  1. As a locksmith I can honestly say that there are many more downsides to the Kwikset smartkey then there are up sides. Any Kwikset smartkey you can take a different key than what is currently keyed using a pair of pliers like you would have on a multi-tool on your belt you can pop open the lock and it will not damage it to the point where the homeowner will never know that the lock is open to any and all Kwikset keys. As a locksmith I can honestly tell you they’re a piece of junk get rid of them. Please do not give homeowners false hope. Schlage once had a line like this because of that exact same issue they pulled the line.

  2. Agree – buy something else. We’ve had for 2 years and switched to another brand – (1) batteries have to be replaced every 2 to 3 months depending upon use with no way to monitor power. So, when the batteries die, so does the lock. Keep a key hidden somewhere. We’ve used it a few times. (2) Mounting isn’t designed very well. The unit slips and slides at the top end. (3) The WifFi app and link are unreliable.
