Key Features
- Up to 6 Customizable User Codes: Assign unique permanent codes to family members, roommates, or trusted individuals. Each code operates independently, so there’s no need to share a single key or worry about unauthorized access due to duplicate copies.
- Temporary One-Time Use Codes: Perfect for visitors, delivery personnel, housekeepers, or maintenance workers. These time-limited codes can be created instantly via the keypad and automatically expire after use, ensuring temporary access without compromising long-term security.
- Motorized 1-Touch Locking: No more fumbling with mechanical tumblers. Simply enter your code and press the “Lock” button—the heavy-duty motor extends the bolt with a single touch, providing fast, consistent operation every time.
- Low Battery Indication: A built-in alert warns you when battery power drops below optimal levels. This early warning system helps prevent unexpected lockouts by giving you ample time to replace batteries before they fail.
- Customizable Auto-Lock Function: Set a delay between 10 and 99 seconds that triggers automatic locking after the door is closed. Ideal for busy households where doors may be left open during quick errands, this feature adds an extra layer of security without requiring constant attention.
- Single Cylinder Design: Combines electronic keypad entry on the outside with a traditional thumb turn inside and key override for emergencies. This dual-access approach ensures usability in all situations, from daily routines to power outages.
- Easy Installation: Requires only a standard screwdriver—no special tools or professional help needed. Compatible with most standard residential doors measuring 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick, making it a versatile choice for upgrades or replacements.

Benefits & Use Cases
This electronic deadbolt excels in environments where both convenience and control are essential. Homeowners appreciate not having to search for keys when carrying groceries, working out, or walking pets—simply enter your code and go. For busy households with frequent visitors, the ability to issue temporary one-time codes means you never have to leave a spare key under the doormat again. Property managers and landlords find it especially valuable for managing tenant turnover, guest stays, or service visits without physically rekeying locks each time.
The auto-lock function enhances safety by eliminating the risk of accidentally leaving the door unlocked after stepping out briefly. Whether you’re heading to the mailbox or running into the store for a few minutes, the lock will secure itself automatically within your chosen timeframe. This is particularly useful during winter months when gloves make manual locking difficult, or in summer when hands are full with bags or equipment.
Crafted with solid construction and dependable performance, the Kwikset 92640-001 appeals to buyers who prioritize reliability over flashy smart features. While it doesn’t integrate with home automation systems like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, its mechanical simplicity translates into fewer points of failure and longer lifespan. Many users report satisfaction with its aesthetic appeal, smooth keypad response, and quiet operation. The lock also includes anti-pick pins and hardened steel bolts for added resistance against tampering or forced entry.
Important Notes
Before purchasing, customers must measure their door’s backset (distance from edge of door to center of cylinder), cross bore size (hole in door for latch mechanism), and thickness to confirm compatibility. These dimensions vary slightly between door types, and mismatched specs can result in improper fit or non-functional installation. The lock is designed for exterior use only and should not be installed on interior doors requiring soundproofing or privacy.
Installation takes approximately 15–30 minutes using only a screwdriver. Follow the included instructions carefully to align the deadbolt correctly and ensure smooth operation. After installation, test all functions—including keypad entry, key override, thumb turn release, and auto-lock timing—to verify proper setup. Batteries are not included and should be replaced annually or whenever the low-battery alert appears.
While most users praise the lock’s build quality, ease of use, and visual appeal, some have reported variability in initial code programming or occasional unresponsiveness from the keypad. To minimize issues, reset the system according to the manufacturer’s guide immediately after installation and avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight, which can affect electronics and battery life.

