December 2019: used for 6 months now and we absolutely love this door knob. It's easy to install and use and we have found it to be very secure. I haven't had any issues and have been using it for at least 6 months so far. I am actually using this on an exterior side door and I love that my daughter can get inside safely at night and quickly without fumbling for keys. The keypad lights up, you can program multiple access codes so everyone has their own and it's super easy to setup and install. I highly recommend it for both internal and external use (if it’s a covered area protected from rain/snow etc.) It's been great for us!! I’ll be sure to update along the way.***Update Edit***We have now been using this for quite a while now. The original purchase was July 2019,, installed upon receiving, and we still love it and have never had any issues at all with it and it’s now November 2023! We now use it on the small entry door that goes from our garage into the house. I absolutely love having the security of knowing even if someone gets in my garage, they won’t be getting inside my home. I highly recommend to anyone looking for something like this.To anyone having code issues: definitely read the instructions and if still having issues I’d refer you to go to the sellers website. This company makes a very wellMade product and is hey stand behind it as well.. so I guess we have been using it 4.5 years now and can tell you a couple things concerning codes: the code you received is your master code and should be changed to your own secure master code upon receipt. You should keep your master code safe and put away so as not to forget it and you shouldn’t use it as your daily use code. You should make daily use codes using the instructions provided. It’s very easy once you’ve done it a couple times. Also, I’ve seen some people say they put their backup key in safes or other safe places. You should carry this key on your key ring. Should your batteries ever fail, you’re gonna need it accessible and not locked away somewhere.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for my home office. It is installed on a standard door. I found it really simple to install and program. I have worked with tools my whole life so i found it easy and intuitive. Directions were not the best, in my opinion, but good enough to get someone through it with understanding of basic tools. It is slightly bulky and does not match the other handles in my house but the color was a close match. It keeps people out of my office which was the only expectation I had. I am not sure it would be sturdy enough for heavy use or maximum security. Currently it has become a great place to hide presents. I would definitely buy it again. Obviously it is a non “brand name” lock and hardware so it does not have the feel of some of the big brand names in this space. That is the only reason i chose 4 stars in those categories. I would definitely buy it again.

Great product, looks nice and feels sturdy. So far it has worked the way it should. Minus 1 star for installation instructions. I found the youtube video from a guy that shows you step by step installation instructions and honestly without it I would have struggled.

This is very easy to install and use. The backup key is great to have just in case the battery dies-which has not happened yet.

11 month Update:My lock has stopped working. All the lights work, it accepts the code, it clicks internally, but the handle keeps spinning and wont open the door. I now have to leave the emergency key in the lock all the time.Contacted the company thru customer service. Left a detailed message. They responded super quick, but unhelpfully. They said to go to their website and contact them outside of amazon. I immediatly did that. They have no contact page so I found their email address and left a second detailed message, referring to my prrviously (also) detailed message from amazon. They emailed me back yet again asking for even more information, stating they wont respond to any more emails without that information.This is information they apparently require, but didnt bother asking for until after contacting them multiple times. I could go ahead and do that, but i feel like im in return h@ll now. I fear I will send that information and then theyll ask me to email someone else and jump through another hoop and the stress vein in my forehead will pop.Nope, they win. They dont need to send me a replacement for their faulty device. They also wont be getting orders for locks for the rest of my house. Competitions thick, Ill be searching for another lock company to do business with. One that not only responds to problens quickly, but makes those responses meaninful instead of just tossing people from que to que. Time is money and spending an hour for a refund on a $50 lock, thats already not worth it.Original Review:This does exactly what it claims to do.I read the instructions, then I read them again, then I read them one last time. Then I followed along with them step by step to make sure I didnt mess up. Reading alot of reviews for similar locks people had really bad experiences, ones I had no intention of repeating.Anyways, I unscrewed and removed a pre-existing indoor lock, installed this lock in its place (no other modifications needed). I programmed it, tested the manual key, tested the code and it worked perfectly. It took me longer to study the instructions 3 separate times than it took to actually install the lock.Its been installed for about a month now. I've entered the code maybe 30 times and used the door handle 100 times. It seems like a quality product and expect it to last me a while. AND if it doesn't, well it was only $55 and there is the backup key hidden outside the locked area.All in all I'm very happy with the product and I anticipate buying a few more for my interior bedrooms before I head off on my yearly travel excursion (no need for a weekly cleaner or house sitter to be wandering around bedrooms).
