- I partnered with Home Depot to show the Schlage connect keyless door lock. I show the keyless deadbolt installation on my own door and also answer the top 5 questions I got about the Schlage smart door lock. As a teaser the 5 questions were about the battery, override, wireless, security, and hacking. #smarthome #keyless #smartlock

we are having a new home built which comes with this lock. Thank you for posting some good info on the unit making it easy to understand.
I love the idea of using that little forsner bit you used at 2:09.. very clever. And those long screws also are a great idea. I didn't realise that Schlage make 'finger print resistent' door locks. Excellent video. Thank you!
Spot on! The key thing you mention here is if the deadbolt does NOT move freely this will SERISOULY affect battery life! I have this paired with the Ring alarm and works flawless! I have read SO many reviews saying battery life was 2months or less and that is because the lock is not "smooth"! On my main entry door that "cycles" at least twice (sometimes more) a day I have gotten a good solid 13months and just replaced the batteries before they got too weak before they needed to be replaced. Battery replacement is also VERY easy and does NOT require a re-pair to your hub or alarm system. I got this on "sale" for 169.00 almost 2years ago. Works great! As you stated it may require "special" tools to install as my install also required work and alterations using the EXTRA long screws that further increase the "kick-in" factor. Using the "standard" screws that are only a 1/2" to 3/8" long is WAY easy to "kick" these in! Using the 2 1/2" or 3" screws going into a stud makes it WAY harder to simply "kick" in. Great review!
The company I work for has professional locksmiths on staff and we use this lipstick trick all the time if there's a lock that needs adjusting. Thanks!
Those are some really cool features of the Lock of being able to connect other smart home products to it.
Yeah, I was surprised how many features it could tie into
One of the best descriptive videos I've seen [on any topic]! Thanks!
Nice review and useful information. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Schlage Connect. Only had one issue, enrolling it on the z-wave network, but their customer support walked me through the process. (It was totally my fault…) It's been working perfectly with SmartThings & Alexa.
Yeah, you've gotta be within 10 feet of the hub to get it paired, that got me at first
My issue was not waiting for like an extra second after entering the programming code. :) Their phone support was awesome.
My savior, of door lock installs...I will thank the man upstairs for this.
Good overview. It’s neat to see how the technology is advancing.
Lipstick trick was pretty dope😊👍 lol
I am sure gonna buy this smart lock.
Watching this again.
Very informative and well produced. Thanks!
Hi from Sweden....Just wanna let you know that I love this channel. ;)
Hej Hej!
Good job. I have a feeling that this will be quite helpful when I install my first in several days.
Really, REALLY good video. ✌️
Thanks!
I’ve been using the Schlage Connect for the over 3 years. Best smart lock out there. And I’ve tried the August and Kwikset Kevo. One thing about the Schlage’s battery life. On my main door where it gets used daily, the batteries lasted about 26 months before I had to replace them.
Is it ok to use original strike plate ?
Inquisitve m - Yes it is, as most strike plates are virtually identical in size. But you have to make sure the dead bolt clears the hole CLEANLY and easily. If there’s _any_ resistance when locking/unlocking the dead bolt, you need to adjust or shave the strike plate a little - or else the batteries will get drained very quickly or the motor will eventually get worn out. I used a Dremel to adjust my door frame and strike plate easily.
Lastly, one thing to note, if you do use your own strike plate, you may not be getting the same security Grade 1 rating, as the Schlage strike plates uses the extra long 3 in screws.
@@ONI1013. thanks.
Ours only last about 4 months with heavy traffic
@@tryphena2691 - Wow. One of our doors we use at least 20-30 times per day, and that one has lasted at least 18 months and still going. Perhaps your traffic is very high? Also, as we try to manually lock the doors ourselves when coming home (and even though it’s set on an auto lock timer), just to preserve battery life.
You information is very helpful. Thank you.
Planning for a move here soon, this adds another upgrade item to my list, thanks B-Rod.
Right on, brother. 2/1/14
I like seeing the issues dealt with installing
Great video and explanation on how to install
I've used Schlage's smart locks for years, the battery life is great! If folks will stop buying dollar store batteries they will last.
I’ve been enjoying the Fix This things that you’ve been doing lately. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Jason! It's been fun to bring in this side of the brand.
Love the lipstick trick. Will remember that one for the future. Thanks.
Enjoyed as always and gave it a thumbs up as well ;)
Thanks for sharing your review 👍👍
Nice video man. Cheers!
Great review
Thank you. Great video. You are awesome.
