SmartCode 260 Keyless Entry Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Door Lock with Auto-Lock, Custom User Codes, Advanced Security in Venetian Bronze Traditional

Super sleek modern style in the matte black finish, easy to install, LOVE being able to add so many codes! You can make permanent or temporary codes to suit you!

Overall, a real value for the buck. Easy to install. I did three. It took 15-20 minutes for the first one—mostly reading instructions and watching KwickSet's Iinstall video over coffee—and around 5 minutes for the others. Good looking, at once updating my 1920s bungalow while blending into the vintage esthetic. Smooth operation. And secure. Five stars, but I'm tempted to shave-off a star for poor instructions regarding re-handing a lock. See below for details. Re: security. Most equivalently-priced deadbolts at my hardware and big-box stores were less secure, rated as ANSI level. These Kwickset SmartCode 260 locks are locksmith-worthy ANSI level 2 locks. Finding Level 2 locks in the big-box was a bit of a joke, though, since no worker had a clue. Though I found a Schlange whose packaging declared "Level 2" for $200. My local hardware store was more helpful and had a similar level 2... but on sale for $130 ($170 regular price). * INSTALL NOTE. Watch Kwickset's YouTube install video. It takes but a minute since the written instructions were tough to follow with printing too small for my late-50's eyes. HOWEVER... There is no description of re-handing the lock if you need to, be try not to power-up the lock before it is installed since it automatically determines hand. And changing hands it NOT discussed. I learned this the hard way with my third and final install. The last lock was the one I'd been messing around with as I followed the install video, resetting entry codes, etc. with batteries in. I installed it physically without a hitch, but it was electronically wrong-handed, meaning that hitting "lock" unlocked it. Since the other two I'd installed earlier handed themselves automatically, I was at a loss. Since re-handing was not covered in the manual or videos for this model, I thought I had a defective unit. I called, but Kwikset was closed for Thanksgiving. Not one to give up I installed and re-installed it four times, following along with the YouTube install video for the final two. The result was always the same. So my initial five-minute install grew to over 90 minutes. Frustrating! And then, after giving up and re-installing the old deadbolt, I noticed "reset" and "change hand" codes in fine print, hidden in a chart showing "How To Program The Lock" while eating dinner. So after dishes, I took out the old manual bolt... AGAIN!... reinstalled the final electronic deadbolt... FOR THE FIFTH TIME!... and entered the "factory reset" code. And Finally, the thing worked, automatically handing itself when I entered the set-up sequence. A lot of frustration could have been avoided if handing had been covered since I know I'm not the only person this is going to happen to. Still, since this was my fault, I'm not taking off on the review since I'm well aware that I'm a sort of "Ready.... Fire.... Aim" sort of guy.

My Kwikset SmartCode 260 came in a contractor's generic box but no biggie. Installation was very easy as I was replacing an existing Kwikset regular keyed lock so all holes were in place plus I got to reuse my doorframe strike plate without drilling new holes. Recommend you have a small level on hand so your rectangular electronic lock is parallel to your door, both inside and outside, after installation. If you are setting the auto lock minutes and wondering why it doesn't autolock after X minutes, remember to enable the feature first. Ask me how I know! Appreciate the fact that it uses only 4 AA batteries vs. another brand (starts with letter "P") using 8 AA batteries. Battery life for this set TBD but it's not Wi-Fi connected anywhere so I'm expecting it to last at least 12 months per Kwikset sales. Very happy with my purchase and you will be too.

I wish it could give this a 4.5. My first attempt at installing it took well over an hour and it still didn't work correctly so I removed it. A few days later I found YouTube video that differed slightly from the written instructions and after watching it a couple times I had it installed and functioning in less than 30 minutes.

This works great! It locks and unlocks quickly! Very easy to install!

This lock is a Very good product, easy to install, very convenient to use, keyless entry. Rekey able too

This lock only lasted a month. Then it jammed. It wouldn't open or close. The dead bolt itself worked. But not the automatic lock feature. I put in fresh batteries. Took it off and remounted it and still the same. Now the reason I bought this was to replace a Kwikset 913 Smartcode Traditional Electronic Deadbolt Which I purchased in 2019 which lasted me over six years. Would not recommend.

This lock was so easy to assemble! Works so well no problems so far. Love that it holds so many codes and can auto lock is you want or you don’t have to set it to auto lock!

Muy práctica y funciona bien. Baterías fáciles de cambiar

Work smoothly and perfectly

Funciona muy bien, se instala fácil y aunque no ofrece algunas funcionalidades, es suficiente por el precio.
