Review on Schlage FE575 PLY 626 ELA by Justin Dorsett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Easy installation, looks good, works well.

It was really easy to install and solved some problems for us. I was looking for a wi-fi enabled lock but figured with so many standards and ongoing internet security issues we weren't quite there yet. First, we don't like the idea of hiding the key from the outside. Everyone does it and everyone knows everyone does it, so it doesn't seem very safe. Second, my son loses his keys. A lot of. Or forget. Now it doesn't matter. Just enter the code and the door will open. Easy! Third, when we travel we hire dog sitters and before we had to figure out how to get them the key. Now we can just share the code. And if we want to remove or change this code when we get home, we have the option. The lock is easy to use, works with the key when the battery dies (we installed it for about a year and it still works). while he grows strong). That looks good too. We are also considering installing one on another door. I recommend a cordless drill for installation as I think it would be a hassle with a screwdriver. But it was easy to set up, and creating a new passcode was easy too.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Modern
