Schlage Keypad Lock Review

I recently received a Schlage keypad deadbolt to review.

I am thrilled to report that installation of this deadbolt was super-easy. My handy-man friend said the hardest part was getting the old deadbolt out. He was able to install it with one tool, a screwdriver.

We put it on an exterior door that leads directly into the teenagers' room. (It used to be a garage, then was turned into a rec room and we use it for a bedroom.) The door has been inoperative for a long time because of a dead doorknob, but we bought a Schlage doorknob to match our new deadbolt and couldn't be happier.

Just now, I went out to program the thing. This is the cool part about this particular lock. I took out the instructions and within a few moments was able to program two entry codes: one for the boys and one for me. You can program up to 19 separate codes--so say someone's coming to house-sit. Instead of giving the house-sitter a key, you simply assign him or her a code. And then later, you can erase it. Easy as pie!

It's awesome, I think. I am very happy with my Schlage deadbolt.

I received a complimentary deadbolt and a $20 Amazon gift-card for this review, but that doesn't change the fact that I am very impressed by the quality of this item. I will look for this brand in the future.
