What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the deadbolt for reliable keyless operation, straightforward installation completed in under 30 minutes, and intuitive programming. Many highlight the convenience of eliminating physical keys and appreciate the polished brass finish that enhances door aesthetics. The auto-lock feature and ability to create multiple access codes for family and guests are frequently cited as major conveniences. A small number report intermittent bolt retraction issues or difficulty locating the programming button, and a few note the lock is not reversible for door swing direction. Despite these isolated concerns, most customers find the product highly satisfactory and many purchase additional units.

Defective?

Installed according to instructions. Lock/unlocks manually with key but does not once the internal hardware is installed. Does not lock and gives jam error with internal hardware mounted. Lowes responded to previous review left but unable to review the response.

Maybe defective?

Would Not Recommend

Installed according to the instructions. Can manually lock/unlock, but manual unlock does not allow for the key to be removed without the bolt ejecting a bit. Manual lock/unlock with key without the internal mechanism works but once internal mechanism is connected it does not auto lock/unlock

Great staff, reasonable price

Would Recommend

First the young lady who works in the hardware area in shalottee rekeyed all the deadbolts and hand sets (total of 8). She offered to do it and explained how she did it. All your staff needs be at her level. Great keyless deadbolt! Nice looking at a great price

This was a good price, easy to install and program. I use this as the lock for my rental property and installed in within 20 mins. It uses batteries and they are easy to access.

Keypad is always easier than a key

Would Recommend

The keypad deadbolt on my front door had died, so it was time for a new one. I got the same brand, so everything fit perfectly. It was easy out, easy in. The install instructions can be a little vague, but I muttled my way through. Works great and easy to program. The last one lasted 8 years. I hope this one does the same.

Outstanding Door Hardware

Would Recommend

We installed these Kwikset door locks on both the front and patio doors. We love the finishes and styles. They are so much safer and secure than the old ones installed years ago. One cannot buy better door hardware than Kwikset.

It works

Would Recommend

As described. Programming is robust and more than we need, but this device matched our other knobs and deadbolts aesthetic.
