I bought the Schlage Connect Century Lock Deafold BE469 CEN 626 lock in the month of December 2016. The lock came without a lot of pieces: screws, mounting plate, master keys, battery cover.
In the month of January 2017 I tried to return the lock from Baranquilla Colombia, but this was not possible because the UPS mail does not receive it. Now in April 2017 that I can return it from Miami the Amazon page tells me that I can not return the lock anymore. This has been a real scam and I'm going to play stay with a lock that does not work at all.

The tailpieces are no what's pictured.  (false advertising?)  Instead of being able to slip 90 degrees, they are rigid to the lock.  This means you can't use a deadbolt lever or anything from the inside to lock the door.  The best you could do is lock the door from the outside, and lock anyone inside, in.  Useless for any Schlage lock I know of.  Avoid.

I bought this to rekey a few new Schlage deadbolts I recently purchased.  I was disappointed to find that the keys that came with this kit did not work for my new deadbolts (B60N622).  They were a different type of key.  I assume the "Type C" is a different version from what I needed, but there is nothing on the deadbolts indicating that they are a different type (Except maybe the part number).  Furthermore, I didn't see any other Schlage rekey kit so I'm not sure what I should have ordered.  We ended up tossing this in the trash and spending $100 to have a locksmith come by.

The instructions and Youtube videos were great and I have no doubt I would have been able to rekey these successfully, but never got that far. I took two stars off for the lack of clarity about what this product is used for or how to determine what 'Type' lock you have.

Lock arrived next day. I installed it. It indicated that I installed It wrong. Took it out put it back carefully following directions. Same problem. When the Schlage button is pushed, it unlocks, no code, no key. I would expect to come home one day with the door ajar and house empty. Do not trust this lock.

On Friday I received by Schlage deadbolt. After installation when I tested it I found that I wasn't able to lock it by pressing the Schlage button. I've gone through the troubleshooting steps, disabled / enabled the Turn Lock feature, and reinstalled many times. Finally I think this should be a defective one. Schlage asks customers not to return to the retailer, but their customer service was not available until Monday, so I asked Amazon for a replacement, and Amazon was able to deliver my replacement on Sunday - even before Schlage customer service's next business hour. I'm not sure how Schlage would handle this case, like how soon would they ship a replacement out, whether they'll ship a replacement before receiving my old one, whether they'll cover the two-way shipment costs, or whether they'll agree to ship me a replacement at all. So today I received my replacement from Amazon. After installing it I tested to make sure that the locking feature is working. However I found that it was able to be unlocked by simply pressing the Schlage button. Again I went through troubleshooting steps, reinstalled many times, nothing helps.

By comparing the in-door part of the two deadbolts, I figured out that the first one is missing the cam. Without the cam the deadbolt would think itself being in locked status forever and refuse to engage the extractor when pressing the Schlage button. I have yet found the issue with the second deadbolt but it could only be that either the signal wire is broken or that the switch failed to close when the deadbolt is locked.

Should I ask for another replacement? I guess not. This is a serious security product but it was made like a cheap toy. Now both units are packed and waiting to be dropped at UPS, and Schlage customer service has yet entered business hour. But that doesn't matter anymore because this has been a brand I'll never going to consider.

A few things upfront:  1) you will need a Phillips head screwdriver.  2) Do not try to do this with a power screw driver.  You will regret it. 3) I'm a fan of Schlage door hardware. Their products are handsome and sturdy. I installed a front door set on my home as well as both offices.  I also (about five years ago) installed a Schlage keypad on the back door of the main office after an ex-employees did not return his keys and I didn't want the bother of having to install new locks every time this happened.

New things about this keypad.  1) It has the built in alarm with several settings from only going off when someone tries to force an entry to beeping when anyone opens the doors.  2) I didn't have to connect the interior and exterior parts of the keypad with a wire as I had to do on the old keypad, which means that I didn't need a 3rd hand when installing. 3) There is no  way to leave the door permanently unlocked, it relocks a short time after the code has been entered on the keypad.

So this was more of an upgrade than a clean install. There wasn't anything wrong with the five year old keypad-- in fact it is still looking good and I'm going to move it the other office back door, I just couldn't resist the temptation to add an alarm to this door. A previous owner of the building had put up a horrid plastic Radio Shack thing that never worked right.

Everything except the Phillips head screw driver came in the box.  I uninstalled the old keypad/lock set and set it aside.  I pulled off a strip of masking tape and put it sticky side up on my work surface so I could lay the screws on it and not have them roll away.

Then I checked to make sure that the lever was turned the right way.  It wasn't.  There's a little tool with a loop on one end called a pinch wrench (provided) that you can slip into a hole on the outside plate at the bottom of the lever. The lever slides off and can be simply slid back on with the lever in the other direction.

I did not have to measure and cut for the strike plate, the old one was just fine.  I installed the latch with the slanted side facing the door jamb.  I then installed the (provided) batteries in the keypad.  The 9 v. goes in the exterior, two AAA go in the interior. Slip the Exterior keypad in place, it should slide smoothly into place.  Then install the inside lever, taking care to make sure that the screw holes match up. Make sure the lock is straight before tightening screws.  After the screws are tight check to make sure that the lock retracts properly when the provided default code is entered.  If it does you are done except for setting codes and the alarm as desired.

