Product Overview

The Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt with Century Trim in Matte Black is a high-performance smart lock engineered for modern homeowners who demand both security and convenience. With over 95 years of experience in door hardware innovation, Schlage delivers a product that blends advanced technology with reliable construction. This deadbolt allows you to manage your home’s entry points from anywhere using the Schlage Home app or Key by Amazon app—giving you real-time control whether you’re across town or halfway around the world. What sets it apart is its direct Wi-Fi connectivity: no extra hub, bridge, or third-party accessory is required. Just connect it to your existing home network, just like any other connected device, and start enjoying seamless remote access right away.

Key Features

  • Built-in Wi-Fi Connectivity: Unlike many smart locks that rely on a separate gateway or hub, the Encode connects directly to your home’s Wi-Fi network. This simplifies setup and ensures compatibility with your current smart home ecosystem without adding complexity.
  • Remote Access & Control via App: Using either the Schlage Home app or Key by Amazon app, you can lock or unlock your door, monitor entry activity, and receive instant notifications on your smartphone. This level of control brings peace of mind, especially when you’re traveling, running errands, or simply want to verify someone has entered your home.
  • Secure Encryption & Built-in Alarm: The lock meets industry standards for security with strong encryption protocols. A built-in alarm activates if someone attempts physical tampering, such as drilling or forced entry, helping deter intruders and alerting you immediately.
  • Auto-Lock Functionality: Once enabled, the lock automatically secures itself after a customizable delay—ideal for those moments when you forget to lock up or want consistent protection without manual effort.
  • Temporary Access Codes: Easily create one-time or time-limited codes for guests, housekeepers, delivery personnel, or service providers. This feature eliminates the need to hide spare keys or share physical copies, reducing risk and increasing flexibility.
  • Coordinated Aesthetic Design: The Century trim style harmonizes beautifully with other Schlage interior door hardware, making it an excellent choice for homeowners upgrading multiple components for a unified look throughout their living spaces.
  • Durable Matte Black Finish: Resistant to scratches, fading, and daily wear, the matte black coating offers a sleek, contemporary appearance that complements modern interiors while maintaining long-term visual appeal.

Benefits & Use Cases

The Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt excels in environments where security, convenience, and design converge. It’s particularly valuable for busy households that frequently grant temporary access to trusted individuals—such as cleaning services, pet sitters, or visiting family—without compromising safety. The ability to remotely monitor who enters and exits your home adds a layer of oversight that traditional locks simply cannot offer.

For tech-savvy users invested in a smart home ecosystem, this deadbolt integrates smoothly into broader automation routines. You can sync it with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant through the associated apps, enabling hands-free commands such as “Alexa, lock the front door.” The auto-lock feature further enhances daily routines by ensuring doors are secured automatically after use, reducing the chance of accidental left-open doors.

Beyond functionality, the coordinated Century trim ensures visual consistency if you’re updating multiple interior fixtures—like knobs, levers, or pulls—across your home. The matte black finish provides a modern, understated elegance that pairs well with stainless steel appliances, minimalist furniture, and industrial-style décor. Its robust construction reflects Schlage’s longstanding reputation for reliability, offering strength and longevity comparable to traditional mechanical deadbolts.

Whether installed on an exterior entrance, back door, or high-traffic interior passage, this smart deadbolt delivers dependable performance backed by rigorous testing for weather resistance, mechanical wear, and cybersecurity threats. It’s ideal for renters seeking upgradeable security, homeowners building out a full smart home system, or anyone looking to future-proof their entryway with intelligent technology.

Important Notes

  • This product connects directly to your Wi-Fi network—no additional hub or subscription service is needed to enable remote features.
  • A stable internet connection is required to fully utilize remote locking/unlocking, activity logs, and real-time alerts.
  • While praised for its design and core functionality, customer experiences vary regarding build quality, software responsiveness, and perceived value. Prospective buyers should weigh personal priorities such as ease of installation, app stability, and long-term usability.
  • Package contents typically include the deadbolt unit, mounting hardware, user guide, and batteries; however, specific details may vary by retailer. Always confirm included accessories before purchasing.
  • Compatibility with non-standard door thicknesses, unusual backset measurements, or pre-drilled holes not matching Schlage specifications may require modification. Professional installation is recommended for optimal fit and function.

