Review on 🔒 Kwikset SmartCode 917 Electronic Lever Deadbolt with Keypad Keyless Entry, Tustin Door Handle and SmartKey Security - Satin Nickel Finish by Jeff Jackson

I bought this product to replace the key handle on my indoor garage door. I've installed keyless products on other doors in my house (Schlege keyless deadbolts and Kwikset keyless motorized deadbolts) but this is the first product of this type I've used. Installation was very easy and the steel door entrance was perfect. This product also looks very nice and has a rather thin profile. Programming according to the instructions was very easy and took less than 30 seconds. I really like how you can set it to auto-lock so I can leave the house through the garage and not remember if I've closed the door behind me when I get home, and also when I do straight in and out, I can adjust it high enough to keep it unlocked by simply flipping a latch-like lever on the inside of the handle. It's also great not to worry about carrying around a bunch of keys. The lock is easy to use even for my kids. So if they are playing outside and need something to escape, they can just enter the code to get inside. I like the Kwikset versions of these electronic locks more than the Schlage ones. Products I have used because they can also be opened with a traditional key (my lock requires a "start" with a 9V battery when the battery is dead).
