After no end of problems with a touch screen lock from a related company, bought this instead. And it works great. The codes have been consistent, the lock and unlock functions work well, I’m able to lock it via Alexa and overall just a solid product. If you’re looking for a front door lock with a smart key feature common to this brand and Weiser, this is the one I’d recommend

DO NOT BUY. DOES NOT WORK RIGHT.
Doesnât work right out of box. I even had someone else try to get it to work.This was an exact replacement so I didnât expect any issues.

Kwikset do better
Good looking lockset. Returned and ordered newer model do to inability to connect to network. Neither Amazon or Kwikset support was able to resolve the issue. Ordered Kwikset 916 model only to find out it would not connect either. Touchscreen disabled randomly and battery had to to be removed and reinstalled to reenable screen. Would not recommend

Easy install and connect with Alexa
I have several Kwikset smart locks and love that I can re-key them using the smartkey tool. This is the first one that has network connectivity. I had to upgrade to the Echo Show 8 (3rd gen) to get the ZigBee hub capability (Echo Plus and Echo 4th Gen also have the ZibBee hub). To connect the lock, I used the Alexa app and had to choose Lock and “Other” (only preprogrammed to Kwikset Halo). When choosing “Other”, it asked for type of connection (ZigBee, Z-wave Etc). I chose ZigBee 3.0 and it connected immediately. The ONLY think I don’t like it that this lock mechanism is louder than the one being replaced (Kwikset 909 SmartCode)

Zigbee is awesome!
Zigbee and Z-wave are the way to go with home automation. They can be locally controlled by the hub, so the internet isnât a weak link. And, they use less power to communicate which is especially great for battery powered devices. Theyâre both a better option than bandwidth and energy hogging WiFi in my opinion and of the two Iâve had better range performance with Zigbee. If you want a lock that not only opens with a code, but is great for remote operation and as part of home automations, this is a great and reliable choice. And of course the kwikset system lets you key it to match your other locks. (In case itâs of interest to home automation folks; I use the Smartthings hub and have a veritable constellation of Zigbee and zwave devices working together.)

Just what I expected
Replacing an older Model 914 as the electronics went bad. Works as expected and easy install.

Very nice zigbee lock that works with Hubitat
I have installed 3 of these on my home in the past couple of years. They work great and the batteries last over a year on mine. I did receive one that was used and not working. I sent it back and the next one they sent was fine. Amazon is the best there is when dealing with non working merchandise.

Install and forget about it!
Has held up well as a Zigbee lock for 9 months. No connection issues and works well for opening and closing. I got 6 months of battery use out of it, and replaced with rechargeable batteries. This is the best kind of purchase, installed it and have forgotten about it since!