Took me about 15 minutes to install and part of that was removing the old hardware, checking the alarm and setting the entry code.

I purchased a 1800 directly from the company. The gear locks okay but then disengages and the gate moves freely. My technician tells me that the problem is in the clutch system and is a factory defect. I called the company and they referred me to their support department. This department never responded so  I am left with a machine stored in my room that each time I look at  it makes me angry. I own a few properties that require slide gate openers from time to time. I would be crazy to purchase their products with their don't give a damn attitude!!!!!! Amazon is a superb company so don't contaminate them.

I have used these locks on several houses and have always had good luck with them.
They look great, easy to install and are extremely convenient not only from personal daily use but also for using on rental properties.

BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I installed the most recent unit on the front door of my house.
So this is the only one I've personally have used on a daily bases over an extended period of time.
I came home one night and went to click 'Schlage' button to light up the keypad so i could enter my code.
However the moment I hit the top 'Schlage' button i hear the click noise that indicates I could turn the knob, so i did. And sure enough it let me unlock the door without enter my code.

The more i thought about it the more i though maybe i was losing my mind and that i had entered the code and there was nothing to worry about.
So from there on out every time i went to unlock the door i would hit the Schlage button to see if it would once again allow me to turn the deadbolt without entering my code.

For a week or two it was fine and i didn't have any issues.
Then last night, sure enough it happened again.
And i had my girlfriend with me that time who confirmed i wasn't crazy and it did happen.

This is very concerning not only for our safety but also for the safety of my other tenants.
I am at the point where I am highly considering removing all of the locks that I have installed and finding a safer product.

I would love a response from Schlage.

For myself , this lock was a little hard to install . The apartment was built in 1970 , and all the items are this old . Oh , well . It required a " wide door extension kit " . Once I had my " head out of the dash " , it was simple enough . Just measure the thickness of the door first . The lock itself ROCKS . This is the casual door lock you want . It is cheaper than Schlague and will change combinations . Why Schlague is still in business , I don't know .  JUST BUY IT AND ALL IS WELL .

The units that I actually ended up with are the L9050L.  The P series is a slight improvement over the L - the P series has an integral securing tab for the lock case where the L series has it as a separate piece and requires constant readjustment over time and use.
Out of the box the unit I had did not include the spanner wrench for tightening the locking collar on the inside lever.  I called Schlage at 800-847-1864 and someone answered immediately but that is where the fun ended.  I got shuffled through departments and finally put on hold. Hung up after ten minutes and tried again.  Same results... hung up after 15 minutes of ignore. Tried again.  This time the first thing out of my mouth was 'don't put me on hold again'.  Finally after threatening to return the items and buy Kwikset I got some help.
The product is good but not at the prices they ask.  The service .... well... good luck!
Oh - hint: the armor front screws have a tendency to fall out - I used Loctite but its a pain when you have to adjust the unit again.

I've had it for a month. Just had to change the batteries. I put new batteries in and went to add a code for out of town visitors to use. The code didn't work and wouldn't add. Great. So I did a full reset. The lock then stuck itself in the mode where it tests the deadbolt sensitivity needed. I now won't do anything.

This should have an app that I can use to set the codes. The batteries should last about 6 months or a year between needing changes. Overall, I'm pretty angry that I bought this.

This is a good lock if you want to manually enter codes, that part works. But I bought it for it's connectivity features. I would give it less than one star if I could. I tried 1000 times to get it to connect. It finally did, I don't know what i did different- i think it had something to do with the planets aligning more than anything I did. Then it sort of worked intermittently, mostly not.

I have a lot of experience installing and pairing things. I have an excellent internet signal at the lock, it is a static IP and not on a mesh router. This lock for this purpose is a piece of junk.

Finally arrived the other day a week after it was supposed to.  Not really a big deal as I wasn't in a hurry and it was Thanksgiving.  Anyway, opened it up today and all looks fine until I stand it up and try checking the locks.  Turns out two out the four locks do not work.  The lower left was stuck from the get go.  At least it was unlocked so could open the door.  The lower lock on the right opened at first.  I shut the door locked it, and tried to unlock it again and it stuck halfway so now can't open the door nor even get the key out.  Tried some WD40 and plenty of jiggling to no avail.  So returning and not too sure I want to get another though I seem to be the first to comment on this problem so maybe just a bad batch.

I had ordered a Schlage of a keyless type and I installed it quickly & easily. This one was a nightmare to install. The 2 screws that hold the 2 basic parts together we're just a tiny bit too short to go in easily. After 1 1/2 hours of trying to install the 2 screws, I gathered all parts & tossed everything in the trash. Went to a local Lowes & bought one similar (except for color) as the one I had easily installed before. After 20 minutes, I had installed the new one & it works great.

Everything  works fine, just no warning if your deadbolt is not fully open.( if its not fully out then you can just hit the schlage button to unlock it without code) So if you don't mind standing there for about 5 seconds every time you leave the house, to make sure its locked, than it works fine. I just wish there was maybe a light that showed when it was completely locked.

I was able to open the combo that was one the back, and then I followed the instructions to set my own combo.  However, what I put in was not what the lock remembered.  I bought this because I wanted something that was unique looking from the other locks, and I wanted something that was name brand. Please listen to all of the reviewers warnings on this product and AVOID IT

Lock works fine but it is a Fortress? Branded lock. Not a Master Lock
