Kwikset Halo Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Keyless Entry Front Door Touchscreen Deadbolt, Matte Black Finish, Grade AAA Certified, UL Listed, Easy Install No Hub, App Control

Perfect combo of style and functionality!
Easy to install and looks great! The black color is very elegant and should match any modern black hardware. Seems to be high quality so far and the app is easy to use. I didn’t see a way to set up user codes that apply across all locks, so I had to set them up individually instead. It’s not the end of the world, obviously, but would be nice to be able to set the user and code in the app and then check which locks that user and code applies to. Locks work as intended though and it’s nice to have multiple ways to unlock the door (including the good, ole fashion key). Re-keying the locks to a standard key was incredibly easy and one of the best features of the Kwikset line in my opinion.

DO NOT RECOMMEND
The touch screen is garbage. You have to tap it a hundred times just to get it to light up. I had read that you are supposed to put the back of your hand over the lock to get it to light up but even that doesn’t work 99% of the time. The lock continuously disconnects from wifi and the only way to get it reconnected is to do a factory data reset so you have to set up every single code you had over and over again. I have had this lock just over two months now and have had to do a factory reset 5 times already in that short period. The lock sucks though batteries like I have never seen before. I have to replace the batteries about every 3 weeks. And have had to replace the batteries 3 times already in the short period I’ve had it. I had a kwikset lock before that was just coded lock and I would replace the batteries about every year and a half or even longer. To go through 4 AA batteries in 3 weeks is just ridiculous. The lock is rather loud. The motor is much louder than my basic coded deadbolt I had from kwikset. I chose this lock because I absolutely loved kwiket lock i had before and thought it was a great lock. Plus I love the rekey feature. But this lock needs some drastic work to get it up to speed with what I would expect from kwikset. As far as customer support I emailed kwikset about the issues I was having and it took them a week and a half almost two weeks to even respond. The app is very basic and you can’t make many changes or do much with the app other than add a code or lock and unlock the lock. The biggest complaint I have about the app though is that there isn’t a way to configure wifi settings or anything for the lock. So if you change your wifi password or the lock disconnects from the wifi as it constantly does you have to do a factory reset. The lock also says it is Bluetooth but literally the only think the Bluetooth is used for is setting up the lock thats it. If the lock has disconnected from the wifi the lock is completely rendered useless and becomes a standard regular deadbolt. Even though the app still shows it is connected and that it is connected via Bluetooth as well nothing. No changes can be made without a factory reset. The only way to determine that the lock has been disconnected from the wifi is from the history report and you see last updated yesterday at 00:00. And you know the lock has been unlocked or locked several times since that time. Or when you are trying to use Alexa and she responds the lock is not responding. Then you know it has once again been disconnected from the wifi. To sumerize I seriously regret my decision in choosing this lock and it needs massive amounts of work to even be considered a decent lock. I have always been a huge kwikset fan. But this is a huge let down and biggest waste of money.

Very loud motor
While this is a great idea for us, the product falls short. We have previously used Kwikset smart locks to easily key all of our locks the same. WiFi seems to be a good idea for us, because many of our doors are remote. The idea of being able to limit access for contractors to certain days and times is great. The lock is also easy to install, and connected quickly with our dual-band house WiFi without needing to disable the 5 kHz band.We were using this in place of a Kwikset Smart Lock, non WiFi. The new lock does not manually latch as smoothly as the old lock, but it is ok for us. But, when activated through the app, the new lock makes a loud grinding/buzzing sound that can be heard in other rooms and outside. This might be ok for others, but not so much for us.The jury is out on battery life, which we understand may only be a few months (not good). Changing 4 AA batteries is a matter of unscrewing tiny screws, which we don’t like. If battery life is so short, Kwikset should come up with a way to release the batteries that would be as secure without unscrewing screws.

Bought this lock for a new front door. After the install tried to install the app only to find the Kwikset Halo app is not support in Australia. Total disbelief and frustration.

Compramos esta cerradura por varias razones, una de ellas para conectarse al wifi y poder monitorearla. La aplicación tiene muchas fallas, en ocasiones no quiere abrir, a veces dice que está desbloqueada cuando no es así. No sirve de nada tener la aplicación con tantas fallas.Por otro lado, en dos días la batería se descargó un 20 %, es ilógico porque ni se ha usado tanto, va a salir mas caro reemplazar las pilas a cada rato.En su publicidad decía instalación gratuita y no es cierto Kwikset dice no tener convenio con amazon y no cubre ni la garantía ni la instalación.
