Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt with Century Trim in Satin Nickel

Very very difficult to install , if your door is 1 mm thicker than the metal piece which connects the 2 parts, your are screwed!!

I installed the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt on my front door and it’s been one of the best “quality of life” upgrades I’ve made. The hardware feels solid and secure (typical Schlage), and the aged bronze finish looks great and hasn’t shown fingerprints the way shinier finishes do. Setup was straightforward: the app walked me through pairing to Wi-Fi and calibrating the bolt, and I had it working within minutes. The biggest win is keyless entry—no more hiding spare keys or worrying about lockouts. The touchscreen is responsive, and I love being able to create and delete access codes from my phone. It’s perfect for guests and deliveries, and if you host on Airbnb, being able to make time-based codes is a game changer. Smart home integration has been reliable for me. I use it with Alexa/Google for lock status checks and routines, and the auto-lock feature gives me peace of mind when someone forgets to lock up. Notifications have been accurate, and I like being able to see when a specific code was used.

The wireless functionality is good for two reasons: 1) If you think you forgot to lock the font door. 2) If you need to give someone temporary access you can give them a code. One thing to remember is you'll still want a key as a backup, so you'll need to get a re-keying kit so that all the locks match. It's not the trickiest procedure, but it's not trivial either since getting the pins right and not losing springs can be a bit tricky.

En excelente estado original y todo sellado. El producto se ve de buena calidad se encuentra funcionando correctamente sin problemas

After much research, I finally bit the bullet and bought a Schlage Encode, and I'm so glad I did. I love this lock! Installation instructions (especially the online interactive instructions) made it easy to install, although I did have to make a few minor modifications because it didn't quite retrofit to my old lock fittings. Now that it is installed, everything seems to be working perfectly. The Schlage Home app makes it super easy to lock/unlock the door (great to do from the car when you have an armload of shopping or from bed if you're not sure the door is locked), set up user codes for specific dates and times (which I need for my Airbnb guests) and notify me when the door is locked and unlocked. It can be set up to automatically lock or not after the door is open (great for when people leave to ensure the door is locked). I'm so happy not to have to take my key with me when going out. Definitely worth the price.

[UPDATE] There were some hiccups (see below - likely with their App or cloud service), but they seemed to be resolved within a few days - not sure reaching out to customer support made a difference? This lock actually changed my life - after 4+ months of using it, I do not have to worry about programming custom codes for AirBnb guests, setting the valid times, and worrying if they will be able to figure out and enter. So far, ZERO hiccups with checkins, a great solution that integrates with the AirBnb platform, I honestly could not be happier with any other solution for managing entry into short term rentals. [ORIGINAL] I bought this to replace my Nest x Yale lock for use with a short term rental, which is working generally good, but there is a known problem with some codes not being available after programming them in. I've had a horrible experience with someone being locked out for the night because the lock thought the code was out of schedule. This happens at least once every 10 stays, so I have to test the code myself and have a permanent backup code. Hence the need for a better smart lock. I've read good reviews about the encode, so decided to try it. Day 1 after receiving I installed, which is easy and just like the Nest lock, very simple. The App support for Android (latest OS and new phone) however makes this lock unusable. After adding the lock, there is no way to add codes or see history, it just comes up with an error in the App. Tech support was not help, but eventually I found a method where you go into Android settings and clear cache and storage, which forces you to login again, and then you have access to the codes and history, making it actually useful... However, after closing the App, same thing happens, so basically you have to clear cache and relogin every time you want to use the smart features of this lock. Furthermore, I was enticed by its integration with Airbnb, where supposedly don't even need to worry about programming codes.. well that doesn't work either, errors on the app when trying to authenticate between the two. Maybe it's a better experience for iPhone users, but this is a useless smart lock from my experience, will be returning, as this is day 3 since installing, and no solution in sight.
