SCHLAGE BE375 CEN 625 Touch Keyless Touchscreen Electronic Deadbolt Lock, Bright Chrome

I've always had exterior doors with latches that don't lock and used a deadbolt to lock the door as these require action to lock the door whether from inside or outside. This essentially eliminates the possibility of ever being locked out without my keys. So I wanted a combination lock that would never lock automatically. This fit the bill as it requires that the thumbscrew be turned to lock the door whether from inside or outside. I like the fact that this model does not have a manual key lock embedded in its thumbscrew because this means there's no lock to 'pick' and it also makes clear to a visitor/1st-time user what the function of the thumbscrew is - the ones that combine thumbscrew and keylock don't look obviously a thumbscrew. Another advantage of this design that required physical human action to lcok the door is that the absence of a motor to move the deadbolt in/out of the 'lock' position means the battery lasts many times longer.I was a little thrown by the higher price tag compared to some of the competition but two features swung me in the direction of this one:1. The audible and visible 'low battery' alert2. In an emergency, the ability to "jump start" the lock by touching terminals of a fresh 9v battery to unobtrusive terminals on exterior keypad3. The sleek uncluttered, contemporary matt black and chrome designSince the door in which I installed this is thicker than most and is made of steel, not wood, I was not confident that I would be able to install it. But, as it turned out, installation was a breeze.It's only been in place a few hours, long enough for me to change default codes and enter a few personal codes. Seems very simple and easy to use (crucial to keep programming code secure but also readily accessible in case of emergency - this can be a challenge with such things sometimes)I wish I'd installed this many years ago!

Very easy installation. Read instructions twice before starting and intuitive to complete. Solid heavy construction, and simple to program. Just installed, will follow up in 6m.

The battery won’t properly charge in it so I try to close it up and it quits working. Reaching out to company soon.

it works fine but doesnt automatically lock. its ok for the price

This is a great product, just needs connectivity. The other more expensive models require the bolt to perfectly align with the door frame, no friction even is acceptable. Which means no weatherstripping... bugs, drafts, etc. No thanks, those are completely impractical. And noisy.

This product was easy to install and easy to use. No problems.

Love this lock. Connected with my wink him seamlessly! And the kids don't need a key!

Fits door and other hardware perfectly. Easy install, good instructions.
