Schlage FE575 PLY 626 ELA Plymouth Keypad Entry with Auto-Lock and Elan Levers, Brushed Chrome

Sin duda, este producto es barato si lo comparamos con la calidad y la seguridad que brinda

Beautiful piece of mechanics. I was a bit trepidatious about installing - you know how these things can often go wrong. I myself was wrong - it was stupidly easy! Four Phillips head screws and bingo! I really didn't have to use the new latch that it came with which would have meant only two screws - but I did. Can't recommend it highly enough! Now, after over 3 years' use on an outside, exposed, door (one purchased earlier than this one) there are signs of corrosion on the stainless body and the soft keypads are showing some deterioration. I hope they do not become unreadable. Otherwise, no issues at all with either and I'd purchase again.

This is the second time I have purchased this particular lock. And the first time was in an apartment back before I moved. So when I started renting a room and I needed to secure my electronics and other valuables, this lock was the first lock I went to because of its ease-of-use and the auto lock feature. Considering that I have substantial customer data on my laptop and external hard drives, getting up to use the restroom or fix a meal in the kitchen/go out to eat, and ensuring that the door locks behind me complies with all of the data security policies that I have to meet. Further, these are the same exact locks used throughout the building at my volunteer job so I am already familiar with them. 10 out of 10 would buy again. High-quality, and absolutely a steal for the price. Operation is simple, either use one or both of the pre-programmed user codes, or take a moment and program up to 19 codes at a time. This is absolutely wonderful considering that in an application like a front door building maintenance staff, building management, as well as myself and members of my family can have their own code. And applications such as an interior door for the room I am renting this is not so much something to write home about, but with staff coming in and out to assist me each of them can have their own unique code. An extra bonus feature is the so-called vacation mode. If you want to blanket deny all user code access to your house or other secured area while you are going to be away for an extended period of time this is a great feature. Hell, I’ve even used this before I went to The hospital, as I did not know when I would return. That even a compromised user code would fail to operate the lock. While I could have opted for the higher end model that has the ability to disable the auto lock functionality, or a higher end model that can communicate with my smart phone these features to me would be overkill in my particular application and as a result, this particular FE575 lock is just what I need. I would encourage that families with children coming and going from school get this lock as for the fact that you don’t have to worry about the keys being lost or stolen or wrooring that a rushed or forgetful child or spouse would forget to lock the door behind them. This also works great for if you have an Airbnb rental property or if you have service providers coming in or out as you can add a temporary code to allow them in and when their access is no longer required the code can easily be deleted.

Solo das una clave y luego la borras. Muy bueno. Más fácil de instalar y programar que otras marcas. Compraría otro sin dudarlo.

At the time i bought this, i also ordered for another door a 'Kwikset 90915SMTCP SmartCode Single Cylinder Deadbolt Featuring SmartKey, Satin Nickel' so although they are different items, i will be mainly comparing the differences in the style, quality, and ease of use/installation since they are both Keypad style entry units. Overall i would buy both products again. they are both pretty straight forward on the installation. the instructions are thorough and easy to follow if you have ever installed a door handle/deadbolt before you shouldn't have any issue with the install. you will probably already know aligning the hole for the strike plate is the most challenging task, but shy of that i actually found this unit and the kwikset deadbolt easier to install than my previous standard door handle/deadbolt set. Comparing the 2 units in quality, i would have to tip my hat to the Schlage. It feels like a super solid and strong unit. the programming is easy if you are following the instructions, and can store several codes. also the LED back light for the keypad is extremely bright, yet another nice feature. the handles come not attached so depending on what way your door opens you can actually just flip the piece on the inside of the handle and then install the handle the opposite way, so this would work on a left or right opening door, very nice. im not sure what it is about the Schlage rather than the kwikset, but i love the way the Schlage handle and the entire unit looks. It just seems very crisp and clean, maybe its just the color even though i did get the same color for both units. My biggest and only complaint with the Schlage vs the Kwikset is the battery compartment. on the kwikset it is (1)on the interior of the door (since this would more than likely be where the heat is coming from it would probably extend battery life) and (2) is accessible WITHOUT removing the Deadbolt. Where as on the Schlage it is (1) NOT on the inside of the door, but on the outside in the weather constantly and (2) you MUST REMOVE the entire handle in order to access the battery compartment. this is the only reason this unit gets a 4 star instead of 5. Shy of these things, both units have a Key-ed back up, so if you batteries die before you can get them replaced you are not locked out. So to sum up, both have pros and cons, but for me, i think both are very good quality, and i would buy either one again, however even with the lack of ease of battery compartment access i would still probably lean towards the Schlage because of the feel of Quality. You do GET what you PAY for. best of luck in your decision. Edit: After one year i am altering my review and changing schalge to a 5 star. My kwikset crapped out on my and the replacement that they sent as a warranty replacement unit didn't even work on its arrival. The Schlage has been a champion. after 1 year of use, even with the battery compartment being on the outside, doesn't matter. haven't even had to change the battery once( in the winter where i live it is between -10 and 10 degrees F.) After my anger had subsided with my Kwikset unit, i bought the Schlage Deadbolt equivalent of it. I expect the same value and quality that i have received with this unit.