My name is Robert from Ghana thank for the good work u are doing bro
Again, the algorithm finds something I'll watch
Great Video!
Thanks for your help
Grate awesome information, Thanks
Good explanation 👍👍👍
QUESTION: How good is the key part of the lock? Meaning is it easy to be picked? Thanks! Love your channel!
Good review!
Excellent how to video...even I can do it!!
I really like the Schlage Connect except my zwave doesn’t work. I have 3 and only got 1 to connect to my SmartThings hub and Amazon Echo. But it has a strong motor, much better than kwikset and August which I had installed before. Both those units went thru batteries at fast rates. August integrated with Apple’s HomeKit seamlessly and worked great.
7:25 you have just gained a new subscriber lol well done.
When buying one of these, only buy one that can be left open. Some will always extend to the lock position after :30. Problem being that the door can be ruined if door gets shut with latch extended.
Hey Brad, great video but for future topics perhaps discussing which are best for metal doors?
As I’ve tried the Nest x Yale device but it wasn’t totally smooth. Kinda bc my door & jamb have alittle slack, if that makes sense. Another words there 1/8”-1/16” play/slack. That’s primarily my side door/outside utility door.
But for my inside lobby door leading to the basement I think I’ll try this Schlage device. It looks really cool & comes w/a built in keylock as well. The Nest DID NOT.
Thanks again, Brandon!
One thing people often miss in the “hacking” topic is that many smart devices connect directly to your home network. It’s best, if possible, to separate them from your main network though, as often their security leave something to be desired. Some home routers have the option of using two SSIDs (like “Family” and “Guest” in your WiFi), that are separated from each other to prevent them from talking. If your router does this, use the feature! If you get deep into home automation, find a router that does it!
One cool thing with Z-wave is that the only thing actually on your network is the hub (Wink, SmartThings, etc). That’s great from a security standpoint!
Wont protect against shapeshifters
Great video and answers all the questions. Just remember though that most entry is through a broken window. That’s right thieves break windows to get in. Also any door with a window in it is the least secure type of door. Break the window reach in and unlock the door. Good doors, good locks and an alarm system on the windows is the best.
Great info.. thank you!
Actually that is only the second best. 2nd amendment is the first best when it comes to dealing with these criminals
Hi! Bases on your experience, which deadbolt do you recommend for a 70mm door thickness
great video
Nice!!!
Thanks so Much!!
That lipstick trick is a really good idea
Nice vid
thanks!
Nice video😮😊
Nicely done Brad! 👍👊
Good Review. Does the Schlage smart deadbolt have the capability of locking automatically when you walk outside? And if so, how do I program that feature. Thank you!
Can you speak more about that Zwave network hub you mentioned? Is that with all locks?
great video, one question I have does it work with Alexa?
My old dead bolt is only 1-1/2” diameter and it’s set back 2”on center. Also my latch is the older style one and the hole is set back 5” what can I do in this case? Thank you love the video
I love this channel😻😻
How does it perform in very cold weather? And can you un locked at a distance for a certain amount of time?
Excellent
you can pick any lock, this is great, it can lock the door at a time of day or after it has been unlocked
Can I use the built in hub on echo show gen 2?
Great video! Can you change the lock?
which model is the one you discussed in the video? There are several that look just like that one. ..
I got two questions. 1.- How durable can it be while being installed in a very hot places like in the Caribbean, where DAY temperatures along the year are between 25 and 35 Centigrades. In addition during rainy days it may get wet. My Front door faces East and the sun and makes things worse. 2.- During vacation times, bulglers can damage the from lock to the point of destroying completly. How easy to be destroyed...Can the door still be open. Thank you so much
I see you installed this lock on a left hand swing door. I have a right hand swing door and can not get my to trough dead bolt. My question is, is there a specific lock for right hand and left hand swings or does one lock fit both?
Hi ...i have this lock installed and would like to know if i can extend the delay time for auto lock? I.e. i would like to extend the time it takes before auto locking
Great question browie!
New to smart home stuff. What kind of “hub” are you talking about and where can you get one?
Link 2 I think is what he said
I don’t have a deadbolt lock on my door but want to install this. How do I get the curt ever measurements and how to make the cut outs in the door and the frame?
There still is a key slot that can be picked, so don't waste your money on any electronic locks that use a key as a bypass when the batteries get low. Go to mechanical entry deadbolt locks. I have had one installed on my two homes for over 20 years I just take it apart and clean and use lite lubrication to keep all the mechanical parts moving smoothly. I have one of the Lockey series locks. I use a six-digit code. You can install additional security pins to use 4 to 8 digit codes.
