2.4 GHz (or the lack of 5 Ghz) connectivity, shouldn't be viewed as a limitation. The range (distance) of 2.4 GHz is typically farther than 5 GHz, and given the very low data rate used by a smart lock, the relatively narrow bandwidth (normally 20 MHz) of a 2.4 GHz channel, as compared to a 5 GHz channel (40 or more MHz), is inconsequential in this application.

Awesome and straight to the point!

I am a manufacturer of Exhibitors for Kwikset in CDMX and this video will help me a lot, thanks

Have been using a schlage for years, not this model but basically their first model since probably 2008 or later and still works. Gotta replace batteries more often but works well otherwise.

2 misstatements. 1) The Schlage Encode can accept other cylinders, there's just one screw holding in the cylinder. 2) The Schlage Encode can also integrates with AirBnB. The higher security rating, the superior construction, and the 3 year warranty go hand-in-hand, and made it the logical choice for me. After all, all tech aside, you want a lock that will best secure your property.

@patricknourse9995

Yeah, it was my understanding that one could change the cylinder as well. I find it odd that a locksmith would omit this. Especially, because it will accept all pin high security cylinders than one can swap into any other Schlage deadbolt.

Right On! 🙌Thanks!

Good reviews. I appreciate that you as a professional highlight the features that are important to a lock. So many other reviews talk about the tech stuff only, and skip over the core lock functions. Speaking of which, I read that Kwickset drain batteries very quickly. Is that your experience? How do these brands compare on battery life?

@LocksmithRecommended

Most most of them do pretty well. The early ones went through batteries quicker. But I think most the manufacturers have it figured out. I have seen some defective units across all brands though.

Useful video, good idea to use our skillset this way! I wanted to note that in your cut in you mentioned the Schlage and Kwikset are all or nothing, which is true here. However the Schlage sense lockset requires a wifi module that can be added later if desired making it another contender in this conversation. I believe it also works with z wave but would need to check the product page to be sure. I've got a customer that ordered 4 encodes today and discovered they are hard to get this week, this video compares the exact options I am considering! Again, thanks for the video and I'll be subscribing!

PLEASE NOTE: Early 2000s, I went with Schlage as their locks have high security rating (mentioned in video). But, after 1 year, you could literally see the numbers pressed on my keypad (big negative) as the Schlage interface is not glass like the Yale. I called Schlage and they sent out a new one with no problem (plus on the company). I plan on going with Yale since video confirms re-keying to any other brand which is big. Also, the glass interface should eliminate (hopefully) the wear on the numbers and ability for threats to figure out passcode.

I live in FL and have had absolutely terrible luck with Schlage. The Encode is not weather sealed therefor it easily goes down to corrosive salt air and, even worse, humidity!

Hello I have a bilock first gen deadbolt now....but a hassle to always use keys.....would I be able to install that cylinder in the Yale model and have ease and key security at the same time ?

Just purchased the Yale-Assure (from your recommendation ) along with the Baldwin front entry handle set for a iron door I’m having installed. Other reviews mentioned not to use those two together. Are you familiar with Baldwin keyless pads? Can I use what I have together? I really like your videos.

@LocksmithRecommended

3 жыл бұрын

There's no reason you couldn't use them together. I suspect they are referring to being able to key them the same (use one key to unlock both locks, the Assure override key and the entry lever key), so that will depend on which keyway your Yale and Baldwin have. In many cases they will both be Schlage and you'll be able to key them to one key.

2.4GHz is preferable to 5GHz (not 5G) because of greater range. Your dead bolt doesn't need a high data rate, which is really the only advantage of 5GHz.

So my question is, what is the recommended setup then for the lever? I mean I don't want to add 2 keypads, it would be weird. I think some people just replace the keyed lever by a lever without key or so, but then isn't the security reduced in half?

We've never installed one so I cannot honestly say. However, two things to note. I know that rekeying this lock to your house key will void the warranty. That makes me pretty skeptical about the overall quality of the lock if something so common voids the warranty. I couldn't believe it so I confirmed this is true with their online customer support. They call it an unauthorized modification. Secondly, I'm always very skeptical of fingerprint technology put into such cheaply made products. Even on $1000+ safes, we've only ever found one fingerprint technology that seemed to work correctly. The issue is you get false positives and negatives. A false positive is when someone not enrolled comes up and the lock lets them in. False negative is when someone enrolled can't get in. Not saying that's a problem here, I've never used the lock, but I've seen it over and over and over again on other inexpensive biometric locks.

What about security option better than Schlager and Weiser?

You can drop a high security cylinder into the Yale product, but I'm not aware of any high security manufactures making smart locks for residential use.

wouldn't 2.4 ghz make it so you can deauth the lock?

You also forgot to mention that the Schlage Encode is also Fire Rated! Also I am pretty sure that UsCan offers replacement cylinders for the Schlage lock in different key ways . It would behoof you to do some more research before making a statement about no other available key ways for those locks.

I respectfully disagree. If the Encode is fire rated, I'm not aware of it, and either is Schlage. The parts spec sheet, their website, and their packaging make no mention of it or an upgrade for it (which you can get in the Yale).

​@@Undermeman That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing. You would think Schlage would put THAT on the box, and on the website, and list it as a feature under the product description / features on the website, like Yale and Kwikset do. I was not aware because their is no information other than the company price book that you graciously forwarded that would tell someone it is fire rated.

They are the same cylinders they put into their deadbolts. No better no worse. Although the Yale, you can stick a high security cylinder in.

The Assure door sense only for the wifi and not the Bluetooth model.

I appreciate the review. However none of these deadbolts is suitable when you have a glass front door and back door. Smash the glass and turn the knob on the inside and you are in. Where and the ones that are keyed on both sides for security?

@LocksmithRecommended

Yep. They don't make them. In fact, most new home's won't allow a regular double sided deadbolt either. It's against the new fire code.

From the video description. "Originally shot in 2019, nothing has changed. This video still holds true. We highlight some of the common smart lock features and their main differences for the three most popular smart locks of 2022. And our favorite from 2019 remains our favorite smart lock in 2022." But we are very excited! Yale, our favorite, has just released a new version of their product. Stay tuned!

I need a smart lock for an outdoor fencing door that has exposure to rain both front and back of the door. Is there a smart lock that has strong weather proof capacity to do that job?

@LocksmithRecommended

3 жыл бұрын

As of yet, none of the major lock manufactures offer smart locks that are weather prove on both sides since they're meant to be installed on doors. You can go with a mechanical lock for code access though.

Why don’t they just make keypads number dynamic instead of set 123.... it will easily address the fingerprint issue

You say they don't need a hub, but didn't Connect by August still require that small white Bridge to get plugged in nearby the door?

@LocksmithRecommended

True but that little bridge is plug in play. Really, just plug it in and you're done. What I meant to convey is that it does not require a third party hub, that has to be setup independently and connected to independently (like zwave and zigbee). Thanks for bringing up that oversight on my part. 👍

Has Schlage updated their lock to prevent use of Bump Keys?

@LocksmithRecommended

4 жыл бұрын

Bump keys are always a possibility in all standard cylinders. They do now come with anti-bump, anti-pick pins, but that only makes it a bit more difficult to do. Certainly not impossible. With the Yale lock, you can upgrade it to a high security cylinder.

I bought the kwikset and in less than six months I had to call the company for a replacement motor. Not a good sign.

only problem is with Schlage i was able to pick my non electronic lock in 10 seconds after purchasing a lock pick kit
