Easy to install but.....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this some time back and it's average at best. At least half of the time I will need to unlock my phone to get the app to work and even then it doesn't always unlock on the first try. Also if I have my phone in my pocket and walk outside the door will lock without me touching it. Very frustrating if you're just going outside.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this lock

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this lock about 6 mo ago. I love that I can use my phone to unlock the door. Also that I can send a code to people so that they can get into the house! I've had to use that feature a couple times! LOVE it! I think the only bad thing I can say about it is the fob doesn't ever work correctly. Also, when you come home you have to wait for your phone to connect to the internet before you can get in. Sometimes it's slow, not always though. But overall I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Life is easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the first generation and it was great. Then I changed to the second generation lock and it has been working remarkable. The ease of setup is a big issue for me. It took a screwdriver to install and was so simple, I could do it blindfolded.
The kid across the hall thinks that he has magic, as he wants to touch it to let me in. Yet when I am inside, the touch on the outside of the door does not function. I feel secure, it is remarkable when I am carrying things as it just takes a touch.
One of the best things about having this lock is that I don't have to take my keys, in my pockets, when I go out for dinner or drinks. Just my phone. Never failed me to date and I love my lock !!!!

Doesn't work very well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The idea behind this product is wonderful but my key fob needs to be reprogrammed about once a week because it regularly stops working. Additional key fobs are too expensive. The bluetooth feature works great on my girlfriend's iPhone but doesn't work with many other phones. I have to use a regular key to open it and regret purchasing this Kevo product. The features sounded great but it simply doesn't work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No more keys!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed two Kēvo blue tooth locks 6 months ago. It was easy to install and setup on phone. It works great!! Keeping track of history is a great feature. Sending eKey is awesome!! Ability to rekey to any key yourself!! I only have a few issues otherwise it would be 5 star. One is the app has to be running to unlock/lock door but you don't want the app to be running all the time because of phone battery power. If it was wifi instead of Bluetooth because of range problems so you can lock/unlock door from anywhere. I know you can pay a one time $99 to have that feature but this lock is already expensive. The other was my patio door lock that the lock hole isn't deep enough and I can't cut it deeper. It works but it shows up as jammed. This will cut the battery on the lock shorter because the lock has to try 2-3 times to fully extend. There is no setting to shorten the lock extension. Other than that it's a wonderful thing to be keyless!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well but...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product for my condo which I am away from for months of the year. I particularly liked the feature that would allow me to provide a 1-time or multiple use code to a visitor to enter while I'm away. I installed the deadbolt lock which went smoothly & without incident & it works reasonably well. However, I learned subsequent to installation that it only works with an iPhone. I carry an Android and plans to make this product compatible are vague at best. I like the product but wish it were compatible with my phone.

We have had ours for a long time. It works very well for us and we also really like the kēvo plus that we added later on. Primary reason we purchased it is because it worked with our nest system.

Nice lock, good functionality, easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great lock, easy to install, app is easy to navigate. My only issue is the $99 upcharge to add Kevo Plus functionality. If you have any kind of 'Smart Home' setup, you might be better off using their z-wave version as it integrates to smart hubs easier.
