Kwikset Powerbolt 250 10-Button Keypad Satin Nickel Transitional Electronic Deadbolt Door Lock, Featuring Convenient keyless Entry, Customizable User Codes and auto Locking

Ease of installation: I am not the best nor the worst at installing things around the house. I was expecting this to be a headache, but after watching some videos, I had this one set up within an hour. Reliability: It has worked every day since installation, with one minor hiccup in the first few days, where it would not open. I ended up having to use my key in that instance. The lockout may have been caused by my child repeatedly hitting the wrong buttons as she tried to let us in. I recommend keeping the key with you as a backup. Battery life: It is still working after a few months without issue. I will update my review if it suddenly stops working. Again, keep your key with you just in case. Verdict: The Kwikset Powerbolt 250 has been a game-changer for my family, and I only wish I had thought to install one sooner. It has made getting in and out of the house way less of a pain, especially at night. The buttons light up, making fumbling for a key a thing of the past. My six-year-old daughter knows the code as well, and she enjoys opening the door for us. My wife and daughter went for a walk the other day while I worked in the backyard, and they didn't feel the need to carry their keys, knowing they could easily get back in, and I had my key in the backyard as a backup. There is a function to add a one-time code for someone making a delivery or doing work on your home, but I have not tried that yet.

For the past 10 years, I have used similar Kwikset locks on 4 of my outside doors and they have proven very reliable. About 6 months ago, added this one to door #5 and it works just as well as the others with the added benefit of being a little smarter/easier to set up, and needing one less button to push to operate it. As well, the mechanism is noticeably faster to lock/unlock. [FYI: if you use the recommended ordinary alkaline batteries, they will last about 2 years. If you try rechargeables (like I did) they last about 2 months. I have no idea why.]

We bought three of these after staying at an airbnb a month ago. We loved it so much we bought one for all our doors. Two worked fine, one didn't work correctly. Of the two that worked, they were easy to install, easy to program and they are so easy to use. It was also easy to rekey one to the other, so we only need one key, just in case the battery dies or it malfunctions. Anyway, a nice upgrade to our old locks, almost like we're in the 21 century. Only got 4 stars because we had to send one back.

Easy to install and the ability to key match with my existing locks was great. Unfortunately, had to reseat the system and re-setup the codes as the lock went off calibration for no reason and the bolt would not fully extend or retract.

La instalación es fácil, pero no sirve, los botones no suenan, el botón principal no enciende. Lo tuve que devolver.
