Kwikset Kevo Bluetooth Deadbolt 925 - Smart Lock, Satin Nickel - 1 Pack, Silver

Well I installed as directed and it took about 2 hours due to issues with connecting. After installation was completed and key fab was programmed, it seemed to work as intended. After about a week the app started failing on my iPhone with connecting to to the locks. After having to reboot my phone, restart the app, even pull the batteries from the lock itself, finally got my connection back to lock or unlock this device. Works for a couple of days, and once again, drops the connection to lock or unlock. While outside trying to open the door, I have to touch the device more than 3 times to get it to open. Sometimes having to put the key fab so close to the lock that it would be less time consuming just taking out my keys and opening the door manually. Should have researched this product a little better before purchasing and installing.

This was installed on our apartment door before we moved in, so we have no choice about its existence because we can't remove it. However, the choice to stop using it always remains, and the longer we stay here.. the more I consider this. Obviously there are all the advantages of not having to use an actual key to open your door, which probably becomes most convenient when your hands are full of grocery bags, or whatever else that prevents them from being useful in any additional way. But half the time, I will touch the lock and wait for it to open, and it doesn't open. So I touch it again. Usually it opens on the second try, but not always. This is incredibly aggravating because my phone is never more than half a foot away from the lock as it is always in my left pocket. I'm very tall, so distance between the lock and my phone cannot possibly be an issue. At this point, it would be faster for me to physically pull my keys out of my other pocket and unlock the door that way, than it is for me to use this application that is supposed to do it for me. What is the point, then? The batteries have been replaced, the software updates have been installed and are up to date. To me there is nothing more infuriating than standing there like an idiot, waiting for your own door to let you into your residence after touching the lock repeatedly. Burns me right up.