Thank you so much for the video. Very helpful. I want to install this on one of my room doors but it obviously does not have an existing lock on it. What do you suggest?
You can buy a lock hole boring kit from home depot. Just need a drill
If inside the room, you could have a sliding bolt lock on it.
Does it work with Google assistant? I can't get mine to connect.
I looked at some of these and the actuator for the locks are not strong enough unless you have a near perfect closing door. I used the one that you turn the knob yourself.
What kind of drill bit was used to drill out the rounded corners of the strike plate?
Forstners bit
Does this work on metal faced outside doors?
Does the app send push notifications for tamper or break-ins as well as sounding the alarm on the lock? I cannot find this anywhere.
Steven Severson yes, you can program it to have the alarm go off if it senses someone is trying to pick the lock. I’m not sure of the details as far as if a good picker can override or bypass, but CNET’s review mentions the pick tampering alarm setting.
This is a great video. My issue is that I cannot chisel my way through the door since it is all metal framing. As a result, I have to completely remove the metal component to make this work I believe.
Wont protect against telekenisis
Cordless (or corded) Dremel tool with a metal grinding attachment should work in your case.
Would it be good for an air bnb? Could we send out a temporary password that could be changed once the guests are done
Currently have a deadbolt and a lock on the handle. Just trying to understand- switching to this type of locking mechanism allows you to only have a dead bolt..(one lock on the door) any smart locks out there that have a two lock mechanism?
I changed from right to left inswing door, now I can't re program it, any ideas?
need to lock the door when door is close only. A times, I leave the door open for 1 to two hours. Does the auto lock feature knows when to lock the door (auto.lock should not be activate while door open)
Hi there. Can I lock the door from upstairs through the app? Thanks
Can the key portion of the lock be bumped?
How do you reprogram the lock after removing from an old door and reinstalling it into the new door?
Also can this work with Nest smart home items?
I have Schlage BE468 smart lock also. My batteries (4- AA batteries) only lasts 3 months. A family of 5 and we never use a key to get in, always the number pad.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial.
How do you assign an authorized user who can add and delete user codes?
Great Video.. do you have any video in which you explain how to connect with Alexa the Same Lock?
I don't, sorry
Lipstick is the bomb, used to use fingernail polish for slippage marks on helicopters.
Hi, I would like to purchase the Schlage Camelot Encode Smart Wifi Door Lock with Alarm for my front entrance door, and I would like to know how water proof is this product? because my entrance door gets very wet when it rains. Also, does the pad number ever fade out after a while?
In netherlands its standard to have a three point lock. So the door locks with 3 different bolts in 3 different heights ( top,mid and bottom in door). How come all these “smart” locks are designed to only 1 bolt. Dont they break in houses in america or so? Or is the safety standard way heigher here?
Very cool! Does it tie in with IFTTT as well?
Yeah, it can tie in through the hub or Smart Things I believe
Is it unpickable?? Can it be open with a strong magnet??
Can this be purchased, installed, connected and used in my home as is? Or do I need to purchase this ZWave hub as well on top of this lock? Any help would be appreciated
You need a hub with zigbee. I have the Samsung.
Courtney B avoid full electronic bolt throw. Trust me I work on these every day. Better option would be SCHLAGE BE365. Yes you can do whatever you want in your home. This guy is a fool, I'd go somewhere else. Security plates /screws are standard with deadbolts and only don't come with the cheapest of locks. A 3/4" screw in the door frame isn't going to stop a boot from kicking the door in. I hate channels like this... They're just shilling for the manufacturers.
how hard is it to install in a steal door that does not have hole in door yet
Any smart locks have a fob? Would be nice if my arms are full to have it unlock just be getting close with touching it.
We were considering installing one of these on the door between the garage and home, can the deadbolt be installed so the keypad can be on the garage side of the door and the deadbolt moves to the left?
Yes, the lockset can be used on doors that open left and right. Just follow the instructions and it will tell you what to do.
Some keypad locks have a 9v battery connector on the bottom outside so you can open it if it died without a hard key. I know the assa keypads have this not sure about consumer grade smart locks though.
This one doesn't have that
Schlage install video said not to install the reinforcement bracket if there is a window on the side and i saw you did any experience. I'm also looking to install but have a window.
Hi there, is the lock weather/water proof? I know it's used outside, but wonder if needs porch cover, etc. Thanks!
