Ratings & Reviews for Kwikset 912 SmartCode Venetian Bronze Smart Keypad Electronic Handle Lock ft. SmartKey Security

I never lose my key

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After buying a car with keyless ignition I found it annoying to have to dig in my pocket for my house key. This SmartCode Lever was the answer. The lever handle is easy to work since I have rheumatoid arthritis. My hand strength isn't what it once was.It is also very attractive.

Never get locked out again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this lock set installed for the past three years and I love it. I enjoy the piece of mind that it gives me knowing that when I leave the house the door locks behind me. No more driving back home to check to see if I locked the door. I did have one issue with a defective portion of the lock, but Kwikset sent me a brand new replacement with no questions asked. It's a brand and company that stands by their word. I've even installed them o...

The best Kwikset Model: 911 11P SMT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Kwikset locks in my past two homes.I find these locks to be live savers.not only does the save me time for entry,it also provides me with security when I forget to lock the door. I had all my family members install these locks on their homes as well. With regard to Kwikset as a company they stand by their product to use after I installed one of the model 911 locks a pin broke in the lock.one call to customer service and I had ...

So far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for almost a year and have been happy with it so far. It's so great not to have to fumble through my purse to find my house keys when I get home or worry about locking myself out. I can't speak to how secure it is...I have it on the entry door inside my garage, so no one has ever tampered with it.

one less key

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this smartcode lock. One less key I have to carry. I will be buying another one for the cottage. While on vacation it allowed me to give a code to the house setter who was checking the house. I have also given the code to my two children so that they can enter the house in an emergency.

Not as great as the other brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a different manufacturers on my other house and it has one button for each number. The other one has worked flawlessly for 5 years now. This one, in 18 months is now in its 3rd set of batteries. Not only this, but with multiple numbers per button, I have had 3 people randomly punch in numbers and get in the door, within the last year. 2 Months ago, when entering the house from outside, after the door is closed, when the unit automaticall...

Perfection when it works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product for 8 years. It's the perfect security door access for my home.unless it fails to work. If something goes wrong I'm essentially locked out or unlocked. The company and it's support people are all very helpful and graciously replace the malfunctioning lockset, but in the meantime I feel very vulnerable..

Easy to install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this on the door leading from the garage to the house for a year and love it. It's nice not to worry about having keys out, the keypad lights up in the event the garage light it out and it is super easy to install and program

pet saver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it is so nice that if we are away from home too long we can call friends or neighbors, give them the access code and they can let our dogs out to do their business, put them back in and be on their way . don't have to plan in advance and give a key or leave a key where someone else could find it. when we get home we just change the access code. have now bought one for my sons house warming gift for those same reasons. he gives it 5 stars too

Great for security.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first one for my mother so she would never need to find a key. Worked great! She loves the feature that it can be set to lock when she goes outside and does not worry about her house being locked. I have since bought five more for my house, shop and building. Great Product!

Easy code entry and self lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First one purchased would fail to lock, was replaced and this one works fine.

Electronic failure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install and rekey, but after two months the electronic component stopped working and would not let me use a code to enter the house. I did a factory reset, reinstalled, check all settings, and it would not work. I took it back to Home Depot, and got a replacement. I hope this time the electronics last longer- and I don't like that the warranty is only for one year on the part that is most likely to fail. On the other hand, if even I can...

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids love it and so do I. No more finding keys kids press the button when my hands are full. They areally only 4 and 6 years old.

No 911's here!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect choice for seniors. Easy to grasp handle and the keypad feature makes things so much easier. It also looks great.

Does not work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product. It did not work. You sent me a replacement. It did not work. You sent me another replacement. Guess what. It doesn't work

does not fit with standard handle to deadbolt dist

Standard door knob or handle to deadbolt distance is 5 and a half inches center to center. The inside handle and controller will not fit. Interferes with the deadbolt. Maybe they should have considered this. Door needs at least maybe 8 inches to make sure you can pull the battery cartridge out.

Usually works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works for where I needed it but I have an issue with it recognizing the first button press many of the times I go to use it and end up doing wrong code and having to do it again. Otherwise it is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this now for several years and it works great.

Very useful, but has a few drawbacks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using a keypad, rather than hunting for keys all the time. I found two (minor) drawbacks: 1) my hand bumps the "lock" button nearly every time I reach for the handle outside. That button should not be located right above the handle itself. 2) the inside handle falls off about every other month. I tighten the screw, but somehow it keeps loosening.

SAFE AND SECURE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MY WIFE ASKED FOR A LOCK TO UNLOCK EASY AND FAST, AND IT WILL LOCK BACK AFTER SHE PASSES THRU. FOUND JUST THE LOCK, WORKS GREAT. OUR LOBBY IS OPEN FOR GUEST AND OFFICE AREA IS LOCKED, MANY TIMES GUEST FOLLOW MY WIFE INTO HER OFFICE FROM LOBBY, SHE IS ALWAYS AFRAID THIS WILL BE THE ONCE SHE WILL BE ROBBED. AFTER INSTALLING THIS LOCK, GUEST CAN NOT FOLLOW HER THRU HER DOOR AFTER SHE CLOSES IT. THIS MAKES HER SAFE AND SECURE.
