Great so far!
I have had this a month now and so far so good. It is so easy to use and so convenient. We did make the mistake of using lithium batteries in it and it stopped working in like 2 weeks but I noticed on the battery cover it says “do not use lithium batteries” so I guess that was unseen while it was being installed but I switched the batteries and its been fine. My husband said it was easy to install which is a plus. It looks great and I will update if this thing doesn’t hold up.

NO keys!
These are great for people on the go and those who often forget their keys. I no longer end up locked out and if I need to let somebody in my house but don’t want to leave the house unlocked all day I can set an additional code and remove it later so they only have limited access.

Has all parts and works
I only just installed this so I do not know about longevity, but I previously ordered two separate Schlage locks which came in 1) with missing parts and clearly dented and the 2nd) just completely unworking. So just very happy this one showed up with all parts and fully functional

Needed better instructions
Lock works fine, but it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to install it

Great lock.
Was easy to install and set up. At a point we lost internet and I could not get it hooked back up, so I called Kwikset customer support and they helped and I was back up in 5 minutes. We love not having to carry a key.

A High-Quality Secure Lock With Bad Written but Good YouTube Installation [except…]
Overall, a real value for the buck. Easy to install. I did three. It took 15-20 minutes for the first one—mostly reading instructions and watching KwickSet’s Iinstall video over coffee—and around 5 minutes for the others. Good looking, at once updating my 1920s bungalow while blending into the vintage esthetic. Smooth operation. And secure.Five stars, but I’m tempted to shave-off a star for poor instructions regarding re-handing a lock. See below for details.Re: security. Most equivalently-priced deadbolts at my hardware and big-box stores were less secure, rated as ANSI level. These Kwickset SmartCode 260 locks are locksmith-worthy ANSI level 2 locks. Finding Level 2 locks in the big-box was a bit of a joke, though, since no worker had a clue. Though I found a Schlange whose packaging declared “Level 2” for $200. My local hardware store was more helpful and had a similar level 2… but on sale for $130 ($170 regular price).* INSTALL NOTE. Watch Kwickset’s YouTube install video. It takes but a minute since the written instructions were tough to follow with printing too small for my late-50’s eyes.HOWEVER… There is no description of re-handing the lock if you need to, be try not to power-up the lock before it is installed since it automatically determines hand. And changing hands it NOT discussed.I learned this the hard way with my third and final install. The last lock was the one I’d been messing around with as I followed the install video, resetting entry codes, etc. with batteries in. I installed it physically without a hitch, but it was electronically wrong-handed, meaning that hitting “lock” unlocked it.Since the other two I’d installed earlier handed themselves automatically, I was at a loss. Since re-handing was not covered in the manual or videos for this model, I thought I had a defective unit. I called, but Kwikset was closed for Thanksgiving.Not one to give up I installed and re-installed it four times, following along with the YouTube install video for the final two. The result was always the same.So my initial five-minute install grew to over 90 minutes.Frustrating!And then, after giving up and re-installing the old deadbolt, I noticed “reset” and “change hand” codes in fine print, hidden in a chart showing “How To Program The Lock” while eating dinner. So after dishes, I took out the old manual bolt… AGAIN!… reinstalled the final electronic deadbolt… FOR THE FIFTH TIME!… and entered the “factory reset” code.And Finally, the thing worked, automatically handing itself when I entered the set-up sequence.A lot of frustration could have been avoided if handing had been covered since I know I’m not the only person this is going to happen to.Still, since this was my fault, I’m not taking off on the review since I’m well aware that I’m a sort of “Ready…. Fire…. Aim” sort of guy.

Best around
This kwikset model is excellent. I bought this over a 1-1/2 years ago. has worked flawlessly, battery life is excellent when you use good quality batteries. the four AA batteries have lasted a year that is because I forgot to change them. Usually, I changed batteries every six months. The key duplication is very easy to use and works on all kwikset keys. The keypad is also good quality that responds well to touch. Colors are easy to match for new door handles. Installation was quick and easy. I recommend this. It’s fantastic.
