Works great
I likes the one I have on my house so much that my girlfriend had me install one at her house also. Your never locked out. Set up and programming is fairly easy once you figure the sequence out.

A High-Quality Secure Lock With Bad Written but Good YouTube Installation [except…]
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.

Smart Key and Smart Code are great tools
The Smart Key feature is a tremendous tool. I replaced every door lever in our home, every deadbolt, as well as adding 4 keypad locks. I was able to re-key every lock to my preferences, easy, smooth. It is secure and does not increase possibility of others to gain entry or change any keys. Reduces the need for multiple keys or having to call a locksmith. Most locksmiths are trusty but not all. The Smart Code keypads allow giving a code to someone who needs temporary access and can be easily deleted after their need is over.

Perfect! Easy to install and use!
Bought this to swap with our legacy deadbolt. Directions are easy to follow making it easy to install and setup, and it fit the existing hole. The ability re-key the lock to our current key was super easy as well. Perhaps a little more pricey than I expected but worth it in the end for the ease of use. Overall the lock looks and works great, and makes getting in/out of the house easier. Overall this purchase was well worth it.

Looks nice on the door
I installed this lockset to replace a standard deadbolt. The depth adjustment is just two ways and I unfortunately fell in between so it doesn’t sit straight on the outside. Other than that, it set up nicely to put in codes and works great right now

Easy to program and love the auto lock. A joy for rentals no keys to wag around
Used on rental property as well as my home. One use code comes in handy for maintenance projects. No keys to keep up with. Safer for renters just change and delete codes when they move.

Electronic issue
Purchased this is May of 2023 and by end of 2024 it started acting up. Stopped responding to lock button unless you entered code. It then just stopped working entirely. Called kwikset. They ran through three solutions. Concluded it was electronic so it was out of the one year warranty. While everything else for the lock is lifetime warranty. This door is outside but within a porch so it’s never wet, there is no damage to it. And it’s used probably every other day once or twice. Not a door that is used constantly. This seems ridiculous for it to barely make it a year before having issues and now have to buy a new lock entirely. When it was working it was great- easy to code and use. But not buying kwikset again when Schlage has three year electronic warranty.
