SCHLAGEBrushed Chrome FE595CS V PLY 626 ELA Plymouth Light Commercial Electronic Keypad Lock with Elan Lever(Satin Chrome)

I have purchased and installed at least a dozen of either the Schlage or the Kwik Set electronic lock sets for my home, office, garage and places of employment over the last 20 years. Usually I pick them up at the local big box store, but this time I ordered two Schlages from Amazon.Both the Schlage and Kwik Set get the job done and work well for 2 to 3 years, depending on environment. The biggest problem is the numbers on the keypad crack and become illegible, and eventually the keys don't always make a good contact. Neither company sells replacement keypads, and although they have a warranty on finish, good luck getting a hold of them for any kind of warranty. I have tried over the years, and both are terrible. It isn't worth my time to sit on hold. I just buy another one and consider it part of the maintenance costs. Both companies should consider engraved metal buttons. Sunlight destroys these plastic buttons.In general, Schlage is the heavier duty product. The Kwik Set is easier to install a new battery in. Just pop off the indoor plastic cover and snap in a new battery. The Schlage is a little harder in that the inside half of the lock assembly is removed, and you have to juggle that while replacing the battery. It is a bit fussier, but it is not something that you have to do very often. The Schlage has a novel method of keeping the outdoor half in place. It is a small threaded fastener with a Philipp's screw head, that engages a plastic plate on the inside of the door. Once you have figured it out, it is quick and clever. I have broken the plastic without issue.Programming either brand is straight forward. Both come with a spare mechanical key to open the door should the battery run dead.Now, about Amazon's great service. I ordered these locks on a Monday. They arrived the following Wednesday. When I opened the packages, both locks looked like they had been repackaged by somebody eating a greasy cheeseburger. Both packages had been opened, as confirmed by a second seal placed over the cut one. Some of the parts were loose in the box. With something as important as getting into my house, I did not want to use these. I set them up for return, and the replacement product arrived the following Saturday! That is really is awesome customer service. Interestingly, the new pair were in sealed boxes too, and the body of the locks had fingerprints on them. Not greasy smears like the first set, but whoever did the final packaging was obviously not wearing gloves. The prints wiped off easily, no harm no foul. I believe this is a manufacturing issue, not Amazon. I include these details in case your locks arrive the same way.Overall, I really like my electronic door locks. I think you will be pleased with whichever brand you purchase. Schlage is a few dollars more, but is a little bit better built. You can't go wrong with either one. Choose the one that is on sale or the one you are already familiar with.

Very pleased with this product. In fact, I went and got a second one and wondered what took me so long the get these.Easy to install, program and use. The keypad lights up by touching the top oval button, therefore making it easy to use in the dark. With regard to the appearance, which is as important to me as functionality, it is very nice looking and seems to be of high quality. To me it was a good buy and the value is there. Been a Schlage consumer for a long time but I did weigh others against Schlage and nothing beat it for the money.

This is JUST what I needed. It looks great, works great, and love the added security.

Great quality. And very good item. I highly recommend this for quick and secure entrance. Easy setup and no issues.

Tiny vulnerable wires inside this lock make the install a bit tricky according to my handyman. Be so careful handling this component. Once installed and working it's a good and very substantial lock. It's a quality lock and I hope the battery replacement and the code changes are simple

I was using code locks since early 2000. Have probably a dozen at a few properties I own. Tried other models, so far these are the best when it comes to battery longevity and ability to withstand the elements.

On time

We use this lock very frequent and has held up for 5 years so far. We recommend this product to our customers. The finish stays new. This is for residential .. not commercial.. Highly recommend.
