  • Can use physical key when lock malfunctions,
  • Glitchy app, finicky keyless entry, Circuitous and unreliable remote access sharing
  • We regret to say that the Kwikset Kevo is one of the very few products we've tested that really didn't show us any redeeming qualities...

  • Mobile app has connectivity issues, Extra permanent eKeys have to be purchased for $1.99 each
  • The Kwikset Kevo Smart Lock is my first experience with an electronic lock and I'm hooked. Now I want one for my walk through garage door too. Other than the issue with the app not allowing me to see the lock / unlock status when I'm at home, the plastic...

  • Overall we were very impressed with the Kevo Smart Lock from Kwikset. While there were a few issues we hope are addressed in future releases (namely the soon to be fixed lack of Android support) the overall package the Kevo provides makes it hard ignore i...

  • Available online for less than $200, the Kwikset Kevo is certainly an investment over a standard door lock, but adds significant convenience for those seeking smarter ways to secure their home. While the lock itself is larger than you'd like (on the insid...

  • Did it make my home smarter or dumb it down? In theory this is an awesome product and I would have loved for this to work for me, but sadly it didn't work in the way that I needed it to. I'm from NY and I understand the need to have locks that work, howev...

  • This product has the fewest technical support resources of the smart locks in our review
  • The Kwikset SmartCode 916 can improve your home's security and combine with most home automation systems. The lock lacks a few convenience features, and its technical support doesn't compare well with that of the best smart locks. This is a good lock by i...

  • Excellent construction, Simple operation, Bluetooth fobs and physical keys included
  • Expensive, No Android support, Short Bluetooth range
  • Right now? If you have an iPhone, and if you live in a house with a family with a bunch of iPhones, and if all those family members keep their iPhones charged and ready and with them at all times, then the $329 Kevo Kwikset smart lock is really, really co...
