Why did you pick this product vs others?:Installed quickly and without issue. We owned a different Schlage lock for almost team years but a button fell off and we replaced with this one because it’s a reliable and great brand. Would definitely recommend.

A bit tricky to install (in spite of assurances in the literature that anyone can do this in less than 15 minutes). I am pretty handy and it took me a half hour. So, take your time. The directions are accurate but you need to follow them precisely. It is an electronic lock and such precision does make sense.That said....this lock is Perfect! Easy to use. Absolutely does the job. Looks good too. A couple of features my people really like: a small light that shines on the key pad so you can enter even in limited light; and easy to read numbers.I have a small business and I needed to easily secure one corridor. More keys for about half of my people and they were already frustrated with how many they had to carry already so this was perfect.Resetting the combo is not as easy as the instructions indicate but after a couple of tries I got it. Again, the result of a precision tool and in the end I appreciate that.

So glad I made this purchase. Installation was extremely easy. I had my old one off and this new one installed on my door in no more than 15 minutes. Works great and looks great. I will choose a keypad door handle over a keyed one from now on.

EDIT: It's broken. Twice.This should be pretty self explanatory. After more-or-less working well for a couple years, our Schlage lock has broken twice. The first time it was the actual latch hardware inside the lock. I replaced it. The second time, it seems to be something inside the lock's hardware.I've now had to break into my house far too many times. I'm looking fora replacement, anything that's not made by Schlage.Original review below:----After 10-years, the door handle between our house and garage was beginning to wear out. After a few unsuccessful repair attempts, I decided to replace it with a "smart" lock.I'm a self-admitted nerd, and I thought this might be a good opportunity to get a bluetooth-compatible lock that could be unlocked with our smartphones. But, after some research and a quick cost-benefit analysis, I decided that at least today, that would be more hassle than it's worth.So, I did a bit more research on keypad locks, and settled on the Schlange. It was a great choice.Installation and programming was straightforward. The quality of hardware is (insofar as I can tell from about a month of use) top-notch. The features I like are:* This lock completely eliminates the need for a key. There's no either/or, or re-keying to match your existing locks, because you simply can't use a key on this lock.* You can easily program a wide range of key-codes. So you could, for example, use an easy-to-remember combination that you use other places as your key-code, but give a different key-code to a house-cleaner that's stopping by while you're on vacation.* The battery is supposed to last a very long time, and warn you when it's getting low. But if you ever do have a dead battery situation, there are two cleverly concealed ports on the front of the lock that will let you "jump start" the lock with another 9-volt battery.The only thing I don't like is how short the duration of the "assist" light is. You press a button, and a little LED illuminates the keypad, but the length of the illumination is barely long enough to enter a 4-digit code. I'm sure this is to save on battery usage, but it's just not long enough.All-in-all, I'd buy this again in a second, and recommend it to my friends.
