The lock is great looking, but you need to replace battery almost every two weeks or lock works spastically. This is frustrating and the lock was expensive. It looks beautiful. High maintenance. We have had it a year. We also have a Schlage lock and battery only needs to be changed once a year. I would recommend that one.

    Purchased this lock about a week ago. It's a beautifully designed keyless deadbolt. I had considered going with a lock that is connected to other apps in the home (Ring, Alexa) but decided the headaches with connectivity and integration weren't worth it. Plus, since I have Ring, I can just give people the code to enter. This lock was super easy to install and looks great on my door. Pairs nicely with the Montreal handles made by Kwisket. I've received a lot of compliments on this lock and it's "wife approved".

      Locking mechanism works as expected. Nice appearance. But instructions are poor-you have to download extra instructions to set up master code (needed for reasonable security) instead of simply including those few paragraphs in the package. Other surprises: requires a different latch for some installations. Must remove (unscrew) back cover to change settings. Plastic interior cover is clumsy to slide open (required to add access code) - I expected better fit/finish at this price.

      Not a good product
      Very disappointed on how cheaply made the lock is and it doesnt fully secure on the door (oddly the screws keep getting loose that connects the deadbolt lock and the mechanism). DO NOT BUY! Get the Smartlock 270 model, much better.

          My husband and I love it! It was easy to install. It was easy to program the codes, also. We, also love the additional security that has been added so someone can’t figure out your code/codes.

          Great lock! Easy to install. Works great. Looks great. External application of a 9 volt battery in case of depletion of four internal AA batteries is very reassuring. Eliminates worry about being locked out of house due to battery failure.

          Difficult to install. They provided three different lengths of screws to secure the deadbolt none of which were the correct size for my door. Screws strip really easy (way too easy). Extremely difficult to get everything lined up to fit the screws. Really poor quality overall. Be prepared to spend way more time on this than you had planned!

          Just didn't work
          I was pretty excited to have z-wave lock to control with my security system. My excitement died pretty quickly trying to get this installed. For some reason, this is the first lock that just didn't fit my door properly. I tried the 3 different size screws but I just couldn't get it to fit snugly against the door. That is fine, as I was able to find a set of screws that worked however I couldn't get it to work at all and couldn't get the z-wave functionality to work. The lock does look good though and is high quality. I was a little disappointed with the overall installation of the lock, maybe you'll have better luck.

          Hello Matters,
          We appreciate you taking the time to review the Obsidian lock, and we're more than happy to assist you further. The Kwikset 953 Obsidian deadbolt is a stand-alone electronic lock, which means it will only work from the touchscreen, thus cannot connect to a third-party hub. The 954 Obsidian deadbolt with Z-Wave technology, linked below, will connect to a Z-Wave compatible hub or security system. If there's any additional support that we can provide, please know that our Support Team is available to help at 1-800-327-5625. We hope to hear from you soon!

            Very easy to assemble, looks great on my moms historic house, and we love the extra security that not having a physical key provides (no lock to pick). My mom, who is technology challenged, finds this easier to use than a traditional deadbolt :)

            It's a great product. That being said not north of $100 good. I bought mine clearance table. Also this was a cash purchase how does Home depot know? I purchased on a whim no search history or registered with kwikset.

            I love the lock. I love being able to leave and not have a key. I don't like that it screams at me every time I lock my door. The beeping is because there is something in the door jam. There is nothing in the way. Otherwise it's a great lock
