Kwikset 959Trlfprt Halo Traditional Smartkey Electronic Fingerprint Keyless Entry Wifi

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am all about having a smart house and this is one item we needed. It takes about an hour to install. We now have the lil kids. Ages 7 and 9 using their finger prints and not having to have a key ever. Accidental lock out. Easy peasy. I wish it had an automation for it. Say like auto lock at 9pm every night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This home improvement project had me walking away exaggerating my skills as a locksmith. Setup is quick and easy with a guided installation through the app. The visuals are detailed and tailored to the particulars of the door (established by a series of multiple choice questions). Plus, all of the individual components come organized in numbered boxes, making the parts easy to identify and locate with each subsequent direction. You even have the option to use the key it comes with or rekey the lock so that it works with your existing key. The completed look is aesthetically pleasing. The design, shape and bronze finish are beautiful and polished. I have been using the lock for a few weeks and thus far I am impressed that it works consistently. Moreover, I love the ease of not having to search for my keys, confident that I always have a means of access on my person whether it's key, fingerprint, or phone. The effortlessness extends to locking the door; when exiting I can just tap the scanner to lock (anyone can do this, it does not have to be a registered print). Most importantly, the ease does not compromise on my feelings of safety and security. Apart from the device itself, the thing I enjoy most about the experience is the app. It is straightforward and helps keep the details organized. I can set up profiles for 50 users with multiple recorded prints per user. It also allows me to tailor the access of individual profiles by hours, date, or weekday and time. It allows me to check on the status of the lock remotely and adjust accordingly. It also maintains an activity log and identifies whose fingerprint was used to open/lock the door. The app can also be used to pair with Google Assistant and to set up an auto-lock feature. If that wasn't enough, the app includes a battery icon that informs me of how much battery life is left on the lock. Initially, I was frustrated by the alert on the lock anytime the door was locked/unlocked, but found that the chime was easily silenced by an option in the app. The only issue I encountered was an inability to register my son's fingerprint. Granted, his fingers are small and don't cover the scanner in its entirety. Presumably, as he grows, this problem will be eliminated. Truth be told, this is not my first foray into the world of smart locks. However, this is so easily integrated into the existing setup that it is hands down the best experience I've had with a product of this variety and would be the first brand I'd recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving my new smart lock! Going from a traditional lock to this smart lock has been a big change but for the better. I enjoying not having to fumble for a key when I come home with a full groceries and can instead hold out one finger to be let in. I recently setup my mom's print on the pad so she can come over to my home to take my pups for a walk while I am at work. She had a lot of fun scanning her finger and now she has an easier way to get in without bringing her million key keyring each time she visits. The look fits my style well and blends with the door while still looking good. My hubby did the install while I was away but he said it took very little time and was quite easy to follow with guide. He is very handy around the house but still at a DIY level so I feel confident that most people could put this on without much effort. I look forward to many years of use with this lock!

I have had this product for over 3 years, and it has been rock-solid. I love being able to lock with a touch and unlock with a fingerprint and fallback to a key, just in case. I loaded my kids' prints in the lock and they can come and go as needed (plus I can see when they do ;) ). I have to change the batteries every 4 weeks or so, but that's no big deal to me. Just bought some rechargeables and swap them out. The one thing that is important is ensuring that you line the strike plate with the deadbolt as perfectly as possible. If it rubs against the lock when unlocking and locking, it can really reduce battery life since the motor works harder to lock; and the extra strain will likely reduce the lock's life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kwikset HALO Touch Fingerprint Smart Lock is amazing. The technology behind this lock is unbelievable. I have 3 kids who can't keep up with keys very well at all and now they don't have to. When they come in from school they just use their finger and the smart lock recognizes it and the door unlocks for them to let them in the house. That in itself is awesome but to go even further it alerts my phone through the app and lets me know my house has been unlocked. Just the other day I forgot to lock my house and just as I was starting to panic I remembered that I can lock my door just by going on the app on my phone. It's just that easy. The app is amazing because it alerts if the lock is jammed or if someone has tried to unlock the door and it didn't recognize the fingerprint. It also lets me know if I need to change the battery on the lock. I can add up to 50 people's fingerprints to be able to unlock my home. Also, I can unlock my door for the repair man whether I'm at home or not just by using the app. It's wifi enabled and I didn't have to have a smart hub for it to work. It didn't take but about 20 minutes to install the lock and download the app. It does come with a set of keys incase the WiFi goes out which is great. This Kwikset Halo Touch Lock is BHMA Highest Residential Certified. It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. I absolutely love this smart lock and just how easy it is to use especially for my kids who can't keep up with a key.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cool device! Who would've thought we would have this option in 2021. It has an amazing fingerprint unlock that is accessible and easy to manage. We cna store up to I believe 50 fingerprints too which is really nice so we didnt have to hand out any keys! It's very modern looking and definitely adds some value to our home, and a sense of added security.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this lock. It's very easy to install and use. I really like that I don't have to carry any keys. I like how I get notifications, when someone uses the lock and that I was able to add my family members fingerprints. Very happy with this lock and not having to remember passwords, codes and keys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Kwikset products, all of my door handles in my house are from this brand. So I was very intrigued when I heard about a Wi-Fi Enabled Smart Lock for your front door. I asked my handy neighbor guy for help in installing this for me. He really liked that when we opened the box all the parts and pieces are in their own separate little boxes and clearly labeled so he knew what went where. He was able to get this fully installed in under an hour. The part the took the longest was getting it hooked up to the home Wi-Fi and then setting up the fingerprints. (that was the reason for my 4 star rating) My 14 year old and I both programmed our prints. This will come in very handy when she wants to go somewhere and I won't have to worry about her being locked out while I am at work. I think I am also going to enable my neighbors fingerprint so that if someone needed to get in the house in case of an emergency they could get in. The app is very easy to use and install for locking the home if you happened to not remember if you locked the doors. I also love the deadbolt feature. I am happy this is part of the locking system. I was able to keep my prior deadbolt also so now feel protected with 2 deadbolts. Overall so far this has been a great, innovative feature to add to our home.

Just out of warranty the connectivity failed…no help from Kwikset. Worked great before then but was battery hungry…wouldn't mind that so much if it hadn't failed.

These are great locks, the only complaint I have is they go through batteries so fast. If they cane out with a lipo battery pack that would last longer I would redo this review. I'm sure I'll be spending more in batteries that this lock costs in no time.
