Great lock, as long as you can deal with the noise.

Love the lock, it's pretty loud, though. I have mixed feelings about this. If I could give 4.5 I would. The sound of the lock can get aggravating BUT I think you'd want that because this way you will know if someone unlocks the door. Personally, I have it connected to the lights inside the house so as soon as the door unlocks the light over the door lights up, this way you never walk into a dark house. Ultimately if you are looking for an inexpensive lock that can be connected to smart things this is the one for you.

I like this a lot, but wish I could change the code on the lock.

It does the job, but it rattles which can be a bit annoying until you get used to it and are able zone it out.

The saw the screw lock works, the pins fall about 6 times per turn. And you have to turn it many times to take the lock off. If you are picking the lock, you have to pick it about 30 times to take it off. Thats great!

It feels like a strong enough lock. I REALLY wish there is less space between the lock and pin shaft. Tons of room for a pry bar to test the threads on the screw lock. Thats why im deducting one star. Fill the space with metal washers (preferably stainless steel) to avoid that problem. I threw in a rubber grommet for noise reduction.

guys remember this thing is kinda on the larger side in terms of length. i made the mistake of buying this one instead of a smaller one. all in all its a great lock to use when you're making a quick stop to the store or stopping by a friends house. however i would not recommend leaving your bike outside locked to some place overnight because of the world we live in. honestly hate it when people blame locks for their loss of their bike. its like did you expect no one to try and steal it .

Easy to install, works well. Door will stay put once magnets attach. My only gripe is it makes a loud noise when the magnets attach, so if you're trying to be quiet at night this might be a nuisance.

I installed this lock in a back door. Price was a factor. I would not have chosen the oiled bronze finish for a white wood door but it's on an enclosed porch...so who cares? (And the price for this finish was a lot lower than for other finishes.) also recognized the Kwikset brand. It installed easily after removing the existing deadbolt lock. An unexpected surprise is that it relocks itself after about 30 seconds. There are programming adjustments that can be made but I kind of like that feature.
I installed this lock so I don't have to carry keys with me when I walk my dog.

Excellent Lock, but it's a bit short, making it difficult to lock my bike. The bike has to be perfectly positioned next to a pole or sign post in order for the lock to fit - which is often a problem in NYC.  I understand that the shorter design makes grants security (less leverage for bike thieves in attempting to break it off). But I sometimes carry my other, larger Kryptonite as well, so that I can actually lock my bike, and this becomes a backup.

NOTE: I am writing this review for all the different versions of this lock that I purchased and had to replace.  So, please excuse me if you see it more than once.  But, since I didn't know where folks would start, I figured it was best to include it in all places to be safe.

It looks like a lot of people have had luck with this lock (though I'm curious to know what people think or if they have had similar problems after owning it for a while). And, there are definitely some nice things about the lock:  they look nice, come in several finishes, and the SmartKey idea seems like a good one.  But, I had bad luck with mine, and if you read other Amazon reviews and things folks have written on various other web sites, you'll see the problem I have had is not an isolated one. If you do decide to give this lock a try, be sure to at least read the negative reviews so you'll have some idea what might happen (though it clearly doesn't happen to everyone).

I have 5 doors to my house that require both handle and deadbolt locks (that's 10 locks total, including 4 of this set and on of this set&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kwikset-992-Juno-Entry-Knob-and-Double-Cylinder-Deadbolt-Combo-Pack-featuring-SmartKey-in-Satin-Nickel/dp/B004EPYSH8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kwikset 992 Juno Entry Knob and Double Cylinder Deadbolt Combo Pack featuring SmartKey in Satin Nickel</a>). I also have three security/screen doors that require both handle and deadbolt locks (bringing the total to 16 locks... though I purchased the screen door locks in this finish since the doors themselves are brown:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kwikset-980-Double-Cylinder-Deadbolt-featuring-SmartKey-in-Antique-Brass/dp/B002EDGQTU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kwikset 980 Double Cylinder Deadbolt featuring SmartKey in Antique Brass</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Kwikset-Lido-Entry-Lever-featuring-SmartKey-in-Antique-Brass/dp/B001AY891C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Kwikset Lido Entry Lever featuring SmartKey in Antique Brass</a>). I rekeyed the 10 regular door keys to one SmartKey (having read they don't work with regular store cut keys), and the 9 screen door locks to another SmartKey (9 instead of 6 since three of these locks were double cylinder).  I was careful to make sure I did everything correctly and constantly when I installed them, and everything was fine for the first few months suggesting I didn't do too bad of a job.

