Amazon Basics Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Door Lock with Auto Lock, Touch-Control Keyless Entry, Customizable User Codes, Easy Installation, Contemporary, Matte Black, 1-Pack

Workhorse of a basic lock! We bought this two years ago, hoping basic equal better. It has paid off! Battery life is solid, counted in months, not weeks. Consistently works for a family of four’s main entrance. It opens and closes at least 10 times a day often 20+. Like with all auto locks, you sometimes need to fiddle with the strike plate because it has to align perfectly. You cannot be required to push or pull on your door handle to line it up. If you have an old house in an old door, this might not be a great solution for you. But we installed the new door and frame recently and this works perfectly day in and day out.

I gave 5 stars to Tech Support even though I didn't need any. ( Everything else was so perfect that I didn't have the heart to grade less.) I installed it on a wrought iron gate. Because you can reach right thru the gate, I took it upon myself to hack-saw off the thumb turner - at my own risk of ruining the lock. But it worked great, so for those who might be afraid someone could break a close-by window and reach in and unlock it, there is your solution. Just be aware that if you want to unlock it from the inside, you will have to come up with a solution such as to saw a slot in the residual thumb turner post and use a screw driver. For me, I just reach thru between the pickets and enter a code. Imagine: You can set 10 different codes! One for the pool guy, one for the gardener, one for the maid, one for your favorite neighbor, etc. You can also set "one time use" code, like for the occasional repairman. Tip: The coding instructions are excellent, so follow them closely. The same goes for installing the lock. This item is very attractive and modern looking. It works very smoothly. The keys? I guess if you have dead batteries. Very reasonably priced. I can't imagine more satisfaction - even from a lock costing 10X more. Yeah. You guessed it: I like it. But if it lets me down, you'll hear about it.

Easy to install and works well. Not crazy about the buttons, which sometimes take a press or two to register. But there's a light that shows the button press and usually they're fine. I did have an issue where a gear inside the mechanism was seizing up, about a week after installing. I took apart the lock and re-seated the gear with a pair of pliers. So far so good and it hasn't happened again.

Installed on our back door with no issues. AT this point no failures. Would recommend buying.

Update: 40 days after purchase and about 2 weeks after installation, the deadbolt encountered some kind of error, locked itself, and took no codes. It emitted random beeps. Amazon brand AA's at 1.46v. FAULT MODE IS LOCKED OUT. This is a problem if no key holder is present. I'm going to give it a reset to see if it will take programming in the interim, but I'm sending it back because now I can't trust it. Update: took programming and promptly glitched again. Original review: (**) Installation was a breeze. There is no real difference between this deadbolt set and anything else on the market in this regard. Either you know how to do it or can figure it out, or not. It installed directly in place of my old deadbolt with a simple twist of the shank. Decent hardware with one extra wood screw, though longer screws for the strike are usually a good idea. Feature-wise, this is pretty sweet for the price. You can set one-time codes or manage six codes individually. I appreciate that you can have longer codes, though mathematically they throw a brick through the window. Auto-lock timer is a real bonus. You can control these particulars using the cheat sheet inside the battery cover. There is provision for some kind of remote panel or fob, but the instructions are sketchy on this. I bought this contemporary (rectangular) oiled bronze deadbolt to accompany a Schlage oiled bronze handle. It isn't the particularly lustrous partner in this companionship, though let's face the fact that you have an array of eleven white synthetic buttons populating the exterior block. It does look better and more subtly reflective at night under ultra-warm exterior lighting, and the overall appearance of the door The interior unit is a tad uglier. There is a 1/8" bezel between the door and the shell, rather than this seam being contained within the shell. It looks like you could use a can opener on it. The division between the battery cover and the lever housing is more pronounced than on pricier models. The cover is very thin metal, and when I reinstalled it to the grooves, the sharp edge shaved off small slivers of plastic from the inner housing. This entire assembly feels cheap and flimsy. The two included keys are very lightweight metal and I intend to replace them right away. The "bolt" of the deadbolt is a bit odd. There is a hole in the tip of the silver-colored metal bolt with a black pin of about 1/4" diameter inside that appears to run the length of the bolt. Is the silver outer a fragile sabot for the hardened core pin? The electromechanical portion is the greatest source of concern. Compared to the Kwikset #450191 this went in for, the motor sounds weak and labored. I did not have the foresight to compare the force of the deadbolt engagement, and obviously if there is an obstruction we would want these to slip, but it is extremely easy to stop the bolt from engaging. The power of the actuator, the durability of the clutch, and the quality of the motor all seem suspect to me. Overall I feel this was not a wise purchase. The value of initial quality is marginal, which may portend a tragic fumbling for keys sooner than planned. Time to test the garage door openers. If one has barred windows and secondary latches wit high security in mind, they're not shopping this deadbolt. This is a "better than nothing" solution and if you're working on a beautiful interior, double the price. It is what it is.

Easy to instal and use. It has been so handy to never need a key to get in and out of the house!

I have installed many electronic deadbolts. This has the same functionality of Schlage or Kwikset deadbolts but at a fraction of the price. Pro: * I really like the physical buttons. I have used other electronic deadbolts with touch sensitive keypads. However, the humidity here in Florida makes those very flaky. * I like the automatic lock timer feature. It will lock the door even if I forget to do it. * The installation was very simple, much easier than Schlage or Kwikset products. The directions are very clear and tell you everything that you need to do. Don't forget to have the lock configure itself for left-hand or right-hand door. The lock will auto-detect which is nice. Con: * It took me a couple minutes to find the factory programming code. It is in the manual and is the same for all locks. I was looking for a unique code on a sticker somewhere. That is what Schlage and Kwikset do. But the factory programming code is in the manual. Just make sure you change it because it is the same for all locks. Overall, I really like this electronic deadlock, and I would highly recommend it. I am going to get more for other houses.

It works and it looks good, but the keypad responsiveness is very slow. You have to carefully slowly press each button and wait for the beep. Would not purchase again.

La he comprado 4 veces y en todas se conserva a la fecha en perfecto estado y funcionamiento; su instalación es sencilla. Sin duda la seguiré comprando cada que la necesite, su precio es también muy bueno.

Replaced an existing keypad lock that died. This one installed in minutes into the existing holes. Just removed old one and screwed in new one. Powered it up and followed the programming instructions. Had it all working in 15 minutes flat. I like that I did not have to drill any more holes in my door to mount it, just have to fill a couple of holes from the old one and touch up the paint a bit. I like it so much I ordered more for my other doors in the house.

Highly recommend this product! Although at first it did not work, we found out the cord was cracked thats why it was not working, maybe due to packaging (who knows) but then we still give it a chance and ordered a replacement of the same product. Worth it! Plus delivery was a lightning. Pruduct was decent and not cheaply made. We're gonna order more for the rest of our exterior doors. Hoping it will last and work on winter. I will update my review once it will not work on winter.

Excelente cerradura, elegante y sobre todo que se programa para cierre automático y también trae sus llaves por si se agotan las pilas. Súper satisfecha!

This Amazon Basics keypad deadbolt is a great upgrade. The matte black finish looks modern, programming codes is simple, and the touch-control keypad is responsive. It feels very sturdy and secure with the keyed option as backup. Installation was straightforward and it works reliably every day. Great value for a smart-looking lock.
