After years of a old door and crappy lock. We could not be more excited at the prospect of getting a digital lock with multi codes function for the kids.
Pros = Most of all controllable by Z Wave technology !!! Able to allow entry via phone to the UPS guy, Pet sitter, Neighbors wanting to borrow something while away and so on. Install a web cam with a speaker and you can see who just rang your bell and decide to let them in or not. How sweet is that.. !!! No more locked out kids due to loss of keys.. that alone is worth it. Rekey option on this set is easy as well....
In our case we combined it with a Kwikset lock lever that matched up very very well. Due to our outside door being brown and interior very light.. we had to buy double of everything. All in all I think it turned out very professional and modern , clean looking.
Cons
Batteries wear down very quickly if you use the auto lock function. If you use the manual then it is okay.. however to switch from auto to manual requires the removal of the interior top .. a bit of a hassle .. would have been nice to switch from auto in wk to manual on weekends when we are in and out allot.
The Venician Bronze finish (exterior in our case) does not hold up well to scratches, from rings keys etc.
The Brushed Nickle interior cover is not as show in photos .. it is not all nickle. .the interior top part you pull off to change the batteries is now black. Which I am not so fond of. As you can see with a Natural finish Oak door .. the black really stands out on the interior of the door. So the picture on the ad / site did not match what I received in the mail.. a big no no in my book.

I have long been a fan of Kwikset due to the affordability and good quality.
Not to mention their customer support is top rate.
Amazon had the best price on this item for sure. And you get it fast. Most Box Stores needed 2 wks for a Special order item such as this.

I would not recommend this set if harsh exposure to elements either heat or snow.. I do not feel it would hold up well. I have seen then at different houses and the Bronze does not look nice after about 1 yr. We have a large overhang with a canopy of trees for protection.. and out lock never sees snow or rain.

Can't comment on others experiences but, my family and I really like this lock.

The lock looks exquisite.
I have mine setup on z-wave with a repeater close to the lock. As well, I have my system set to only "ping" the lock when in use.  Multiple 'pings" or requests for status drain the battery.
Our family has had this lock since Dec 1 and we use it 10-15 times per day and battery life remains very strong. (will update if it changes)
We found it best to set the master code in the lock then program user codes through our security app. (This is a recommended security feature).

I own this and some the Schlage z-wave deadbolts. This Kwikset is ideal when you don't want or need a standalone deadbolt. I really like the design of it. Very easy super easy to replace the batteries, and I like it even better than the schlage models in this regard.  My only complaint is the instructions, as they didn't really match the device and I had to experiment an extra few minutes to get it pair to my hub.

I've had this Yale z-wave deadbolt for six months and it has worked flawlessly. I was trying to decide between this one and the Kwikset z-wave deadbolt but ultimately chose the Yale one because it provides a watertight-lip seal around the unit outside and inside the door. I live in Chicago, and the snow, wind and rain can do a number on outdoor electronics. I also like that the deadbolt is motorized, and I have been able to unlock the door for guests when I'm out of town.

We purchased our first Schlage keyless entry lock a few years ago so that we wouldn't need to bring a long a key or garage door opener when going out for a walk or bike ride.  Since then we have purchased several more as gifts.  These also work great for rental properties as you can easily change the code in between tenants.  It also works nice to keep an extra temporary code in there that you can give to the plumber, cable installer, etc when they are going to be in your house and you don't want to have to take off of work to let them in.

These are the 10th through 13th Schlage Z-Wave locks that I've installed. Previously, the mechanical installation was perfect with no problems. The Nexia bridge sometimes had trouble accessing the locks but  after finding the lock, there is almost never a communication problem. My main problem with the last 2 of the 4 locks were that the screws and receiving plate of the  outside portion of the lock were such that if I didn't have a tapping tool I would have never been able to install these locks. They were either over zinc-ed or possibly poorly tapped to where it was impossible to thread the bolts into the outside portion of the lock. Hopefully that at $200 a crack, Schlage will work a little better on their quality control.

Other than that, these are a very handy and versatile lock, which along with the Nexia system make an affordable keyless system to access and monitor the security of our home.

We had been looking for a double lock set for our front door that had a latched lower piece instead of the traditional knob on both sides.  Most were only offered by Baldwin and were way too expensive.  We stumbled on this by Kwikset.  The color options were good.  We picked the one that matched the brushed oil appearance of the lamps on the front entrance.

