Ratings & Reviews for Kwikset SmartCode 910 Lifetime Polished Brass Smart Lock Electronic Deadbolt SmartKey Keypad

Worked great for a few years.

Worked great for years. Now the deadbolt cannot be fully turned to the unlock position without wrestling with the lever. When the door is finally open the deadbolt only partially extends. It will not lock without the key or the inside lever. New batteries did not help. Took it off of the door, using the key, the deadbolt works perfectly. Gears are fine, must be the motor. Was going to just replace it, but now I find out that it has been discontinued. Sadly we have three of these. So, I guessing...

no replacement for wear and tear.

i purchased this several years ago, the buttons are wearing out so i called and asked if i could get a push button replacement and was told no they dont make them. the lock works fine so i was basically told Id have to throw it out and buy a new one. DONT NOT BUY THIS ITEM FOR THAT REASON. it should have replacement parts

5 years and still doing great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought 3 of these in 2018. Zwave has been very reliable. Very handy to program on my phone. (requires a hub) The finish is starting to wear a bit. But, expected. I would buy again if building another home.

This lock is trash

I've had these locks on business and personal properties for years. I will be replacing them all with a different brand. Tonight was the 3rd night one of my deadbolt 909 locks was froze with no key available I took a drill and a half inch drill bit to the lock and in less then 10 seconds I was in. This is not acceptable for a lock product.

They can't all be as bad as mine...can they?

Unreliable. Only works occasionally. Constantly displays error messages. play with the buttons and work it manually and it will work properly for the next few hours or maybe a day or two before it fails. Batteries last about a month with very light use. I've replaced the battery box 3 times due to corrosion. This one at least is total garbage. Today (12/3/22) i finally gave up and removed the batteries and will use it manually from here on. If you buy this one good luck to yo.

awful, built upside down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lockset will only fit if installed upside down. The slide bolt and key pad have to be installed upside down or the torque blade and turnpiece shaft to align. The two pieces are 180 degrees out of palhase. One might be able to install only the inside panel upside down, but the door knob generally prevents that. Anyway this product takes hours to install and will not install properly. I hope I just got a badly manufactured one. Garbage.

Model 450248

I bought my house almost 2 years ago and I have not had any issues except for the battery draining however switching alarm companies and now I'm trying to sync this model over to the new company - What would I need to do to do that? Would I need a DSK code or how would I sync this to the new alarm system.

Stopped working.

I bought mine 3 years ago and it worked well until about a month ago. The batteries were dead, and I changed them. The keypad kept turning red as if the batteries were still dead. I changed batteries 3 different times and then the keypad just stopped working all together. I ended up replacing the whole deadbolt.

Came home to a dead lock now it won’t work again

The lock worked great until it didn’t. I’m assuming the batteries died while I was at work, got home and the keypad was dead. Replaced the batteries and did the SAME handing procedure as initially performed successfully and I get nothing. Factory reset the lock and attempted again and still nothing. Troubleshooting says the handing method was performed incorrectly but I did the exact same thing as last time and I’m not sure how you could mess up holding the lock button while you insert the batte...

Requires replacement at least every 3 years.

I've been through 4 different Kwikset Smart Code locks in the 9 years that I've owned my home. I have them on both my front and back doors. In all four cases, either the lock motor or the keypad electronics failed. I've performed all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Kwikset website, to include factory resets. I've even called the technical support line and all confirm that the electronics are poorly built. At the very least, Kwikset should consider selling replacement parts, such as th...

Only one year

Bought this one year ago, and needed to change out the batteries. Once done, could not get the code to work, so I called the 800 and the person seemed "Put out" that she had to help me. Finally she said must be broken, you have to get a new one. I told her hard to believe that it was working fine until I had to replace the batteries. She then just said is there anything further I can help you with.

Good Luck

Professionally installed by my builder's security subcontractor last year. Works great when it's working, but good luck when it's time to change the batteries. Followed the user manual exactly in the MULTIPLE INTRICATE steps required to reset and re-oriente the lock and add/delet/reset codes and it won't work. A rubik's cube is simplier. Calling a locksmith Monday, probably going to throw it in the trash and get a simple fool proof manual deadbolt. Another example of how technology only complica...

Great lock when works, unreliable so keep your key

Bought this lock about a year and a half ago and it was working fine. I convinced my neighbor to get one as well and I did the install for them. When testing their lock, it made a weird motorized sound and then I realized the battery pack had melted completely. Everything was installed perfectly so we returned the lock for a new one. All has been fine since. My lock batteries died a couple months ago so I replaced them. Today when leaving the house, my lock died. I checked and the batte...

Great dead bolt keyless lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this keyless lock. It was easy to install we did not change the keys. It works quick and easy and you can get in your house without having to have your keys and you had don’t have to look for them and if your hands are loaded with groceries you can just use your index finger to get in

Doesnt last

I installed this lock on my mothers door 2 years ago. She is in a wheelchair and I thought this would be helpful getting her in and out. The 1-2 key is bad. That is necessary for our combination. We paid extra for brass. We only use it once or twice a week Turns out the lifetime warranty is only one year on the electricals. Nice!

Failed due to corrosion

Easy to install and program, but it developed severe corrosion since the last battery change. The numeric buttons stopped responding button press. Can see corrosion on battery caddy, the back bracket, and on circuit board (parts on interior side of house).

Decaying after less than a year

Lock is decaying outside after a very short time, very disappointing!

worked with smartthings and now home assistant

on my 4th year with this lock and kwikset brought zwave locks to the marketplace that work great, very happy with this lock. Could be more satisfied if the lock container was smaller however, still the best product on the market for my use case.
