A nice and handy system in that it has totally made my door locking system mechanical and convinient to use without any hassle of keys involved. Very easy to install as it comes with step by step instructions and can be installed without any technical expertise and hence simply by anyone.

One caveat: The advertisement says that it is useable with amazon Alexa but it is only possible to close the lock at this time and not being able to open it. overall a recommended product

Very noisy locking system. Very difficult to set up as a smart home lock system.

Good product fast shipping

Got this lock on Saturday Dec. 8th. 2018. 1st thing to remember that if you want a smart lock it HAS TO HAVE ZIGBEE, if you don't want buy an extra hub to control your lock with you Echo. We don't have a hub, we are using our Echo Plus as the hub. And right now alot of these smart locks do not have Zigbee. So your kinda limited on your choices. 2nd it is not very hard to install. Took us more than normal cause our door has a little hitch in it. 3rd code setting is easy. But have a master code in mind if using one already. You don't have to have or use a master code. And then your 4 to 8 digit entry code. Cause if you hesitate for those 5 seconds it won't take the code. But it will remember it. So it won't let you enter the same code again. You have to clear it out and start over again. Which we did and it took the code just fine. One long beep when code is accepted and 3 consecutive beeps if it is not. 4th go to your Alex app and settings and find the new device locks. Kwikset will be listed. Select the lock and it will tell you to press button A on the lock then hit search. Alexa will find the lock. Then your set to use your Echo Plus. If you are using your Echo to unlock the door using the verbal command will need a 4 digit code as well. So have one ready. And enable your whisper mode on Alexa. This helps if you have only 1 Alexa device in your house, so she can hear you better if you are too far away. There is a tiny light that flashes on the back of the lock. This indicates a few things. Yellow means door is locked. Yellow & red means door is locked and your are batteries are low. Green means door is open. Before putting the back cover on the lock, there are 4 little switches. #2 switch if pushed up to "on" enables the 30sec lock, comes in the off position. Which means if you enter your house and don't lock the door right away, the door will automatically lock after 30secs. And if your not by the door you can always ask Alexa to check to see if the door is locked or unlocked and she will tell you. The only downside is I wish this had a flip latch on the top cover where the batteries go. Cause when changing the batteries you have to unscrew the back cover everytime you change the batteries out. And please use the Allen wrench provided and not a Philips screwdriver. Or you will strip the screws. I read that a previous customer used a screwdriver and stripped the Allen screws. It pays to read ALL the instructions when installing any device. Hope this helps anyone wanting to buy this smart lock.

I feel disappointed. The lock works fine. It looks nice. It even works exactly like the box says. Here is my problem. Every 2 weeks, I have to change 4 batteries. I use this door to leave and come home. It self-locks on my way out and I manually close it when I get home. So it may have to auto-close using battery 2 or 3 times a day on average (M-F) and weekends once maybe. Four brand new batteries should last at least 6 weeks. I wouldn't even be sad if it was 6 weeks. I think I'd be okay with that. Two weeks, though? That's 8 AA batteries a month. Who has that kind of time on their hands???
