Schlage BE365 V CAM 619 Camelot Keypad Deadbolt, Electronic Keyless Entry Lock, Satin Nickel

Great lock and no more fear of being locked out
Easy to install and easy to set up. Everyone can make up their own 4 digit code that they’ll remember. No more lost or forgotten keys. Takes a little getting used to putting in the code and getting it unlocked before it times out but once you get the hang of it it’s easy to use. Schlage is a good brand and the lock works smoothly. Am very happy with it. Wish I’d done it sooner

works well, useful, cheap finish
I replaced a Schlage keyed deadbolt with this combination item. It works very well.A combination lock allows my kids to open the door without having to keep a key. While I used to be “latch key kid” myself, my own kids are never home alone. Nevertheless, I might send them to the door with bags/groceries etc. while I’m still at the car. When we come back from walking the dog, they can open the door for me. I have confidence knowing they’ll never be locked out.A combination lock means my wife and I don’t have to carry keys. My wife has an electronic fob for her car, and my car uses a switch and starter button (old school). Eliminating the house key means no more keys at all.Brass metal keys, including Schlage and Kwikset have too much toxic lead in them. So much that they’ve been sued by State’s governments but they are unlikely to change. Not having to handle a key reduces exposure to lead.The lock functions well. It was easy to install (to replace existing deadbolt) and the result was the cylinder turns easily, it fits properly, and works smoothly. Locking and unlocking from inside is just a turn of the large lever. Locking from outside involves pushing the top “Schlage” button and turning the knob to lock the deadbolt. Unlocking from outside, you can either enter the 4 digit combo into the keypad and turn the knob, or you can press the Schlage button to illuminate the keypad and then enter the combo and turn the knob.A 4 digit combo is quick and secure enough for the level of security this whole product is intended for. It provides for more than 3000 possible combinations, so a brute force attack on the combination is not as likely as a brute force attack on the door jamb or window. This is not a high security product, as it is intended for doors that can be kicked in, breached with a ram, or bypassed. The buttons appear to be durable and not likely to soon reveal discrepancies in use, but the combination can be changed easily to level the use of different buttons. The lock also supports multiple combinations, and therefore temporary combinations.I looked at alternatives, but determined this simple option is best. I imagine future cars (and houses) will have two-factor authentication to use — you’ll need to have something (probably a digital certificate with private key on your smartphone device) and to know something (a PIN), but you’ll probably have an (slightly less secure) option to pre-enter or save the PIN so that you’ll be able to open the door or use the car just by being near it. This combination lock won’t unlock just because you’re nearby, but it is a pretty easy PIN to enter. I looked at alternatives that include Bluetooth or Wifi connectivity, but they all involved a proprietary service with subscription or a device that was too expensive and unproven.I don’t have long term results for this product yet, but expect it will fair well for several years to come. The brushed nickel finish on my Schlage door set failed with peeling varnish after about 5 years. I would have thought it would be nickel plated, but apparently they coat it in some kind of plastic varnish and it comes off. Because of that, I also doubt this combo deadbolt product is really brushed nickel, but instead it is probably the same fake painted-on finish.Edit: It’s 2 years later and this lock continues to work brilliantly. I bought another for the door between the garage and house. Before I bought the second, I looked into “smart” locks and what’s available today. The best feature they offer is automatic locking/relocking so you don’t have to remember to lock the door on the way out — but any lock that uses a motor to move the deadbolt is going to run the battery down faster and will depend on good alignment of the bolt with the strikeplate. My door is not misaligned, but the reality is that changing temperature and humidity causes the door frame to move. I think I prefer to use a little muscle and lock the door myself rather than depending on Alexa to do it for me. With this lock, I don’t even need to bother with a key to lock or unlock it. It’s great.

Great lock. Easy to use and install. Life changing.
Easy to use and easy to install. Durable and survives the test of time. Great device. Easy to teach new users. Great price for what it is. Never look for your house keys again.

I replaced a Schlage deadbolt with this so the installation was a breeze. Adding codes was also very easy. I just followed the steps in the manual. It’s so convenient. I only got one key though.

Works really well so far. Like the fact that the latch is not moterized, which can be unreliable. When you enter the propped code it engages the latch so you can manually turn it. No proper code and the latch just free spins. With motorized latches there can be issues times when the door fails to lock due to the motor not filling pushing the deadbolt in, and often those types of locks will not give you any visual clue that the door is not locked. This one doesn’t have that issue because you turn the latch manually after you enter the code so you know