Easy to Install. Easy to Program. Easy to Use.
I read some mixed reviews on this product that had me nervous about my purchase originally, but I experienced only positive results.I bought this for my parents house. They come and go a lot, and us kids stop by, etc. and I thought it would be a fun gift they would never think to buy but would love. I bought the product and it came 2 days later via Prime. The reviews I read were all pretty positive about the quality of the unit but were VERY mixed when it came to installation and programming. Some left paragraphs on how hard both were and you should set aside 3-hours to complete, and then other reviews were basically “Great! Super easy install.” So I had no idea if I would be able to figure this out, I’m not super handyâI’m tech savvy so I figured I could get the programming done easy but the install I wasn’t so sure about. But you know what? I’m in the “super easy install” group!âHardware InstallationâI installed this bad boy in roughly 30 minutes (I used a drill to screw and unscrew, so maybe add time if you’re doing that by hand) and this wasn’t a new door that had now deadbolt hole or anything. I was replacing a traditional deadbolt, basically unscrew everything from the old deadbolt, and then follow the directions to install this one. I knew taking the old one out would be easy, but installing the new one I wasn’t so sure about. The directions admittedly weren’t the greatest, but if you follow the steps (looking at the pictures as reference) and think about what you’re doing it’s pretty basic. Again, it took me under 30 minutes to install and I was talking to my parents about something while doing it.âProgrammingâNow this part was easy to me. At first it’s not obvious how it works, but after looking at the directions I realized it’s VERY easy to program. Simply follow the steps in the programming guide. It’s basically your programming code followed by “kwikset button” followed by the number associated with the task you want to perform, then “kwikset button” to start the task (i.e add an unlock code, change auto-lock time, etc.)âAfter a few daysâMy parents love it. They thought it was cool to begin with but after a week of use they find it to be super convenient and useful.The only thing I with it had was a separate button to illuminate the keys at night. If you press ‘Kwikset’ they turn on for .3 seconds and if you press a random number you have to then press ‘Kwikset’ to cancel out what your typing to start the actual code. Basically if it’s really dark you need to know where the first button is in your unlock code number so it illuminates, then you can see the rest. Otherwise it’s great.For the price this product is amazing. Super nice build quality and works as it says.

Decent but Hasa Few Catches
I’ve installed five different models of kwickset keyless locks. This one was the worst. This one is also the cheapest, which makes me think they cut corners.The others I’ve installed were very easy. They had good instructions and were straight forward. The main issue with this one is the actual lock. You might be able to get one screw into it with no problems, but then it has the tendency to spin. Lining it up for the second screw and be very frustrating. The other ones I’ve installed held the lock in place, making it much easier to install.The other truly bizarre thing about the install, is where they have you grab a pair of pliers and snap off who metal tabs, that don’t want to snap off. For the life of me I can’t figure out why they have you do this, or why it doesn’t come done already.Once you have it installed, it’s a pretty good lock. I find that the push buttons are much more reliable than the touch screen versions. The other big benefit of this one, is that it’s not BT or have Wifi. You might want that, but it murders the battery life. BT isn’t too bad, but the wifi models burn through batteries like popcorn.This is much cheaper than the more advanced models, and it has much better battery life. That makes it a really good value.

Works great
We have been using this on our Airbnb for about 4-5 months now. No problems whatsoever. It came on time, as described. Instructions were easy to follow, & it was simple to install.

Best keyless entry lock on the market!
We first bought this keyless entry lock 2 1/2 years ago for our one rental. Since then we have bought the same exact keyless entry lock for our home, apartment building, a gift for a family member, and two other rentals. Hands-down, the best keyless entry around. It is reliable and extremely easy to install.

Easy to Install
I have never installed a door handle before and I’m not handy. Uninstalling my old keypad door lock and installing this new unit took less than 20 minutes. It was super easy! The keypad works great and has tons of functions. Highly recommend!

