Batteries die...fact!

Thank you for posting this video. It helped me out tremendously!

For a few years now have had the Camelot version of Schlage coded locks on every exterior door of our present house and have loved them. Never have to carry a key although they have key access if needed. Recently bought the Encode Smart WiFi version for a new house that we are moving to and saw them at a friends rental cabin who is also a realtor and through the app she can set a code from her phone remotely for access to renters or delete a code remotely. She also gets notifications when they are accessed. Loved the idea so I bought two for the new home and can't wait to install them. Leaving the ones at our current house for the new buyers which will be an absolute plus for them. I personally am a Schlage fan and would sell them if I could. People may think they are a little pricey but one has to pay for quality and how can you put a value on home security. Recommend Schlage and these highly and I don't say that about every product I buy!!!

They said when you install you shouldn't use a drill or tighten those last 2 machine screws to tight as it may damage the lock. Great video thanks for the share

Great informative video 👍🏿

Mr. Locksmith, what are the specs on the Primus cylinder upgrade that you recommend in this video for the Schlage Encode?

Yes you can set up Alexa to operate it. You have to set it up with a voice code for security. I just got it with my new condo and Amazon Home Services set it up for me.

Awesome. Thank you

Very helpful. Thanks.

Tapered deadbolt is a nice feature. Gives you some extra play with the strike plate. Took me roughly 10 mins to install and configure this. One drawback though, is that it's easy to configure for Alexa to lock the door with the Schlage Home App, you have to manually configure Alexa to unlock the door.

Great review!

Thanks. Figured it was the batteries that went bad.

Great video. Thanks! We have a Schlage Connect that we want to upgrade to the Encode, since we have an Alexa hub and I don't want to buy a Z-wave hub just to have the remote capabilities.

Thanks!

Which cylinder should I replace with? Can you provide a link for a recommended cylinder.

Very helpful. I think they recommend no rechargable batteries because (of the different chemistry of rechargables) they are actually 1.2 volt. So with 4 battery operation, you are quite a ways off at 4.8v right from the gitgo - for alkaline you be over 6v.

Can you say more about replacing the cylinder with Schlage Primus? I'm curious about the process and how I'd get the Primus cylinder and whether any modification is necessary for using it in the existing Encode Plus lock body.

Is there a version for the lever stricker instead of the deadbolt?

how to drill the electronic lock during the lock out ? if they don't have override cylinder or they have drill resistant cylinder? thanks

Nice

Hi Sr. Terry It is possible you can tell me the thickness of the door where you installed the lock. I would really appreciate it !! It is to recreate a that same thickness in sheet metal.

Alkalines have higher voltage than rechargeable, noticed that in my Logitech wireless mouse where the battery level sits a tad lower fully charged vs alkalines

Can I replace a Multipoint lock. - hangover with this type of lock or do you recommend something else. Thanks

Is this suitable for an outdoor gate.? Would get full Sun and open to the elements.

Hello. I just purchased this deadbolt and was wondering what high security cylinder you would recommend to replace the one that comes with the unit. Thank you very much

*06:26* A Kwikset combo pack i purchased does not have a very secure deadbolt strike (Short strike with 1-1/2" screws). 6.Dec.2021

You mention you don’t see why not rechargeable batteries but it’s because rechargeable batteries (NMH) are 1.2 volts and disposable batteries are 1.5 volts. Depending on the electronics of the lock 1.2 volt batteries might cause problems. Lithium rechargeable batteries are 1.5 volts but are very expensive.

How was the rechargeable battery? Did they work well with it?

We installed one on a door that we don't have the spare key for readily available and cannot get inside it has no jumper points of contact on the outside that we know of any help or do we just have that thing busted off and replaced with something different?

Can you explain the purpose of the bottom door handle? Are you suppose to rekey it to match the deadbolt or have 2 separate keys? thanks

Are there any smart locks with two locking mechanisms operating off the same key pad? My old door has a key hole in the circular door handle plus a deadbolt. So in theory it seems as though that would make it somewhat harder to kick the door in. Would you recommend someone buying a second system for the same door? (Two key pads might get tiring though) Thanks for the great content sir!

@24hrMrLocksmith

You didn’t listen to the video on why not to use Lithium batteries :-)

According to the specs on the Schlage website the Encode is NOT Bluetooth. It is WiFi only. More importantly it will not work with HomeKit. It will not work with z-wave or Zigbee devices either. Schlage produces good locks but it is really corporate nonsense to have three different locks (Encode, Sense and Connect) where they could easily integrate WiFi, Bluetooth and Z-wave into one lock. It is utterly confusing to the average consumer.

ANYTHING that has bluetooth or wifi can be hacked.

Standard rechargeable Ni-MH, like Eneloop, batteries won't work because they are only 1.2v each. 1.2 x 4 only gives you 4.8v versus the 6v of throw away Alkaline batteries. A solution to this is the rechargeable Li-Ion batteries that output 1.5v each. If you are using rechargeable batteries, I'm going to assume you have at least 2 sets. They are lithium, so you have the "single beep and they are dead" issue, but you should have a second set already charged to immediately replace the dead ones. Problem solved.

I don’t think this lock works with Apple HomeKit

@24hrMrLocksmith

The Schlage Sense is compatible with Apple HomeKit. Apple HomeKit just needs Bluetooth from the lock.

thats all fine but he repeats many things many times why doesnt he show us how to connect it to wifi as well using all this time repeats battery drainage repeats too many things

Terrible lock I had the wireless one with the app and it can be brute forced in less then 5 minutes the convenient part is it even tells you when the hacker opens your door. Right on your phone for you. Stay away from devices that are nest and alexia integrated as these are even easier to brute force. Shame on this locksmith for saying it is a good product. If you want security dont get wireless bluetooth or wifi. You've been warned.
