Kwikset 99420-002 Aura Bluetooth Programmable Keypad Door Lock Deadbolt Featuring SmartKey Security, Venetian Bronze

I was looking to upgrade from a simple deadbolt to a keypad so that I didn't have to bring my house key while exercising on trails near my house... one less thing to carry and worry about losing. At first I was looking at wi-fi smart locks, but I was turned off a bit by the reviewers that got a shock that the lock wasn't compatible with their routers. In researching it further, it seems the lock companies have a rather small list of compatible routers/modems and if you're using something else then who knows. I'm very diligent about locking the door on my way out, and I've never encountered a situation where unlocking my condo from my phone would be necessary. I liked the Bluetooth because I can still use the app to configure settings and program the keypad codes. If you have a maid or needed to give access to a visitor, you can still configure the keypad codes to only work on certain days/times or remove them if that person shouldn't get access. I guess if you're not home and wanting to set that up, then that's where you'd want wi-fi. I also liked this model for the real buttons. Some of my neighbors have the flat, shiny keypads where the numbers light up but aren't physical buttons. Just glancing over at them as I walk by, I can see certain areas are more smudged where the corresponding number must be part of their code. Also comparing the Kwikset to neighbors with other brands, the motor is relatively loud. I live in a condo where the hallways are all inside. I don't think it's unreasonably loud, but if I'm heading out very early in the morning or coming home pretty late at night, I use the key in case the noise would disturb my neighbors (probably not necessary, but I air on the side of trying to be considerate). Setup of the electronics and using the app was easy and intuitive. Install looked easy, but I did hire a locksmith. I'm not very handy and just decided to play it safe in case I encountered a problem. Watching the locksmith screw it into place in 10 min made me wish I'd gone for it myself and saved myself the $150 locksmith fee. I've had it for about 6 weeks and used the Duracell batteries it came with. So far, the app still says it's at 100% battery. I use the motor to lock/unlock 4-6 times per day. I don't know if the app will show the battery incrementally go down or if it will just be low all of the sudden, though. It doesn't seem like it needs much energy to operate the lock. So I'm not sure what to say in response to the reviewers complaining that the batteries drain every couple weeks... that's not my experience so far. I think if your main goal is to use a keypad to lock and unlock your house and aren't worried about checking or controlling the lock remotely or demanding ultra-quiet operation, then this Bluetooth Kwikset is a great solution.

Follow the instructions and it’ll work as advertised. Took only 30 minutes at most to install. The step-by-step instructions were very helpful. Love thr look, functionality, and it came with Duracell batteries so I don’t have to worry about the battery life. Great value for the money and even matches my door handle.

Bought this Programmable deadbolt lock to replace a similar product from another brand that fried a board after only 6 years. I have used the Kwikset smart lock feature on another house and was impressed, so thought to try it again. Installing the deadbolt and programming the new/old key was straight forward and easy when you follow the instructions provided. Now I don't have to throw all those duplicate keys out. That being said the instructions on calibrating and connecting to the keypad were lacking, and not as guiding or intuitive as I have found in other home automation products. Adding additional users was also required a bit of frustration as I had to Helen Keller around the app to get mobile phones to connect with the lock. I really couldn't tell you how I did it, but our phones are now connected and the lock operates without issue. Although it does take a while to connect when walking up to the lock to the point that you might as well punch in the combination when you get to the door. All in all I would still recommend this lock. Hopefully last longer than the last one.

This Kwikset keypad lock with Bluetooth has been one of the best upgrades we’ve made to our home. Installation was incredibly easy — it took less than 15 minutes with just a screwdriver, and the setup through the app was just as fast. The keypad works flawlessly, and the app makes it super convenient to add or remove user codes on the fly. We’ve used it to give temporary access to friends, family, and contractors without any hassle. Bluetooth connection is solid, and the lock feels secure and responsive. It’s a perfect balance of tech and simplicity. No need to mess with keys anymore — we just punch in a code or use the app. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a reliable, modern, and easy-to-manage smart lock.

Installation was simple and programming was easy

Can't download kwikset app here in New Zealand. Bought this item from amazon AU. is says app not currently available in you country or country

Vi comentarios de que la app no funcionaba en México y comencé a preocuparme pero cuando llegó no batallamos nada con el enlace de la app. La instalación fue muy sencilla, incluso intuitiva, no tuvimos que leer instrucciones o buscar más información en línea (que incluso si fuera necesaria al descargar la app viene un video de cada paso para la instalación). El emparejamiento bluetooth se hizo en menos de 2 min y ahora siempre puedo observar el resumen de las entradas y salidas (tanto manuales como las realizadas de manera remota). He quedado encantada, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Lo puedes controlar desde la aplicación (funciona por Bluetooth así que debes estar cerca) pero si quieres olvidarte de cargar llaves o recordar dónde las dejaste, este producto es ideal.

Très facile à installer , par contre aller download l’appplication de Weiser au lieu de celle mentionnée
