However, please note that I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. go with and from there. This was what I wanted as Kwikset key blanks are easy to get or make additional keys. So let's look at the pros and cons of this lock. What's in the box? Almost all the details you need are included. The only exception is the presence of a round latch and a latch hole. Full detailed instructions in English and Spanish. smart key tool. This is the case if you already have a Kwikset mortise lock with more than two keys. You can change your Aura Key to use (only) existing Kwikset Keys. We chose this as we have 10 people with a front door key and it was easy to re-lock the existing keys. Installation template for new doors. QR code to download the app (required for Bluetooth passcode assignment) Installation time: It took me about 20 minutes to change the lock and install the app. This is more when you are installing a new door and not only need to cut a hole in the door but also need to hollow out the hasp. I used an existing door so this was not a problem. A NOTICE. This ONLY applies to doors that have a separate door handle and latch. If you have a padlock, mortise lock or built in hasp/button for access this lock set is not for you. After installing the lock and making sure it works, use the QR code to download the Kwikset app onto your smartphone. Liked: Easy to install 20 minute fire rating Everything was included, including batteries. You can assign up to 250 user codes with access restrictions. Anytime, once, on time. It's also easy to clear the code, e.g. B. when there is a change of housekeeper. One touch lockAutomatic lock. You can set the block to block again after x seconds. Low battery warning.

Multiple locks can be paired with the app. Statistics show when and by whom access to the castle was gained. (Must be in bluetooth range to get stats from lock) Traditional key. Although it's an electronic lock, I recommend you carry the key with you in case the batteries die while you're away, as this will keep the lock in the last position (locked/unlocked) it was in. with weak batteries. Simply reset the key with the included smart key tool. I only had to remap it once and all 10 existing buttons work. KWIKSET KEYS ONLY. What I didn't like: Installation and configuration of the application. I had to do 3 separate checks before the app thought it was installed. Then you have to add each user and to make them admins they have to send them an email invitation. My wife and I are the only admins, but I had to send her an invite. Damn! After that it was easy to add a user and assign a code. Aura does NOT currently work with Google Home or Alexa but I think they are working on it. I'm not deducting a star for that. I understand security issues. Overall, I like this product for its ease of installation and use. I like that I can be in the car, send an unlock signal and just get in and then it will lock again behind me. Here is a partial list of phones AND tablets that the Aura app works with. My Android wasn't listed but still worked: Compatible with Apple iPhone 6, Apple iPhone 6S, Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPhone 7S, Apple iPhone 7 Plus, Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone X, Apple iPhone XS, Apple iPhone XS, Apple iPhone XS Max, Apple iPad Air 2, Apple iPad ProLG G7 ThinQ, Google Pixel 2XL, Google Pixel 3, Google Pixel 3a, Google Pixel 3XL, Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung Galaxy Edge S7, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy S9 plus, Samsung M30, OnePlus 6, Motorola Moto X, Xiaomi Pocophone F1. So if you are looking for security and peace of mind, this product will help you find some of it. I have a friend who is a locksmith who came to try to break in or hit him. He couldn't pick it with a set of picks, and even with an electronic pistol it took him almost 10 minutes to get the pins moving properly. He has given the lock an A+ rating in his opinion and has been a licensed locksmith for over 30 years. That's enough for me to recommend buying it. live to read my review.