Then, little by little I noticed some of the locks stopped working with the key, and it was very random.  Some were the main door locks that used one key, others were the screen door locks that used the other key.  Some were the deadbolt locks, and some were the handle locks.  In one instance one side of a double cylinder kept working even though the other side of the double cylinder stopped working.  I actually got locked out of my front door a couple of times and had to come in through a back door.  By the time my third or fourth lock stopped working, I called Kwikset and they sent me replacement and equivalent traditional locks to replace the SmartKey locks with (for which I am very grateful, but that's 16 locks that I had to replace two times each, which took quite a bit of time).

In sum, this technology seems unreliable at best, and at a minimum I recommend that you NOT do all of your doors with SmartKey locks (just so you know you'll have one traditional lock that will always work). I would also not recommend doing your double cylinder doors with SmartKey locks as the only thing worse than getting locked out would be getting locked in during an emergency.

I bought several of these locks to secure my kayak, canoe and motorboat after someone stole my canoe right out of my backyard.  The big advantage of this lock is that the cable can slip through a small opening, like a dock cleat or the pre-drilled hole in the bow of my kayak.  The locks worked fine for the first year, but after a year of being outside the lock corroded to the point where I couldn't even insert a key in the lock. No amount of WD-40 or Liquid Wrench would loosen it up so I was forced to cut the cable. That leads to the next concern.  Using nothing more than pliers and my long-handle garden pruners, I managed to gnaw my way through the cable in about 15 minutes.  I would imagine that with better tools the cable could have been cut much quicker, so it's not a high-security device; I think it would provide a reasonable deterrent though for all but the most determined thieves.

The review of these really depends on what you're using them for... I'm mixed because they're really easy to install, work well, and add a very cheap but nice touch of home security. Especially when you consider the hundreds of dollars and subscription fees from other options, these are fantastic.

However, they are overly sensitive and not very loud. I was most excited to put them on our large sliding glass door, but it takes some real effort to close it without setting these off. Also, they're just a little too wide to open and close the door over on the non-opening side.

Finally, they're quiet... if you're home you will be alerted reasonably well, but don't expect any neighbors or passing police to hear or do anything. The alarm shuts off and stays off after ringing for 30 seconds. So just know what you're getting and why you're getting it.

Looks nice, but obviously you will need a lock, and it rattles a bit. Overall I am pleased with it.

Rattles, at high speed. Lock down screw hard to loosen. Does what it's designed for.

It's a handsome door lock and is working very well with my Veralite. I couldn't quite understand the directions for the built in alarm and it tends to go off when someone knocks on my door, which is very annoying for me and the person I'm trying to talk to since I can't figure out how to turn it off.

For those that reported that the lock didn't work from the beginning or left them stranded, I received the lock and it worked the first time I tried it but it wouldn't open after that. What happens is there are 7 plates that rotate in the lock and sometimes one of these gets out of alignment and the key won't go all the way in but will still rotate.  you have to turn the key slightly once inserted and apply downward pressure and you can force the out of aligned disc to rotate back into alignment, it might take a few tries.  Other than that annoyance it is a superb lock for the price and is excellent in a layered security system.

This alarm volume is pretty extreme and does not seem to be adjustable. This is pretty unfortunate because I want to test it out before putting it into full use. As someone living in a town home with immediate neighbors, I really dread the idea of this thing accidentally getting set off by "heat waves" as they warn about, by my cats, or by myself before I get used to having it.

That said, it seems to have all the other features I could want. Its a simple self contained alarm system that simply triggers an alarm based on various sensors you can use. I personally got two door sensors and one motion sensor. They all seem to work perfectly. The key fob is perfect as well and serves to help safely arm and disarm the device. I don't like that it makes an incredibly loud ass beeping noise when you do so as it seems a bit excessive. At least that seems to be something you can disable through the on board switches.

I think this lock offers a great amount of security, but dang- it sure is heavy to lug around.  I need to figure out how to use the bracket that allows you to mount it to the frame.
