Schlage Encode Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt Lock with Touchscreen Keypad, Keyless Front Door Entry, App Control, Alexa, Google Home and Airbnb Compatible, Bright Chrome, BE489WB CEN 625

Looks nice and the wifi, once hooked up, seems good, but...As I tried to illustrate in the video, there is a "one touch" feature that is normal for many locks. What I don't like is that the code cycles the dead bolt every time. If it's locked it opens and if it's open it locks. The if "it's open it locks part" is what I have a problem with. I find it very annoying to get home and to the door to open it with the code only to find the last person didn't lock its door and that I inadvertently just locked it. Reenter the code to get in the house. It took two tries to customer support via email to see if there was a switch or an update to fix this. I described my complaint clearly and this is what the response was. "The lock is designed to unlock with the one touch or with a code entered." I am assuming the "unlock" is a typo and should be "lock". Then I thought I'd give them a call. I was faced with the usual menu selections, french/english, residential/commercial, tech support and was told that I had selected the commercial however he was able to answer my questions and confirmed that there were no options to shut off the lock with code feature..which I consider a flaw in the programming. He suggested that I could look in the crack to tell if it was locked before entering the code, would work door that swings out but most entry doors swing in like mind does. The other idea he had was that I could use my phone to see the position. Maybe I am missing something? I have missed the return window or it would be boxed up already. I very strongly recommend you look for different, better lock options. Weiser are good.

This is a really great lock for facilities requiring detailed access control and logging. Installation is simple, the app works well and is easy to navigate, and it's easy to share control of the lock. My biggest complaint is that the screen is BLACK until you touch it. Even in a well lit environment, it is almost impossible to see the buttons. There is only one button you may touch that does not count as part of your log in attempt, and if you don't know that, or if you touch the wrong button and don't know how to clear it, you will be locked out for a few minutes. This lock could use a proximity sensor, so that it lights up when someone approaches it. **UPDATE: it seems that, at least on the unit we received, the battery carrier is not a very tight fit, and can move out of contact with the electronics. This leaves the unit completely dead, until someone with a key can unlock it and wedge a shim in behind the carrier

Very nice and well built lock. Read the instructions carefully as this lock is compatible with almost many sizes/variations of the holes. After 1 month the baterry level is 92% so it looks good . It is at 92% even if outside were -20 to -30 degress celsius for more than 3 weeks. App is very easy to use and you can manage codes easily. The only draw back is that does not have open/closed door sensor so it closes even if the door is open but not a big deal for me.

Easy installation and great looking. Have bought for 3 homes. Easy to allow access for emergency visits. With the app I know whe and when they opened or locked my doors.

Updated 3/20/26 - I am finding that the lack of accurate timing of notification is a priblem for me. The time i receive notified vs when the lock was accessed are not in sync. I also cant configure a way for invalid entries to trigger a notification. Dropping down to 3 stars from 4 as a result. Research on the matter tells me that I need a lock that supports zwave and a local hub to solve notification issues. Shop wisely. Updated 11/27/25 - I purchased this lock for a second home that I let other family members use when I am not. The house is some distance from my primary residence, so I outsource some of the work needed like house cleaning and general house maintenance. I create a code for each of these situations and time bomb the code so after the work is done, the code no longer works. While I get notifications when the lock is opened and closed, they don't arrive within any specific timeframe, so you have no idea of when the lock was actually unlocked or locked. You must combine with a home camera system. I do like that you don't need a subscription to manage the lock remotely via your mobile device. Heads up... the quick guide installation manual that comes with the lock is not very useful, almost misleading. You have to use the QC code in the manual to access the user guide online to actually program the lock, the directions in the quick start guide are not at all accurate.
