SCHLAGE BE365 CAM 622 Keypad Electronic Deadbolt, Matte Black

Foi rápida a entrega e a fechadura e ótima! Essa foi para substituir a que eu tinha ha muitos anos!

[Updated because the early issues are completely gone] This purchase was an exact duplicate of the Schlage model & finish that I had to discard after 10 years of use. I expected more than 10 years, but really can't complain. This replacement works exactly the same, which is a good thing. During the first month only, this new unit occasionally failed to open the lock until the second try. All but one of those failures was for locking on the way out; just one time unlocking on the way in. After that first 30 days, everything has worked perfectly. I didn't call Schlage customer service because the need wasn't severe and because the issue was both infrequent and fixable on retry. Using the key instead of buttons always worked, so I was never really locked out. No big worries, so four stars initially - five stars now. My identical previous front door lock did not have this problem. Well, at least not until it died. But by that point even the key didn't work. I wish it had lasted longer than ten years. But I obviously like this model because I bought another one just like it. Oh - and I chose it originally because of a top rating from Consumer Reports years ago. Comparing my Schlage deadbolt (two now) to my original non-Schlage keypad lock, this model is definitely an improvement. The original used an internal motor to throw & retract the deadbolt. I thought I would prefer this feature, but I soon ran into problems when the internal plastic gears got stripped whenever the deadbolt wasn't perfectly aligned going into the door jamb or had too much friction coming out - common for my front doorframe from slight hot/cold weather warping. To be clear, this was a problem on a different deadbolt lock which is why I switched to this Schlage model where I provide the locking & unlocking force (no motor) after pushing buttons. I haven't found anything plastic in this Schlage product. A final note: This deadbolt lock is fairly easy to install if you follow the easy-to-read instructions, i.e., not broken English from some poor translation. It's not a simple as, say, a plug-and-play USB for your computer. But most home front doors won't need any tools beyond a normal-sized screwdriver. Then "programming" the combination is crazy simple, again by following the clear instructions. It's nice too that they supply the 9-volt battery because I never stock those at home. The product has that heavy solid-metal heft that you want for home protection.

This is my second time around with this same lock. Installed the first one about 10 years ago and it always worked like a champ. However, over the past several months it started to wear out. Often had to enter the code and turn the bolt several times, and then re-enter the code and turn the bolt some more, and so on, before it would finally catch the lock and open the door. Not a fun exercise, especially in the middle of winter. And this wasn't just a cold-weather problem, it continued to fail even as the temperatures warmed up. Clearly some internal part, maybe a spring or something, had deteriorated. Anyway, it was looking a bit worn after ten years use so I went ahead bought a new one on amazon for a very good price (for way less than what the big-box hardware store was asking). Took about 15 minutes to install. Easy. The new one appears absolutely indentical in every way to the old one, same design, parts etc., so I expect it to last at least as long as the old one. Time will tel!.

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.
