Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock, Plymouth Trim, Satin Chrome | Keyless entry door lock, Push button keypad deadbolt, Key backup included, Certified security, Easy install, BE365

As a locksmith, I’m comfortable claiming that this is one of the most reliable and robust manual-electronic deadbolts you can get. The whole back plate is heavy metal, as is the keyed cylinder turn knob. There’s not much that can ever go wrong with it when properly installed, as the bolt movement is manual and just the release solenoid is electric. Just be sure to tuck the battery cables inside the lock and only install the inside plate once the cam the tailpiece runs through is straight up and down (it moves to activate the position sensor as the bolt moves). It’s programmed at the keypad only - no Bluetooth or WiFi. Once the code(s) are set, just type in the digits and turn knob to unlock. Press the Schlage button and turn toward door frame to lock. Very simple and few points of potential failure. Read the manual before installing!

I replaced a Schlage keyed deadbolt with this combination item. It works very well. A combination lock allows my kids to open the door without having to keep a key. While I used to be "latch key kid" myself, my own kids are never home alone. Nevertheless, I might send them to the door with bags/groceries etc. while I'm still at the car. When we come back from walking the dog, they can open the door for me. I have confidence knowing they'll never be locked out. A combination lock means my wife and I don't have to carry keys. My wife has an electronic fob for her car, and my car uses a switch and starter button (old school). Eliminating the house key means no more keys at all. Brass metal keys, including Schlage and Kwikset have too much toxic lead in them. So much that they've been sued by State's governments but they are unlikely to change. Not having to handle a key reduces exposure to lead. The lock functions well. It was easy to install (to replace existing deadbolt) and the result was the cylinder turns easily, it fits properly, and works smoothly. Locking and unlocking from inside is just a turn of the large lever. Locking from outside involves pushing the top "Schlage" button and turning the knob to lock the deadbolt. Unlocking from outside, you can either enter the 4 digit combo into the keypad and turn the knob, or you can press the Schlage button to illuminate the keypad and then enter the combo and turn the knob. A 4 digit combo is quick and secure enough for the level of security this whole product is intended for. It provides for more than 3000 possible combinations, so a brute force attack on the combination is not as likely as a brute force attack on the door jamb or window. This is not a high security product, as it is intended for doors that can be kicked in, breached with a ram, or bypassed. The buttons appear to be durable and not likely to soon reveal discrepancies in use, but the combination can be changed easily to level the use of different buttons. The lock also supports multiple combinations, and therefore temporary combinations. I looked at alternatives, but determined this simple option is best. I imagine future cars (and houses) will have two-factor authentication to use -- you'll need to have something (probably a digital certificate with private key on your smartphone device) and to know something (a PIN), but you'll probably have an (slightly less secure) option to pre-enter or save the PIN so that you'll be able to open the door or use the car just by being near it. This combination lock won't unlock just because you're nearby, but it is a pretty easy PIN to enter. I looked at alternatives that include Bluetooth or Wifi connectivity, but they all involved a proprietary service with subscription or a device that was too expensive and unproven. I don't have long term results for this product yet, but expect it will fair well for several years to come. The brushed nickel finish on my Schlage door set failed with peeling varnish after about 5 years. I would have thought it would be nickel plated, but apparently they coat it in some kind of plastic varnish and it comes off. Because of that, I also doubt this combo deadbolt product is really brushed nickel, but instead it is probably the same fake painted-on finish. Edit: It's 2 years later and this lock continues to work brilliantly. I bought another for the door between the garage and house. Before I bought the second, I looked into "smart" locks and what's available today. The best feature they offer is automatic locking/relocking so you don't have to remember to lock the door on the way out -- but any lock that uses a motor to move the deadbolt is going to run the battery down faster and will depend on good alignment of the bolt with the strikeplate. My door is not misaligned, but the reality is that changing temperature and humidity causes the door frame to move. I think I prefer to use a little muscle and lock the door myself rather than depending on Alexa to do it for me. With this lock, I don't even need to bother with a key to lock or unlock it. It's great.

