Keyless Door Lock Install & Top 5 Questions | Schlage Connect

[@shoyrushoyru]

i thought the lipstick was to raise your self confidence in order to achieve the task

[@charlesy1271]

Lipstick trick was pretty dope😊👍 lol

[@BruceClifford]

we are having a new home built which comes with this lock. Thank you for posting some good info on the unit making it easy to understand.

[@BrandonBaumvideo]

The company I work for has professional locksmiths on staff and we use this lipstick trick all the time if there's a lock that needs adjusting. Thanks!

[@jamesduff6937]

I love the idea of using that little forsner bit you used at 2:09.. very clever. And those long screws also are a great idea. I didn't realise that Schlage make 'finger print resistent' door locks. Excellent video. Thank you!

[@everydaycode1535]

remember it has be red lipstick. not blue or green,. red.

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

The biggest problem with any dead bolt system is having a cheap wooden door frame the can be kicked in with you foot easy!! The deadlock works 100% better if you have a steal frame. Trust me I took a steal bedframe did a few cuts and nailed it to my door frame. That did the job and I had better protection from someone just kicking the door open ! As you know living in New york is not easy!!😂😂😂

[@mikehofer8708]

Why can't I change an old password on my Lock?

[@Hawka-Loogy]

When buying one of these, only buy one that can be left open. Some will always extend to the lock position after :30. Problem being that the door can be ruined if door gets shut with latch extended.

[@edolivoeo]

Fyi, my screen on my schlage sense smart lock would illuminate and key pad inoperable. Found wire that come through the door came loose. Reconnected = works! Dont buy another one till you chk that. Over & out

I’ve been using the Schlage Connect for the over 3 years. Best smart lock out there. And I’ve tried the August and Kwikset Kevo. One thing about the Schlage’s battery life. On my main door where it gets used daily, the batteries lasted about 26 months before I had to replace them.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Is it ok to use original strike plate ?

[@ONI1013.]

Inquisitve m - Yes it is, as most strike plates are virtually identical in size. But you have to make sure the dead bolt clears the hole CLEANLY and easily. If there’s _any_ resistance when locking/unlocking the dead bolt, you need to adjust or shave the strike plate a little - or else the batteries will get drained very quickly or the motor will eventually get worn out. I used a Dremel to adjust my door frame and strike plate easily. Lastly, one thing to note, if you do use your own strike plate, you may not be getting the same security Grade 1 rating, as the Schlage strike plates uses the extra long 3 in screws.

[@inquisitvem6723]

@@ONI1013. thanks.

[@tryphena2691]

Ours only last about 4 months with heavy traffic

[@ONI1013.]

@@tryphena2691 - Wow. One of our doors we use at least 20-30 times per day, and that one has lasted at least 18 months and still going. Perhaps your traffic is very high? Also, as we try to manually lock the doors ourselves when coming home (and even though it’s set on an auto lock timer), just to preserve battery life.

[@fabian3265]

In netherlands its standard to have a three point lock. So the door locks with 3 different bolts in 3 different heights ( top,mid and bottom in door). How come all these “smart” locks are designed to only 1 bolt. Dont they break in houses in america or so? Or is the safety standard way heigher here?

[@kunaljashnani6919]

Hi ...i have this lock installed and would like to know if i can extend the delay time for auto lock? I.e. i would like to extend the time it takes before auto locking

[@FerrariLM]

Great question browie!

[@Mofjos]

I like seeing the issues dealt with installing

[@P_double_H]

Ughh... why can't Schlage put a 30 cent wifi board and let us connect this to our home internet? Z-Wave... that only means buying more unnecessary crap to be able to lock remotely.

[@supastarmomrealchannel]

Just changed the batteries and the faceplate not working now why Todo

[@northvalleylocksmith640]

Your bolt face plate is not flush, its makin me crazy... lol just sayin.

I cannot get my software installed. The lock is working fine.

