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

Easy install, works as advertised. Will purchase another one shortly.

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.

The product works as promised but it was a struggle to get there. I wanted a Bluetooth plus key plus keypad deadbolt to replacing an existing keyed deadbolt for less than $100 and this seemed to fit the bill.Initial install went fine but the lock needed to be removed and extended because the deadbolt didn’t slide smoothly. Then it needed to be removed again and slightly adjusted because the non-key (Bluetooth or code) wouldn’t close completely and gave a “jammed” message. Pressing close a 2nd time got the job done but I didn’t want this to be the normal use.I thought I was all done until I tried to use the lock button or the codes I created. No-go. Three calls to customer service during this time resulted in at least a 30 minute wait each time and no real help. They offered to send a replacement IF I would give them a credit card until they received the non-working unit or no credit card if I return the non-working unit. Not sure what they wanted me to use for a Door lock in the meantime. Reinstall my old one, I guess.They told me buying a second one from Amazon was a better solution and then I should return the “bad” unit to Amazon. I hope Amazon charges them to be their service center for returns.There was a suggestion on line about cleaning the connection with alcohol but there was nothing to clean. Examining the wire connection I observed that the relatively cheap wired connection was missing a “pin” on the male connector.The 2nd unit had no pin issues and install was quick and easy. Everything works as expected and the codes work, they light up and the lock button performs flawlessly.So, I believe it’s a good unit and will be the perfect solution for my door lock needs since once installed, the things I struggled with will never be an issue again.Finally, not sure why Amazon has “battery life” in the review. The lock is 5 days old, I hope the batteries don’t fail yet.

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.

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.

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