Kwikset SmartCode 888 Smart Lock (98880-004) - Secure Keyless Entry for Your Home

Brian Mills: I bought this item for my security system since it is wireless. I was able to set it up very easily and it works great. My only complaint is that it's super loud. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that has a Z Wave system or wireless security system that will control your door lock.

Steve: Easy installation and integration w ring alarm system is great. Looks nice as well

Only think I don’t like about it is that the battery powered unlocking and locking (vs manual) is surprisingly loud.

Justin E Perry: I got two of these when I installed my new Ring alarm system. They integrate with the system perfectly so I can lock the doors from my phone app or Amazon Echo, and when unlocks the door, I can have them disarm the system at the same time so there's no fumbling around trying to input the same code twice with your arms filled with groceries. My only complaint is that sometimes the buttons get stuck after pressing them. It's easy to get them unstuck but when it happens you usually have to start over and enter your code again.

A bit of advice: There are tons of these kinds of smart locks on the market. Obviously, you want one that works with your alarm system but if you have a system like Ring, then there are lots of models to choose from. Check with your local locksmith or whoever you plan to install and servicr the lock on the kinds of models they know and prefer before making your choice.

I picked this one because I had a Kwikset smart lock before and it worked really well. But my locksmith wasn't really familar with Kwikset and actually had some trouble installing it. He prefers another brand which would have worked with my system as well and would have been easier...

Carly Cotton: Summary:
1) Needs a compatible hub, see list below
2) Your interior thumb shaft may not light up correctly, just cosmetic problem, doesn’t affect functionality. And if your savvy you can take apart the lock with a few small Phillips screws and fix it yourself.

It’s a cool lock. Just for clarification, when the description said that you can connect the lock to your phone with a third party controller I assumed you could use Alexa or google home...not the case. I reached out to kwiksets support form online about connecting it to my phone and here was their reply:

“Your Smartcode 888 unit requires a third-party HUB to be able to work remotely, depending on the HUB you get you will download their app, we have listed a few Z-Wave HUBs you can use down below.

Z-Wave HUBs:

1. SmartThings by Samsung
2. Honeywell
3. Wink
4. ADT alarm
5. Ring Alarm
6. Vera
“
A bad note:
I have replaced all the door hardware in my house before and this was no different EXCEPT the turn piece shaft that the interior thumb knob connects to was positioned upside down and wouldn’t line up (other people had the same issue it seems). I think it is...

Maggie L Bohannon: We ordered three of these locks to install on a vacation rental property with the intention of connecting them to our Ring system. Ultimately, we are now able to control and monitor lock activity from our phones (huge plus!) but that was only after a few hours of trouble shooting. Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 locks were factory set for the 'opposite side' and the instructions do not provide adequate information about changing the direction of the mechanical rotation. In other words, my husband had to do some digging to determine how to reconfigure the locks so that we could install them with the keypad facing the exterior of the door and the lock itself actually rotating toward the door frame (as opposed to the interior of the door). This process was lengthy and frustrating and certainly not anticipated on a short time frame for installation. To add to the frustration, we discovered that one of the locks arrived with a disconnected internal wire and the lock itself would not engage or move. Thanks to YouTube, we were finally able to resolve the issues. For anyone purchasing to use with a Ring system, we did have to move our base and extender around a bit so that all 3 locks were...

Red_Writer: Order arrived on time, the lock was was easy to install and works really well so far. It looks great against my door and makes getting into the house so much more convenient that fumbling with keys.

Martin St-amand: J'ai acheté kwikset 888 pour ma porte externe du garage car les enfants oublie souvent de la barrer. Facile d'installation, beau produit, je l'utilise avec mon Hub Smartthings 3, mais avec application smartthings il n'y as pas beaucoup d'options apart status, barrer, dé-barrer.
** doit utiliser Smartthings classic et ajouter une automation pour avoir accès à la programmation de codes a distance ainsi que les notification **

TRAVISW HIGGINS: More rating this for the overall experience rather than the product itself. The instructions and packaging were all well done, installation was easy enough. The only problem was that there was something broken inside the gearbox. The deadbolt would only retract about halfway no matter how many times I tried re-teaching it. Returning the lock worked out without any hassle which is why 4 stars... The product itself would obviously get zero being that it was dead on arrival.