What’s the apps? I have the same Schlage connect. The apps I download doesn’t have Schlage connect 🤨 need help please

I love the Schlage Connect. Only had one issue, enrolling it on the z-wave network, but their customer support walked me through the process. (It was totally my fault…) It's been working perfectly with SmartThings & Alexa.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, you've gotta be within 10 feet of the hub to get it paired, that got me at first

[@davidbailey6785]

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, aka "Da Yoop". I have this exact deadbolt set and have had to have it replaced 4 times now... The new lockset is going to be installed on Saturday after Thanksgiving. 1st time, keypad failure. 2nd time, batteries died in 6 months. Replaced them with the recommended Duracell batteries, no joy. Lockset was dead. 3rd time, keypad failure again. 4th time, lights on keypad failed. Keypad still worked but was a p.i.t.a. using it at night. "Dealt" with it for awhile until the batteries died, again, lockset was dead even after the new batteries. Because of the temperature extremes where I live, I noticed that warm, moist air leaks thru the hole in the door and blows on the back of the keypad assembly. Maybe it's shorting it out? Before I installed the 4th lockset I sealed the back of the keypad where the wiring went into the keypad with silicone caulking and it lasted longer than the previous locksets. I also put that stick on foam insulation on the backside of the door where the controller is to try to keep that warm moist air from leaking thru the hole in the door. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can seal that hole to keep ALL the air from blowing thru? I'm going to give this lockset 5 stars for convenience of use, ... But because of this reliability issue it's going to drop down to 1.5 stars. However, Schlage Customer Support gets 5 stars. They had me do a little troubleshooting but when I explain everything I already did to troubleshoot the issue they send me replacement locksets at no cost to me. One item of note... The "born on date" for all the previous locksets were 2019 and older. The one I have ready to install is 2021. They must have a warehouse full of these things, ready to ship out at a moments notice because of issues like mine.

[@seminolerick6845]

huh ? "keyless"? ... is that a fake keyhole beneath the touch panel ? ...no... the "override" KEY opens it... i.e. can be picked !!! it is NOT "Keyless". The unit I have has NO such key, but DOES provide a place to temp external hook up a 9v battery to use if batteries die.

[@dubya13207]

One thing people often miss in the “hacking” topic is that many smart devices connect directly to your home network. It’s best, if possible, to separate them from your main network though, as often their security leave something to be desired. Some home routers have the option of using two SSIDs (like “Family” and “Guest” in your WiFi), that are separated from each other to prevent them from talking. If your router does this, use the feature! If you get deep into home automation, find a router that does it! One cool thing with Z-wave is that the only thing actually on your network is the hub (Wink, SmartThings, etc). That’s great from a security standpoint!

What nobody talks about is when the batteries die if you have no other entrance to get in your house you are fucked.

[@BeverlySettecase]

My keypad does not light up.model BE469ZP new batteries & lights up green on the inside. I have factory codes but key pad on outside no light? the wire is connected. ???

[@Knightfall23]

Make sure to change the default Router login from admin / admin to something else and have a strong wifi password and youll be fine from hackers

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

For sure. I changed it to password/password 😉

[@pz-bv9ts]

I think I got a dud. After 3 days I was getting a Battery Failure message in the Ring app (haven't tried the Schlage app yet). When you press the button on the lock you just get a red X. I changed out the batteries and same thing.. red X.. I did a reset twice and still red X.. I assume it's a dud.

Cold weather got my fu*** up some number on the keypad are not responding. Only one year old :/

[@davidherron9997]

Doesn’t need to be hacked. Drill a small hole in the cheap body , stick a paper clip in and all that encryption means nothing because you’ve just bypassed the entire lock. Why they charge so much And claim security and a 10 year old with a cordless drill can bypass it. Do a search on KZbin “Bypass keypad locks” like I did

[@RonTimmonsM1]

simple keylogger on your device and someone remotely logs your info and can easily come enter your home. So hacking it is extremely simple with a little know how. If they had it in a non-wifi non-bluetooth, non-smart home model it would be better for people concerned about hackers. It would be more "hackproof" if you will from people with nefarious motives.

[@whooyouu18]

If you can use the key to get in, can't you just pick it and bypass the whole thing?

I have a lock that stop working after 3 weeks of installation and looking for some tips to fix the lock.

Can you give me a few tips on how to find out why this lock is not powering up even when I try brand new batteries.

