I bought this so we don't have to use keys and because of the autolock feature. Unfortunately, even if they claim that they tested this against "extreme weather", mine already broke twice (I returned the broken one and bought another)! It survived the snow season but when the rain came, it just stopped working! I called and emailed schlage but to no avail. Good thing the manual key still works. Again dont use this for exterior doors that get rained on!

I really like this lock a lot! It was easy to install and wonderful to use. No more fumbling at the door looking for a key to get in. It opens easily with a bump with my elbow when I have packages in my hands. I can shut my door when I go to the laundry room without worring that I may forget my key to get back in. It is very sturdy.The only bad feature is that I will need to remove the inside door handle to change the battery. They should have made a access door for changing the battery.

Buyer Beware. This product works great for indoor applications. This lock was installed on an exterior front door and the first time itrained the lock quit working. I had to re-install the old lock. After this Schlage unit sat on the workbench for 3 days and dried out it now works again. The pictures on the box and the Schlage website show it installed on an exterior front door. How misleading can you get ?Schlage and Amazon should note that this lock is NOT suitable for exterior applications. After reading, re-reading and re-reading you will note that nowhere in the product description does it say "suitable for outdoor applications" or "weather proof" or " water proof".Unless you have a storm door to keep the rain/moisture out, ... this lock is not for you.

This lock was easy to install and easy to program. I like the fact that you can add and delete codes for temporary house guests or workers to have access and then delete them. It is much easier than fumbling for a key to get into the garage and it works reliably. Just a turn of the inside knob unlocks and locks the door handle for easy passthru if you are home and are working outdoors. I don't know why it took me so long to buy one.

Lock would constantly lock itself as the knob on the inside is extremely easy to turn. Have had many people lock themselves out which was a huge pain. I've tried 3 of these and they all did the same thing. I believe the lock would be fine for low traffic doors.

Would have given 5 stars, but the 1st lock set received had a bad motor and wouldn't work with combination. Amazon replaced immediately at no cost to me. 2nd lock set works great and looking forward to years of not worrying about getting locked out without keys.