I've replaced the lock in my house 2 times in the past year, so I decided to invest in a keypad model. I rent out a couple rooms in my house, and always change the lock after a tenant vacates. This would cost me $30-$50 a year (depending how many tenants I had). I explored a few of the wifi enabled locks, but don't think the technology is there yet. Seems there are issues with opening/closing the lock remotely (due to battery drain) and I wasn't happy with the cost to maintain the wifi access on a monthly basis (not to mention, many of the models require the purchase of a router). I stumbled across the Schlage and was instantly intrigued! The reviews on this product are great (and well justified)! The price is over double what I would pay for a basic lock, but I would earn the money back in 1-2 years, so it was a no-brainer! I received the lock and installed it within 20 minutes (including setting up 4 additional user codes). Truth be told, I'm a terrible handyman and usually screw up the easiest of household repairs and updates. However, the instructions were very clear, and the product itself well labeled and designed. I was surprised that I had the lock working in no time, and with no issues! I really admire the build of this lock. They did a great job in making sure all the pieces fit together well and are comprehensively labeled. The battery and wires are snuggly positioned within the housing, the construction is solid and sturdy, and it looks sharp! Programming was straightforward, and usage was a breeze. The only feedback I have is that when I lock the door, the lock waits 5 seconds before it's fully locked (meaning you could still open it). I'm not sure that's a benefit, as I don't know of anytime I need to unlock the door right after I've locked it. So, I'd like to lock it and walk away without the 5 second delay (it's the OCD in me to check the lock). So far, I love this lock! I put a lock box (with key) behind my house in case of battery failure or an electronic glitch, so all I have are my car keys-awesome!

Update (after 3.5 years of use): The lock could be a little flaky from time to time - not engaging the turn knob into the deadbolt after entering a valid code. You could hear the mechanism click as if it were trying to engage, but the knob would turn freely with just slight tick of resistance from the points it was unsuccessfully attempting to connect into the deadbolt mechanism. This seemed to be more frequent during times of cold weather. The battery seemed fine (and is located on the inside of the lock, so it's not exposed directly to the colder temps), so my guess is the mechanism may have just had some sort of lubricant that stiffened up in the cold and prevented the lighter portions of the mechanism from moving freely (there's no way to get to that portion of the lock to clean or re-lubricate it). Finally, after several weeks of warmer weather in which the engagement was still finicky, the clicking for an "attempted" engagement of the mechanism stopped altogether. We would enter a valid code and the lock would just sit there and not even attempt to interface with the deadbolt. Once that behavior started, it was 100% consistent and we had to buy a new lock. This was also consistent with a new and tested battery in place. The lock was so convenient that we did decide to take a chance on a new one of the same model - hoping they've worked the kinks out in the intervening 3.5 years (or maybe we just got a dud the first time). Time will tell. Original Review: Our oldest was starting middle school this year, which was within walking distance, so we wanted a way he could let himself in when he got home from school without worrying about a lost key. This lock works perfectly for us. Now it's so easy for our kids to lock the door behind themselves on the way out (only need to push 1 button to lock) and let themselves in when they get home. It accepts multiple codes, so we were able to program a "main" code that matched our existing garage keypad, plus an additional "throwaway" code we could could give to someone to get into our house if we were away and needed something done (and we can just erase that code afterward such an event and not worry about someone having persistent access to our home). I was worried about how the unit might be affected by cold, since we live in CO, but it went down into single digits several times one week in early winter and the unit functioned 100% normally the entire time. I wish we'd made this change years ago!

I took the lock out of the box and 'played' with it following the instructions to make sure I know how it'll work. Sure enough, it seemed pretty easy to put the 4 main components together (center bolt, front plate w/ the buttons, back plate, and then back cover). I was able to follow the instructions to re-program all the codes that came with the unit. The next day, the actual installation took all 10 min. In fact, removing the existing deadbolt was harder than installation of the new one. Luckily, the existing hole in the door was perfect and no extra work needed [the deadbolt that was there was also a Schlege]. The fit and finish was very good. I've to see if it works any worse in the winter, which can get to 0F here. Another poster mentioned it didn't work in the cold so I'm a little wary. Also, I wonder whether the unit gives the warning when the battery goes low. It'd bad to lose function unexpected. One thing about using the key. It's a little difficult to pull out the key after locking or unlocking with it rather than using the keypad. It might be something I need to get used to over time. Update after 1 month: I am EXTREMELY Disappointed because the combo function became unresponsive out of the blue one morning. This is after at most 10 uses since I was out of town all but 1 week during the entire month. It's not the battery (has plenty of life in it and I also tried another battery). Luckily I had the key or else I'd have been locked out. I don't know if it's because the weather was cool & humid (early Oct in the Northeast) and there was condensation on the lock which may have seeped inside the covers. Given this is an exterior lock, you'd think it should withstand weather like this. My door is under a porch so it's not like rain pours on it. Word of advice: Carry your keys or hide it somewhere just in case the lock dies on you. That's what I'm doing from now on. Update after 10+ yrs. I got a new unit right after writing the orig review and it had been working great all these years, changing battery 2x in 10 yrs. I love not having to fumble w keys when I'm in a hurry to leave the house- just press the top button and rotate the bolt to lockup. And coming home in the dark, it's so much easier to open the door w the buttons than trying to put the key in the keyhole. But I still find it difficult to pull out the key after all these years. At year 10, it finally died... as in when the codes are entered, the buttons light up green but the latching mechanism does not engage. At first I thought it was bad 9v batteries but after getting new ones multiple tunes, I'm convinced it's the lock. Called Schlege and they sent me a brand new one! That's why I'm changing my rating from 1 star to 5 stars... The lifetime warranty means this is the last deadbolt lock I ever need to buy.

