbolt after an earlier model gave us too many problems. We bought a newer version of the same lock we already had. Installation went well for the most part, but I expected to be able to program the lock from the lock itself, like the last one. Instead, we had to do it through the app. Downloading the app went fine but getting past all the verifications to where we could actually put in a lock code was annoying. The Cookie warning came up ...

Terrible durability and short battery life

We've had this for about 2 yrs at our farmhouse and it's only used about 20 cycles per month. But the exterior plastic touch keypad has peeled and degraded terribly. The battery life is terrible and requires changing them about every 3 months. I've used various Kwikset electric locks for about a decade and this is by far the least durable model I've ever had. I do not recommend it!

The Electronics Barely Outlasted the Warranty

The lock worked well for about two years, then developed severe battery drain and now burns through alkaline batteries every 7 to 10 days with very little use. I verified 2.4 GHz WiFi signal strength, reset the lock, tested multiple alkaline battery brands, and confirmed there are no alignment or mechanical issues. The drain continues even while the lock sits mostly idle. Kwikset support was polite, but ultimately hid behind the 1 year electronics warranty and offered no accommodation at all. ...

Great Features, Absolute Battery NightmareI

I purchased two Kwikset Halo Touchscreen locks for my front and security doors primarily for the SmartKey functionality. It was a perfect plan: I could re-key them to my existing house keys so family could use their physical keys, while still having the convenience of codes for guests and others. While the features are great and the setup was seamless, the battery life is an absolute disaster. I’ve owned these for just over a year and I am forced to replace the batteries in both units every 6 to...

Great Lock

purchased and installation was easy. I did run into issue connecting to app because it kept saying device was already installed and to delete to connect I had to call support because i was unable to locate device and they helped me all the way through process and ensured everything connected and was working properly and informed me they were available 24/7. works great with both app and keypad and smart key rekey was easy to do.
