Kwikset SmartCode 955 Keypad Electronic Lever Door Lock Deadbolt Alternative with Pembroke Door Handle Lever Featuring SmartKey Security in Satin Nickel

I was hesitant to purchase this lock as I did not recognize the brand name "Kwikset", only being familiar with the more available brands in stores such as Schlage, Weiser, etc. However, I suspect it might actually be the Schlage Smartcode lock just under a different brand name as it seems identical in all ways. I always research and read reviews and this lock had great ratings so I decided to go for it. It was very easy to install, took about 30 mins. The code programming is really easy to do, too. I installed this on my garage and I find it really quick and easy to access the garage - even in the dark as you can light up the buttons with one tap. It's an attractive lock (I bought the satin nickel finish), sturdy, and the lever handle is handy when your hands are full - they provide two levers, a left and a right version. I happen to have a Weiser brand smart code deadbolt on my front door and I actually prefer this Kwikset Smartcode 955 better. I like the key code being right there by the handle instead of on a separate deadlock higher up on the door like other Smartcode styles, and the price was good, not as expensive as some of the other more known brands. If I ever have to replace the Weiser, I'd buy this Kwikset lock instead. Very happy with it.

Super solid feeling and looking. Easy to install. Just have to follow pretty simple directions. Handles easily reverse to accommodate doors swinging either way. This is not a problem as one reviewer states. Set screws are preinstalled and recessed and basically invisible. You just have to insert the included long hex key following directions to turn the handle a bit. Rekeys easily to your house key. We’ll see on how long it lasts, but I’m optimistic. Seems well made.

Works great, we love it, very easy to install, highly recommend.

Excelente producto en calidad y servicio. Muy fácil de instalar. Solo quite la anterior y coloque esta sin necesidad de ninguna otra cosa. Solo hay que checar las distancias y orificios que vienen indicados en la guía de instalación para ver que correspondan con las de la chapa que vas a reemplazar. Muy funcional y fácil de programar.

Dont know why so frequently returned. Really good instructions, easy to install. All i had already was a door handle. One hole. Thats all i needed. No drilling, no wood working. Fit standard door with standard door handle (in my case, round turn kind). All the measurements to ensure fit was what i has already. Must be common measurements. 9v battery included. Smartkey makes it easy to change the key. LOVE this. Auto locks too.