    Great smart lock. Better than Kevo 2nd Gen
    This Schlage Decode lock is great! I owned the Kevo 2nd Gen previous to this but the Kevo was problematic and did not have as many nice features like this. I’m going to compare the 2 so you know the pros and cons of both.Schlage: Con: You have to get it rekeyed at Lowe’s or HD if you want it rekeyed. Or you have to get a special kit and then you can rekey. Not as simple as Kwikset’s simple rekey technology. Standing on the outside, I open my door inward and my door swings to the right. When first installed, the thumbturn seemed to not fully turn to thrust the deadbolt fully into the lock strike-plate. It turns out, you have to turn on the phone app and then enter the preprogrammed lock combination on the lock panel. Then a note will appear on the phone app to ask to proceed. After telling the App to proceed, the Schlage door lock will open and close and then the thumbturn will function properly.Pro: LOTS. Lock is quiet and smooth in it’s operation of thrusting and retracting the deadbolt. WiFi remote ability included. It pairs with my WiFi router easily since the door location has great signal. I can operate this lock from anywhere in the world using the phone app as long as my phone has internet capability. To operate this lock at the lock itself, locking is simply pushing the lock icon button on the lock’s numbered panel. You can also assign multiple access digit codes on the lock number panel for different people. As a result, everyone can choose his own number code to operate the lock and the App will show who opened and closed the lock based on which codes were used. Takes only a few seconds to enter the number code to open the door and kids love doing this.You can also program it to lock automatically from 30 secs to 4 minutes after it’s been unlocked. I set it to 4 minutes in case I forget to lock my door; it automatically locks in 4 minutes. 30 seconds is too short because I sometimes need to get something from my garage or patio and I don’t want the lock to automatically lock so quickly. Four minutes is plenty of time to go out to do a short errand around the house.It also comes with a real backup key which I hide but have access externally in case the battery runs out or the electronics malfunction. Some of the smart locks don’t have backup mechanical key function and this in my mind is dangerous. Sure, you can put a 9 volt battery to power the lock and it will solve the low internal battery problem but what if the electronics are defective? And who stores a 9 volt battery outside just in case the lock’s battery goes too low? Speaking of batteries, the Schlage App shows the actual battery strength. So far, I’ve used the lock heavily for 1 week and the battery percentage went down 1% so a set of 4 batteries should last 6 months to 1 year. Also, to change the battery, the cover just pulls up and the battery is quickly and easily changed.I really like this Schlage lock.Kevo 2nd Gen – Pro: Can be re-keyed easily. Yes, you can re-key it to use your old keys by just turning the key while in the lock, pushing in a flat metal tool, removing old key, inserting new key, and turning lock. Simple, fast, and easy.Con: Noisier than Schlage when it mechanically moves the deadbolt.Con: Kevo App doesn’t tell what the battery strength is, unlike the Schlage. To change the battery, 3 screws must be removed and the faceplate must be removed and then the battery can be changed. Too big of a hassle when you have to do this monthly.Must use a smart Phone to unlock Kevo and be nearby since it only uses bluetooth. You have to be less than 20 ft to remotely open/lock the Kevo. To use wifi, you have to buy a Wifi adapter costing about $100 extra.No code access. There is no number panel on lock so anyone without a phone cannot open the door without a key. As a result, my 10 year old could never unlock the door. To open, the Kevo app must be opened on the phone and you can remotely open the lock if you are less than 20 ft away since it uses bluetooth. Or if the app is opened in the background, you can touch the “rose face-plate” of the Kevo and it unlocks. However, sometimes this doesn’t work and I would have to use the app to remotely open it or even just use the key. The Kevo is not as reliable as the Schlage and there is no number panel to key directly to the Kevo in case remote operation doesn’t work..So just spend a little more money and get a Schlage Decode. It provides all the features I want in a smart lock and is reliable in it’s operation. Also, make sure the deadbolt travels into the strikeplate easily, without resistance. Otherwise, it’s requires more energy (shortens battery life) and lock may jam.

    Fantastic Smart Lock – Highly recommended
    I absolutely love this smart lock! It has completely transformed the way I secure my home. Installation was straightforward and the app is incredibly user friendly – paring my phone was a breeze. /the lock itself feels solid and high quality and the auto lock feature is a game changer, offering peace of mind without any extra effort.I also appreciate the versatility of entering multiple numbers assigned to different people so I know who is entering in my home, along with notification of them entering and leaving. The battery life has been great and I haven’t had any issues with connectivity. overall, this smart lock has made my life so much easier and I feel much safer knowing my home is securer at all times.If you’re considering a smart lock I highly recommend this one. Its reliable, secure and just so convenient!

    Defective Product
    I was really excited to try this product out and hoped to install 4-6 of these on a couple of vacation rental properties. The product installed on the door relatively easily, but could not get the product to start up with the factory codes provided. Called the factory support and spent almost and hour waiting for any level of support. Finally got a representative on-line and the recommended pressing the reset button. which I had already tried. They had not other suggestion and said I received a defective product. It is about a 2.5 hour one-way drive for me to go back and reinstall another one. The customer support was horrible. It is not worth trying this again with the hope that I might actually get a product that works. Quality control needs to be better.

    This lock is a game-changer for Airbnbs! Easy to install and use, it ensures security and convenience for both hosts and guests. The keyless entry adds peace of mind and professionalism. Plus, the ability to set unique codes for different guests or services, like cleaners or maintenance, makes it incredibly versatile and secure. A must-have for any short-term rental!

    Sin duda es un gran producto para residencias, departamentos y quienes manejen propiedades de renta temporal tipo Airbnb. Es un producto robusto, resistente, de fácil instalación y administración. Permite asignar códigos numéricos a todos los usuarios u llevar registros de todos los ingresos y aperturas de la puerta a través de una APP.

    Excelente opción para si buscas una cerradura inteligente. La usamos para un espacio de airbnb y funciona maravillosamente para controlar los accesos de nuestros huéspedes y estar al tanto de su llegada. Muy fácil de instalar y de configurar con tu red doméstica de Internet. Ya no es necesario adquirir u vender hub extra para conectar a Internet.
