Kwikset 99540-001 Obsidian Keyless Entry Door Lock Z-Wave Plus Electronic Touchscreen Deadbolt, Satin Nickel - Amazon.com
Overview
Description:
Operation: The lock works flawlessly. Basically you touch the screen and it lights up. Put in your code in and it opens immediately and quickly. I saw a few reviews saying that the keypad was not responsive or that the bolt was slow. That has not been my experience at all. The keypad is very sleek with excellent fit and finish. I looks and feels the way you would expect it to from the photos. The interior operates with a simple thumb latch which is smooth and solid.Install: The install is still super easy. The most important thing is to make sure that the strike and corresponding hole in the jam are properly located. If not, I am pretty sure that the motor will have to work hard to push the bolt and the batteries will not last long. You can check this by engaging the bolt with a screwdriver before installing the rest of the lock.Programming: Entering the codes is incredibly easy. You can put in 5 codes in a couple minutes or less. It also has little switches to control: whether or not it automatically locks after 30 seconds, whether the status led blinks; audio beeping on or off; and, whether you want to use the random number generator to prevent fingerprint patterns of your passcode. If you have the latter on it just will automatically light up two numbers for you to press before you put in the passcode. Having the ability to control these things and not being stuck with features you don't like is really nice.Pairing: I had no problem pairing it with the smart things hub and it works perfectly.Batteries: They were very easy to install and they seem like they would be easy to change when the time comes. The bottom of the keypad also has two hidden terminals for you to power it with a 9v battery in emergency dead battery situations, which is very nice.Minor criticisms:-The instructions are adequate but not amazing.-I had a couple of questions before I purchased. The hold time for support was a little over 10 minutes which seemed a little longer than I would have liked. On the plus side, support reps were helpful, knowledgable and native english speakers so maybe it is worth the wait.-I really wanted this in polished chrome but they only offer two finish options.-I feel like the interior component is somewhat bulky for my taste, but it seems like they all are.