In addition during rainy days it may get wet.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

Spot on! The key thing you mention here is if the deadbolt does NOT move freely this will SERISOULY affect battery life! I have this paired with the Ring alarm and works flawless! I have read SO many reviews saying battery life was 2months or less and that is because the lock is not "smooth"! On my main entry door that "cycles" at least twice (sometimes more) a day I have gotten a good solid 13months and just replaced the batteries before they got too weak before they needed to be replaced. Battery replacement is also VERY easy and does NOT require a re-pair to your hub or alarm system. I got this on "sale" for 169.00 almost 2years ago. Works great! As you stated it may require "special" tools to install as my install also required work and alterations using the EXTRA long screws that further increase the "kick-in" factor. Using the "standard" screws that are only a 1/2" to 3/8" long is WAY easy to "kick" these in! Using the 2 1/2" or 3" screws going into a stud makes it WAY harder to simply "kick" in. Great review!

I am on my second Schlage keyless lock and it fails to operate intermittently. Both locks, brand-new out of the box, had identical issues; about 1 in 50 times, it will not operate, locking me out. This had nothing to do with the batteries, which are Duracell bard-new ones. The installation is ideal in a steel door with no friction on the bolt. Schlage pretends that they "never heard" of this problem, but I have found identical testimony in Google reviews. Obviously, there's a major design flaw they're not catching. DO NOT buy this lock.

[@Santos-ek8md]

Hey Brad, great video but for future topics perhaps discussing which are best for metal doors? As I’ve tried the Nest x Yale device but it wasn’t totally smooth. Kinda bc my door & jamb have alittle slack, if that makes sense. Another words there 1/8”-1/16” play/slack. That’s primarily my side door/outside utility door. But for my inside lobby door leading to the basement I think I’ll try this Schlage device. It looks really cool & comes w/a built in keylock as well. The Nest DID NOT. Thanks again, Brandon!

As long as the lockset physically works, and as long as you change the entry codes and have the keyway reset to a new key, I don't see why it would be a bad thing.

[@dpr1961sr]

I really like the Schlage Connect except my zwave doesn’t work. I have 3 and only got 1 to connect to my SmartThings hub and Amazon Echo. But it has a strong motor, much better than kwikset and August which I had installed before. Both those units went thru batteries at fast rates. August integrated with Apple’s HomeKit seamlessly and worked great.

[@The22on]

I watch vids like this and I think a lot of people will think this is a simple installation. It ain't! It's simple if you have been doing this stuff for a few years, but most people I know don't have the knowledge or tools to do this job properly. Just because a guy in a video makes it look like a breeze, don't be fooled. I am an experienced do-it-yourselfer, and i've added closets, done electrical and plumbing... mostly self taught. (I always do things according to code. Look up code online.) NOW I can do stuff really well,. But I made a ton of costly and time consuming mistakes over the years. Here's some of what I've learned: 1 - Prepare to go to the hardware store at least 3 times for any job. There's always something you didn't realize you don't have. 2 - Do you have a big roll-around tool cart? Is it stocked with drills, chisels, saws, sanders, staplers, bits, electrical testers, romex, plumb bobs, electrical connectors, plumbing parts, etc.? 3 - It's almost guaranteed that your job will vary from what you see in vids. My door jamb is metal, not wood. The old hole from my old door lock is way too small to fit the new lock. Do you know how to make a hole bigger? There's nothing but air for your drill to start into. The only way to get handy is to do a lot of jobs and make a lot of mistakes. Just be careful. READ, READ, READ! WATCH, WATCH, WATCH! LEARN, LEARN, LEARN! Buy magazines, books, etc. Today, I drilled a small hole in a piece of wood with a brand new drill bit. Within 10 seconds of drilling the bit broke and hit me in the scalp! Of course I was wearing protective glasses, but it didn't protect my scalp. Fortunatly, it was just a scrape. My point is: wear protective gear - eyewear and ear protection. Hope this helps. Good luck.

There still is a key slot that can be picked, so don't waste your money on any electronic locks that use a key as a bypass when the batteries get low. Go to mechanical entry deadbolt locks. I have had one installed on my two homes for over 20 years I just take it apart and clean and use lite lubrication to keep all the mechanical parts moving smoothly. I have one of the Lockey series locks. I use a six-digit code. You can install additional security pins to use 4 to 8 digit codes.