Installation was easy.  The guide was very good.  Re-keying was also a snap.  The bold look of the finish really accents our door.  Most importantly the solidness of the construction makes us feel a bit more secure.  Would definitely recommend this lock.

love it!  this model is not available in the stores, only on-line.  it has the z-wave technology which is what i was looking for so.  i have it integrated with my home security system.

This is a great lock. I like the 4 numbers - harder to figure out the combination. It operates smoothly, was easy to set the combination and so far is very reliable.

We really like having locks that are not the coiled type for locking items other than just bicycles.  These are easy to use and have been durable so far.  We use four of them and lock and unlock them every single day.  Exact length we needed.

We bought these to install on the door between our house an garage.  We wanted a wave handle so it would be easy to open with a laundry basket or box in your hands, so this was exactly what we were looking for.  In SmartKey technology is fabulous--we can key both of these to be identical to other locks so we only have to have one key.  Far cheaper than calling a locksmith.

The install was quite easy--probably half an hour, which includes the time it took us to quibble about the best way to chisel out the necessary holes on the door and door frame (both were new, so this was the first time a lock set had been installed).  I imagine if you were replacing an existing lock, it would be about 10 minutes.

They coordinate nicely with all the Venetian bronze and oil rubbed bronze fixtures you can find on the market. Great buy!

I've had this for over a year now, and I still really like it.  The door on which it's installed is half glass, so obviously security was NOT my first concern, but it's as resistant to picking and forcing as most other consumer deadbolts.

To me, though, the bigger security risk with a regular deadbolt is all the times you have to either hide a key or give a key to someone -- the dog walker, the cleaning lady, your in-laws, the plumber, etc, etc.  This lock is great because it's simple to create new passcodes for people, AND to delete them when they're done.  And (if you're using z-wave) you can even restrict passcodes -- so the cleaning lady has a code that will only work on Wednesdays, and the in-laws can't come in at 2:00 AM!

The battery life seems very reasonable to me.  After the factory batteries died (quickly, obviously), I've only had to change them one other time in the past year.  So over 3 months per set?  They're pretty easy to change so that seems good to me.

Lastly, another feature that you get with z-wave -- you get stuck late at work and Fido is waiting at home to go out.  You call your neighbor and ask her to let him out, and then use your iPhone app to unlock the door for her.  Crisis averted!

We've had this system for 6 months now. I researched for a long time before deciding on this one. We even tried a subscription alarm company. I love being able to control the alarm from my phone. I'm also glad we didn't keep the professionally monitored system because we tend to accidentally set this off fairly frequently. The best features are the push notifications when the doors are opened/closed and the camera. We keep one remote in the car and one in the main living area to turn the system on and off. We have the motion sensor in the garage. We're going to add a second camera.

Great lock.  We bought it for our 9 yr old and she finds it easy to use.  Love how simple it is to change the combination too.

The person we bought hour house from had this exact lock installed with matching hardware.  He couldn't have possibly played it up more once we were moving in.  Obviously, we needed to replace the lock, as that's what you do when you move into a new home, so we figured we'd buy the same model, to make installation a breeze.

It took about ten minutes to install, and it works great.  Being able to add and subtract key codes is a great feature, but the process is a bit heavy to go through off the top of your head.  You'll want to save the instructions in a safe place.  Keep in mind that the instructions have your lock's code on them, which can lead to someone calling Schlage and getting keys made.  Otherwise, the master code is also inside the lock on the inside-side of the door.

It's great to come home and not have to fish for keys, especially when you have bags, boxes, or kids in your arms.  If you press the Schlage button, the keypad lights up, and then you put in your code, and twist the lock.  That's it.  To lock the door when outside, you simply hit the Schlage button and turn the lock to a lock position.

I would definitely recommend this lock to someone.

Reliable lock and installation is a breeze.

I replaced my old school Schlage lock with this and the installation is easy, make sure you go to their website and measure if the placement of your current lock is suitable for this lock though.

The lock is packed with features -- auto lock, key, keypad, user codes. It's even more useful with z-wave hubs (bought a wink hub gen 1 for ~$30) with which you could enable remote controls.