Revised: 2/9/21 I just downgraded stars from 2 to 1. We just had our 3rd one of these fail in the past 4 weeks. Same issue every time with the spinning deadbolt knob not catching. ------ I am real estate professional. I personally own literally 20+ of this model lock. I manage other properties with about 10-15 more. These USED to be the gold standard. Sadly, they are no longer worth their weight in paper, and Schlage (Allegion - parent company) knows it. I just replaced a couple that lasted ~4-5 years - I am more than happy with that lifespan. Some of these replacements lasted less than 4 weeks each, 1 didn't work out of the box. In fact, I am averaging about a 50% fail rate on all new BE365's - that's a sample size of 8. On the duds, the electronics still work, but the deadbolt will spin and never actually catch the lock to unlock. It just spins forever. Now in the past, Schlage's customer service has been top-notch. So I gave them a call. I asked what changed - a redesign or a new manufacturing plant? Let's solve this problem together, right? I loved their product, and I just want them to work. Well, they declined to tell me. But the CS Rep 100% knew that there is a huge problem that Schlage does not want to admit. They agreed to send me replacements for 3 of the locks (the 4th I had already returned to Home Depot). The advice was to install a piece of felt behind the lock to help protect from the cold. What? Really? I'm in the deep south - it's not that cold - and why aren't they supplying said pieces of felt if they know it is an issue?? 2 weeks later, no replacements received. I emailed Schlage and 24 hours later, they claim I need to re-send the serial codes (already done once and they acknowledged receipt at that time) and provide additional information. Wow. I've spent countless hours already with this, not to mention client lock-outs have costed me $100's, if not $1,000's, and I still have broken locks. So, in summation, what used to be a 5-star product is now a 1-star product. What used to be 5-star customer service is now 1-star customer service. I'll gladly update this review if there a reason to do so.

Good quality and functionality. Would recommend this product. The last one I had, 375 model lasted 7 years.

Made well. Sturdy. Looks good. This silver finish should withstand the outdoor UV all day sun better than the last brand which only lasted 4.5 years. Why it is worth the extra money... the old brand had the little metal parts fall out and break, so that the batteries could not make a connection. That old brand does not design their lock so that part can be replaced. The fix is to get a new lock. The Schlage should not have that problem. Also, the push buttons should survive the all day sun better than the last brand that had a flat / flush keypad.

Muito satisfeito com a qualidade e nível de detalhe. Recomendo, tanto que já comprei 2 pra colocar na porta da casa e no portão.

Muy buen producto e instrucciones claras.

Muy sencillo, muy útil y práctico.

I bought this lock for a fire door from the kitchen into the garage. It gives easy access from the kitchen and no key access from the garage. It is a substantial bit of kit, but is simple to fit, with excellent instructions. You should note that it is sent from USA, but this was swift and efficient. Recommended.

These locks are brilliant - different - but brilliant. After wanting to throw about 5 Weiser keypad locks through the window (after years of use), I decided to try Schlage. They are vastly superior in almost every way. Let's address the "almost" part first. Opening and closing is a two step process. Push the button, turn the handle to lock. Type the code, turn the handle to unlock. No biggie, but if you're used to Weiser, this might seem less convenient. It is, but the tradeoffs are entirely worth it. 1) The Schlage is simply more secure. Heavier duty and the lock design is far superior. I can't imagine the frustration of attempting to pick a spinning lock with a clutch. 2) There is no powered motor to burn out. Sure turning the handle is inconvenient, but the Weiser motors constantly burn out, and it's very easy to not realize the door hasn't locked. This way, you feel when it's locked properly. 3) The programming is far superior, faster and more reliable. 4) The installation is insanely easy. Sure, it's only a one-time pain, but I returned about half the Weiser locks I bought due to installation issues and defects during installation or programming. 5) No ugly plastic housing. 6) 9V battery that doesn't power a motor will last for years. 7) Low battery indicator. 8) I love these. 9) I am quite literally going to uninstall even my working Weisers to replace them with these. Just ordered another one.
