Tools and Hardware Reviews of Schlage BE365VCAM619 Camelot Keypad Deadbolt, Satin Nickel
Customer Review: Well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased a home and the first thing I did was replace the locks on the front and back door. I installed this on the front door, which matched the existing Schlage hardware. Installation took less than 5 minutes, using only a screwdriver. It really can't get much easier than that.
Since I'm doing some work on the floors and am still on the lease at my apt, I only go to the house on the weekends. Wouldn't you know it, I forget to bring the keys to the new deadbolt on the back door. With this lock on the front door, it wasn't an issue.
This is one of the more expensive keypad locks out there, but in my opinion, it's one of the best looking. It was well worth the investment for a solid, secure, good-looking lock.
Customer Review: Works great !
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE:
I spend a heavy winter with this lock. It is still operational with the same battery.
Review:
The item arrived within 6 days of the order. The installation was a piece of cake, and it appeared to be more solid than an regular Schalge lock. It took me about 15 minutes to install the lock, the instructions are straight forward.
I highly recommend this lock to anyone how is considering replacing the his/her lock. I really hoped that it had not had the key option to be more secure. Keyed locks are easy to bump.
Amazon is indicating that the list price is $238, but it is actually about $129 (at Home Depot as regular price). Still it is a good buy for $100.
Customer Review: Keep your keys in your pocket
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my most favorite things and I would include it in a Sound of Music part 2 melody.
Installation was a snap, operation is simple, and its solid. I have had some other mechanical type units in the past, and they were garbage. This thing has been heavily used and it keeps working great. Plus if your not at the house, someone else can get inside easily if tell them a permanent or temp pass code (you can program many of them if you like) I also bought this item to go along with it: Schlage FE285 CAM 619 ACC RH Camelot Front Entry Handleset with Interior Accent Lever for Right Handed Door, Satin Nickel
Customer Review: Shorted out
Summary: 2 Stars
We purchased one of these locks for our back door and an apartment that that we own. We did like the convenience, at least until it did not work. We have just gone through about five days of heavy rain which seemed to short out some of the buttons. Currently, none of the buttons are working which has left my wife stranded with our two kids. locked out of the house. As I am writing this review, I am on hold waiting to speak with Schlage customer service.....(8 minutes later). They have said that they would replace the lock, but it would take about 20 days to send us a new one........This may be the exception to a relatively good product but I'd rather not wait nearly a month to use our main entry.Customer Review: Holds up in the cold
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been using this for about 3 months so far. At the present time there is no storm door over the lock, so its not protected from the elements. It been exposed to at least -20F, snow and winds here in MN, and we've had no issues with its operation.
The installation could have gone better. I think the instructions were more complicated than it had to be. The other issue I had was the precut holes in the door frame wouldn't accommodate the large bolt. There was nothing in the directions to even suggest how to overcome this.
Also, as I've become more conscious of where stuff I buy comes from, I checked the box, this is made in Mexico.
