Halo Touch Satin Nickel Contemporary Fingerprint WiFi Electronic Smart Lock Deadbolt Featuring SmartKey Security

Better battery life.. yes i was buying lithium energizer would last 60 days and be depleted. And it was only me using door. Twice a day. Come in go out for work.. no more. But i hope kwikset fixed this problem.. i suggest they make one for rechargeable batteries with a solar front cover. To keep batteries charged.. idea 💡 i too had hard time fingerprints reading. But my son show me .if u do it like your phone finger print steps it works better. And it worked. it works evertime.Tech is patience

We had to drive to 3 different home depots to track this lock, but it was totally worth it. Easy to install and sync to our phones (Android) . We were even able to link it to Google home. We're very happy with this purchase.

This lock was not so large due to no key pad. HARWARE Installation was easy. System set up took a few attempts. The only criticism is the sound is loud. My prior lock was a Eufy, and it was not so loud. The Kwickset app did not have great ratings, time will tell.

This was very easy to install. Easy to set up touch but right now I’m struggling with getting it to unlock when the door is actually closed. I think I might be able to get it to work but four stars just because of the struggle.

fingerprint detector works great, no hub needed, app is cool. can add up to 50 ppl.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kwikset totally knocked it out of the park with this deadbolt! It works so well, is very responsive, and connects to my Google home assistant flawlessly. Install went very fast – the instructions were clear and concise. The only problem I ran into was that our 1960’s door was slightly too thin! We used shims for now because we are replacing this door in the next few weeks. But if you have an older door, check that out before you purchase. What is weird is our previous deadbolt was a Kwikset touchscreen lock so I didn’t even consider this might be a problem. Your door should be 1-3/4” to 2”, and they sell a kit for doors thicker than that. Setup went flawlessly with the app, connected to my Wi-Fi, and got my family members’ fingerprints all set up with the lock. I then connected to my Google Home and can now lock and unlock my door with my voice! My favorite part is the fingerprint reader works so well – we have had zero issues with it recognizing our fingerprints. It works better than our cell phone fingerprint reader! It also locks and unlocks instantly once you touch the pad, no wait and no delay. You can store up to 50 different fingerprints in your account. The only thing is if you want to use this lock to let in a pet sitter, guest, or handyperson, you would need to meet with them in person to set up their fingerprint first. There is no way to add someone’s fingerprint remotely, so this probably would not be a good lock for an AirBnb where someone needs access and you aren’t there with them. Love love love it!!!

The Kwikset Halo Touch is at best a work in progress. When I got this lock I thought it was going to be a great addition to my home, but unfortunately it has several shortcomings that make it mediocre at best. I'll go over the good points first, then the bad. INSTALLATION: The lock comes well packaged with clearly marked parts compartments and great instructions. The hardware installation took about 10 minutes. The motorized deadbolt will need to operate without obstruction, if it rubs the doorframe you will need to adjust your door in order for it to operate properly. The software was straightforward and had good instructions. Adding the lock to my account and adding three users took about 20 minutes. The fingerprint enrollment process requires you to place your finger on the sensor three times in order to get a good read. All of the fingerprint info is stored in the lock itself and not in the app or in the cloud. If you have more than one of these locks you will need to enroll everyone on each lock separately, there is no way top copy users between locks. OPERATION: The lock responds immediately to a finger placed on the sensor. There is no perceivable delay between finger placement and the door unlocking. No internet connection is required for the lock to work, so it will function during a power failure or internet outage. To lock the door you simply touch the sensor with any finger. Anyone can lock the door whether enrolled or not. This can be a bit annoying if you bump the sensor with your finger while closing the door and it locks when you don't want it to. You can set the lock to lock automatically after a delay between thirty seconds and ten minutes. It integrates with Alexa so you can lock & unlock the door just by using your voice. Anyone can lock the door, but to unlock it first you need to enable voice commands in the Alexa app and enter a four digit code. You then speak the code when prompted to unlock the door. THE BAD: This lock eats batteries faster than cookie monster can eat a plate of cookies. The original four alkaline AA batteries that came with the lock lasted about a week. I replaced the batteries with four lithium AA batteries. I thought I'd be good for about six months. I was wrong. About three weeks later the lock stopped opening, even though the battery level in the app said 60%. I checked the batteries with a tester and two of the four were almost completely dead and the other two were weak. At this rate the lock will cost over $50 a year in batteries if you use lithium. I have opted to use NiMh rechargeable batteries. I have only been using them for several days so I can't say how long they will last. MORE BAD: If your hands are even the slightest bit damp or wet you can forget about getting into your house. Make sure you have your phone with you so you can use the app to unlock the door. The app can take about 15 seconds to respond when unlocking or locking the door, so if its pouring rain you'll be soaked before the door opens. EVEN MORE BAD: The app service has gone offline at least twice that I am aware of in the month I have had this lock. This means that if you can't open the lock with your fingerprint you won't be able to open the lock with the app either. You'll be locked out unless you have your key with you. My wife was locked out of the house twice since I installed this lock. Let's just say she was less than pleased. We have both resorted to carrying the key, just in case. My previous lock was a Schlage electronic door lock. It wasn't connected to the internet, required you to type a 4 digit code and turn the deadbolt manually. The single 9v lithium battery lasted over a year and no one was EVER locked out of the house. I never carried the key, heck I don't even know where the key to that lock is. I really wanted to love this lock, but as mentioned above it has many shortcomings that make it less than ideal as a lock for your home, unless you like standing out in the rain and spending your hard earned cash on batteries. I'd definitely not recommend this lock because of these issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this really nice Kwikset Halo touch fingerprint lock in the mail and it is the best security lock I have ever had. It’s finger print feature is absolutely the best and will hold up to 100 fingerprints and also has a key lock for added security in case something goes wrong with the touch pad. It is really made well and we love the black color. You can also operate the lock from the app which is a very nice feature for safety. It has a rekey feature to prevent from breaking. It is also pick resistance from thief’s trying to pick the lock. This is a very nice product and will definitely use again if needed.It is also very easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best smart think I have added to my house to date!! It is so easy to install. The downloaded free app walks you through every step with ease. It is extremely easy to use and set up the app once installed. Simply scan your two finger prints allotted to each user and done! My only complaint is that you can only scan 2 fingers per user but you can have up to 50 users. For me I had to set up two users for myself to be able to scan my right thumb and pointer and then another user for my left two fingers. But other than that I LOVE this lock. Easy to use app to see if door is locked or not. We have a smart house so I can just ask our speakers if the front door is locked or even tell it to unlock the front door and it will do it! Love this!! Would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Halo Touch Contemporary Fingerprint Wi-Fi Enabled Smart Lock is absolutely amazing! My family loves all the smart products but this one is my favorite! I no longer have to worry about forgetting my keys or locking myself out of the house becuae it opens with my fingerprints. I love how I can set up specific profiles for my family members and only they can get in the house but the app also sends me a notification letting me know who entered my home. I can also lock my home from anywhere. This is the best invention of all time!
