Kwikset 2-3/8" to 2-3/4"HALO Keypad Wi-Fi Smart Lock in Satin Nickel

This is the 3rd Halo lock I have bought. I have on house and rental property. They work well and the ease of setup, with clear directions, are wonderful. The app works great also and is very easy to use for one or multiple properties / doors

I've had this lock for over a year and don't know why I haven't gotten rid of it yet! Yes, it's convenient having a smart lock, BUT, it burns through batteries like it owns stock in Everyready! I put new alkaline batteries in 5 days ago and it is already giving a low battery warning. The longest the batteries have lasted without a low battery warning is 2 weeks. The smart lock is maybe used once a week; other times are all manual open/close. So now, most of the time I just take out the battery pack and only use it manually. The AI help says to make sure lock is aligned properly (locksmith installed), use alkaline batteries, and make sure firmware is up to date. All boxes checked! So, Unless you want to spend all your money on batteries, don't buy this lock!!!!!

My friend had an electronic door lock and the guest access is random and cannot be created by the administrator. What a deal breaker. This has a fast interface. The app opens fast and unlocks instantly. Good job. Notification are sent to the phone on who accessed the lock and when the battery is low. Response with Google home is slow. It may be the pod itself.

We have four of these Halo Keypad Wi-Fi Enabled Smart Locks. Although the lock and keypad work well, the frustration comes from the "Update Now--Firmware Update Available" notification which is on the screen for each of the locks every time I open the app. It instructs the user to get close to the lock and press update. On all four of the locks, I have tried to update, but none of them will connect. Upon a search, the instructions are to toggle the bluetooth button, which I have done, and I receive the same error message every time. I worry that one day the locks will not work in my app because I haven't done the update yet. My husband and son cannot update their apps either. After searching online, I found there are many others with this frustration. If I knew now what I didn't know then, I would have purchased another brand besides Kwikset.

I bought the Kwikset Halo keypad deadbolt at the end of July 2024. Installation wasn’t the easiest, but I managed it on my own in about an hour. The trickiest part was getting the Bluetooth pairing to work. I’ve had very few issues with the lock since installation. I think I’ve replaced the batteries only 3 or 4 times thus far, but I make sure to use name-brand Duracell batteries. They seem to give the best bang for my buck. The most frustrating issue that seems to recur every few months is that I have to repair my lock with my phone Bluetooth. Not a dealbreaker, but still frustrating. Overall, if given the choice, I would still purchase this lock. The ease of setting up new codes & sharing access in the app is a big selling point for me. However, the Kwikset app could be more user-friendly.

I love so many of the features of this deadbolt, but I don't know if I'll keep it because it's so insanely loud. I bought it so my kids could have an easier (quieter) entrance when coming home late, but the noise wakes me up so it defeats the purpose.

I love the features of this deadbolt, but it is so incredibly loud, I might uninstall it. I got it so my kids would have an easier (and quieter) entrance to the house late at night, but it's so loud it wakes me up every time.

Worked well for about 6 months until the winter. I noticed the battery terminals rusting; cleaned them lightly and it worked fine for a month. After the batteries EMOdied again it stopped working I’ve tried decal new batteries and nothing works; additionally the entire terminal is rusted. Is this a warranty issue?

Absolutely Ridiculous software. Poorly written software written by morons. No support available 24-7. So if you need assistance after hours you are doomed. Inadequate support FAQs.

I installed this lock exactly two years ago and I love it. Easy installation if you are replacing an existing deadbolt (i.e. there is an existing hole in the door). Easy to set up the software interface with an iPhone and Google Home (I use both). Lock has worked flawlessly for two years, locally and remotely. As secure as any consumer deadbolt. Love that it has a smart keyhole that easily can be rekeyed by the homeowner to work with existing Kwikset keys - serves as a backup or for continued acess for legacy key holders. Easy to assign or remove codes and apply custom limits on each code (e.g. anytime, or certain days/times, one time or repeating). Battery life is adequate but not great (lasts a few months), but another plus is that it uses standard AA batteries so there's no need to stock exotic batteries.
