2.0 out of 5 stars >29 months in, and can no longer recommend this product., October 30, 2013

This review is from: Kwikset Kevo Smart Lock with Keyless Bluetooth Touch to Open Convenience in Satin Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
If you have an hour to blow, you can read details below. The too long didn't read synapses is thus:

Installed Oct 2013.

( - ) takes too long to respond to touch (almost faster to pull normal key out to unlock)
( - ) Calibration has been an issue from the start: door locks with no fob anywhere near unit. Has resulted in being locked out of house.
( - ) WAY too easy to brush against lock and unitentionally activate it. Even after living with the lock for two years and knowing this annoyance, it still happens at least once a week on me. And always happens with guests, who proceed to slam the door shut as though the deadbolt were not extended. Horrible feature that could have been easily engineered around.
( - ) Must purchase additional e-keys
( - ) Additional e-key users must register through Kwikset. Real PITA for guests who just want to download the darn app and use it to open the door like a normal key. Tis not family friendly. And,... Read more

Hi Plastic Doc -

We appreciate your thorough review and we are glad to hear of your overall satisfaction with your Kevo unit!

Thank you for your feedback regarding the additional charge for eKeys beyond the 2 eKeys that come included with the Kevo unit. We have sent and will continue to send an additional 5 eKeys to all of those who have or will purchase a Kevo unit before 12/1/13. These additional 5 eKeys will be automatically credited to the Owner account who initially set up the Kevo unit to their Smart device.

Also - if you remove Kevo's interior cover you will notice 4 small switches in the bottom right hand corner. Switch 1 controls the status LED. This flashing light communicates whether the door is locked or unlocked and flashes red for a low battery alert. This function can be turned on and off by the position of Switch 1.

Our goal is to provide a best in class service and ensure your complete satisfaction with our products. If you have any additional questions we invite you to contact our consumer service team directly at 1-800-327-5625.

2.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelmed, October 30, 2013
This review is from: Kwikset Kevo Smart Lock with Keyless Bluetooth Touch to Open Convenience in Satin Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
I had high hopes when first pre-ordering this product. It seemed to be what I was looking for, remote access that I can grant and take away with ease, no more key in my pocket, manage online and ensure security of my door. I even went to the product website to read up and understand more about the product. I thought I knew what I was getting into. Turns out they left a few things out. First, is how fussy the lock is with the location of your phone. If you stand a reasonable distance from the door, you can expect it to work occasionally. Even after multiple calibrations I can't stand more than 6-12 inches from the door to open it, even then it is not 100%. I have a brand new iPhone so it is not due to lack of latest technology. The fob that comes with it works fine from a normal standing distance. The second "gottcha" is that now additional e-keys "Past the free one" are $1.99 through an in-app purchase. Excuse me, I just spend over $200 on a lock, the least you can do is... Read more

Hello Chris. We wanted to provide an update to your Kevo review. With feedback like yours, and in an effort to improve the overall Kevo experience, we hope the 5 free additional ekeys made available to your account, for a total of 7 ekeys, helped improve your Kevo experience. We also recently just announced that all ekeys are now transferable, including the 2 original ekeys that came with your Kevo as well as any additional ekeys you purchased (and the 5 free ekeys). Transferable ekeys allow you to send an eKey to anyone, retrieve it when you no longer want them to have it and reassign that same eKey to another person. We invite you to call our consumer service team at 1-800-327-5625 if you have any questions. Our goal is to provide best in class service and ensure your complete satisfaction with our products. We appreciate your feedback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oct 2015 Update -- New Product, Great Potential once Setup. Customer Service Top Notch, and the Product can only get better., November 22, 2013

This review is from: Kwikset Kevo Smart Lock with Keyless Bluetooth Touch to Open Convenience in Satin Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
--October 2015 Update--
Check below for the original review. I have had 3 of these locks running day in and day out at my own house, my parents house, and my office. They are working great! People still are amazed when I just touch the lock and enter my home. They have since updated to allow my Android phone to work with them so I don't carry the fob around anymore. It works about 95% on the first try, and the other 5% usually just requires a second tap(still quicker than getting out my keys). That is pretty good considered I am using it in 3 different types of environments. For people having issues I would say calibrating it is essential to ensuring a reliable operation of the lock.

The locks get a little slow towards the end of the batteries life but that can easily be rectified by a new set of AAs. My parents are not tech savvy and both have the app and the fob on their keys so its rare that they have issues.

This product has saved my bacon many times,... Read more

Your life just got easier. With Kevo’s Touch-to-Open technology you can simply leave your smartphone in your pocket or purse upon entering; no more fumbling for your keys. Just touch the lock to open for the ultimate convenience. No smartphone? No problem. Enjoy the same touch to open convenience with the included fob. You can send an electronic key (eKey) to family, friends, or visitors who have a compatible Smartphone so they can use their phone as a key too. Receive notifications of lock activity and manage the lock and eKeys with the Kevo mobile app. In addition to the convenience, Kevo is incredibly secure. You can add, delete or disable eKeys from the mobile app or utilize the Lost Phone Reset should the unthinkable happen. This single cylinder deadbolt can be locked or unlocked by a key on the outside, or the turn button on the inside. The crisp, clean appearance of the Satin Nickel finish adds to the overall look of the product and brings a modern feel.