Ãtima fechadura e fácil instalação

La cerradura tiene un acabado muy bonito y de altÃsima calidad, el mecanismo funciona muy bien, las baterÃas incluidas hasta el momento no se han agotado lo cual es importante, leà reseñas de que habÃa personas que tenÃan 10-12 meses y aún no se agotaban las baterÃas y esa fue una de las razones por las que me animé a comprar este producto frente a otros de la competencia (además obviamente del precio).Es súper fácil de programarlo, los botones responden bien hasta el momento, me gusta que te de la posibilidad de guardar varias combinaciones para asà compartirlo con personas de verdadera confianza en caso de una EMERGENCIA (por ejemplo yo necesitaba un documento importante en una ocasión y no estaba en casa entonces le llamé a un familiar y le pedà de favor que entrara por el, con la combinación pudo entrar sin necesidad de una llave como normalmente es entrar a una casa y eso me salvó el dÃa).Eso sÃ, como comentaban por ahà en otra reseña… esta cerradura no sirve para las casas donde la puerta sea de vidrio o tengan una ventana sin barrotes por donde puedan meter la mano porque abrirla por dentro es muy fácil, basta con girar la perilla y ya.De hecho algo que pudiera no gustarle (o gustarle, dependiendo la situación o emergencia) a algunas personas sobre este detalle es que también un niño podrÃa abrir la puerta y salir a la calle a cualquier hora del dÃa, digo cualquier hora porque por ejemplo estamos acostumbrados a por la noche cerrar toda la casa con llave y dormir, pero en esta cerradura esa idea de “cerrar con llave” es muy diferente, porque ya no necesitas la llave para nada prácticamente (de hecho yo ni la he usado nunca, solo la tengo en mi llavero por si acaso se me acabara la baterÃa ) para que tomen eso a consideración. La verdad eso para mà no es ningún problema porque vivo solo con mi novia entonces el producto nos ha caÃdo de maravilla, nos ha salvado de veces en las que olvidamos las llaves adentro y aún asà entramos como si nada, me ha dado oportunidad de dejar entrar de repente a mi mamá o amigos a que entren a casa para que tomen algo o entren cuando aún no llego para que no se queden afuera y cosas asÃ, la verdad es que son detalles que se agradecen.Aunque claro, no vas a darle la combinación a todo mundo, y de preferencia cambialas constantemente, pero eso ya depende de su confianza a las personas!

I was very excited when ordering this electronic lock. The reviews were amazing and it was about $30 cheaper than the major home improvement stores.As advertised, the instructions were very clear and installation was a breeze. I did need to make one adjustment to account for the smaller hole in my door. Subsequently, I needed to remove 2 tabs from the mounting plates. They give you simple step by step directions how to do this.After 20 minutes, I was thrilled to see everything working smoothly. The latch bolt extended and retracted successfully both when inserting the key and rotating the turnpiece.Now I was ready to load the batteries and program the lock. This is the point where things took a turn for the worst. As soon as I hooked up the power, the latch bolt wouldn’t fully retract anymore. It seemed to be jammed somehow. I fiddled with it for over an hour. I couldn’t figure out the problem. I assumed the lock was defective because it operated smoothly with the key. I knew it wasn’t a user code issue either because the latch bolt would extend to lock the door after entering the code. It just wouldn’t retract completely to unlock the door. It would just stop midway and jam up. I was so frustrated and disappointed. I was ready to give up and send it back!After watching several installation videos online, I learned an important thing about electronic deadbolts. Apparently, all components need to be perfectly aligned or it will misfire. I decided to give it one last shot. In desperation, I loosened the mounting plate and bumped the key cylinder and latch just a pinch towards the door edge. I re-tightened the mounting plate and hooked up the power. Success!!!I’m glad to report the lock is working perfectly! I deleted the default codes and created my own user code with ease.Some great features:1. You can program up to 6 different codes simultaneously( 4 – 10 digits). Every family member can have their own code.2. Enable/ disable auto lock feature automatically re-locks your door. It can be set between 10 and 99 seconds.I plan to buy another one for the back door. I anticipate this lock will provide years of reliability.

easy to install because of the good videos from kwikset. We have an office where we installed this as a second lock. Now, we can limit daytime user access based on who knows the code. In the evening we turn on the second lock.
