Obsidian Venetian Bronze Keyless Keypad Electronic Touchscreen Deadbolt Featuring Z-Wave Technology

Purchased two of these same issue on both. Connects to Vivint app easily. Issue comes with the touch screen. It it is very dim in daylight and a little finicky activating incorrect number and double tapping same number. If I coudnt rely on the app to lock and unlock this product would be a no for me.

I bought this lock for the ease of zero keys for myself, or family. It was fairly easy to install, and also made sure that there was No friction when the dead bolt was engaged. The Lock has been working like a charm for the last month, since the install. Enjoying the Freedom of Zero Keys!

First off let me state that I'm a huge fan of Kwikset. The fit and finish of this Kwikset keyless electronic touchscreen deadbolt is fantastic. It has a very sleek and modern look with the solid black (obsidian) and satin nickel finish on the exterior side of it. The inside looks as nice as can be expected but it's kind of hard to make it look as nice as the outside does. Since there is no keyhole on the outside they were able to make it look very high end and polished. It looks just like a block of obsidian glass until you touch it and the keypad lights up. Since there is no key for this deadbolt and there is the slight likely hood of the batteries going dead at some point they placed two small prongs on the bottom of the black square on the outside that you can place a 9 volt battery up against it and it will power up the electronic touchscreen so you can open the deadbolt if the need should arise. My wife and I have been wanting to get an electronic deadbolt for the door that goes from the laundry room to the garage for a long, long time. It seems like every time we come back from grocery shopping we back up in the driveway to offload the groceries into the garage and the house she ends up over in the corner tapping her little foot waiting for me to let her in the house because she never carries her keys with her when I'm driving. Now she can punch in the code and let herself in (it's the little things in life ;o) On the installation of this electronic deadbolt I had to deduct from 5 stars to 4 stars and here is why. I spent at least 2 to 3 hours trying to install this deadbolt a couple weeks ago and no matter what I did it would bind as soon as I screwed it all together. I would take it all apart to verify I was using the proper screw lengths, etc.... put it all back together to have it still binding. I did this over and over and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Not being able to make it work I reinstalled my regular keyed deadbolt and went and set it out on my workbench to fight the good fight on another day. Today I went and removed my keyed deadbolt and tried it again just to have the same binding issues. Not knowing what I was doing wrong I thought I would try something different so here is what I did. There is an adapter/spacer (picture of it in attached pictures) for all doors that have a 2-1/8" hole size that you put on the outside side of the door before installing the black (obsidian) electronic keypad over it. I left this piece out and screwed it all together and it worked perfectly with no binding whatsoever!! I'm hoping this helps someone because it took me a minimum of 4 hours of trying to install this deadbolt when it should have only taken about 15 minutes. The touchscreen on this works great but it does seem to be less then responsive right away. It seems like I have to touch it multiple times in different ways to "wake it up" in order to type in my code and open the door. I'm not quite sure why but all in all it works great once the keypad lights up. This deadbolt comes with Home Connect and the Z Wave Plus technology built into it so that you can remotely lock and unlock from anywhere, you can monitor the lock and get notifications of the locks activity and you can set up smart home scenes and trigger events to fit your lifestyle. I have not yet set up our home with Home Connect or the Z Wave technology. Most of our stuff in the house communicates via Wi-Fi and I need to learn more about this side of the tech industry so I can stay current. If you already are familiar with all this it should be a great addition to your automated home.

In order for this product to work correctly, we have had to replace both AA batteries weekly! After about a week of use we are unable to lock the door with the keypad because it flashes the battery low signal. Not sustainable!

It's a little slow to read when you're typing a code quickly. But overall, exactly what we were looking for in form and function.

I bought this because it's easy to pick a lock, and since it has no key it can't be picked. However, after a couple months of use, after pressing one number, the adjacent number activates. The actually number pressed does nothing except activate the number to the immediate right. I am assuming this issue may get worse and likely not better. Factory reset and new batteries didn't help at all.

I was ready to move to keyless entry, but having had friends who've occasionally experienced issues with theirs, I wanted one that still had a keyhole if absolutely needed. So this one seemed great - it says right there on the Home Depot description that it comes with two keys. But it doesn't. It's entirely, 100% keyless. I know that's fine for some people, but I need a backup plan. I live alone, and if the keypad failed, I'd be in big trouble. So if you are fine with 100% keyless, this is no doubt a great lock. If you still want to carry a key, hoping to never use it but just for security and peace of mind, you're out of luck.

Great product works as advertised.
