User Reviews

User reviews are mixed: some praise seamless HomeKit integration, easy setup, and responsive support; others report repeated connectivity and reliability problems, frequent lock-unavailable messages, local-only operation, infrequent app updates, and uninformative notifications. Overall, the app can work well for some users but struggles for many due to stability and maintenance challenges.
Pros
  • Strong HomeKit/Siri integration when functioning (some users call it a 'perfect HomeKit deadbolt').
  • Easy initial setup and quick connection to the lock for some users.
  • Responsive tech support and generally reliable operation in certain setups.
  • Long-term users report positive reliability in some scenarios.
Cons
  • Unreliable remote access and frequent 'lock unavailable' errors; often only works when near the door or with the app open.
  • Outdated app with long gaps between updates; issues discovering the lock; grey screen problems.
  • HomeKit control often works only on the local network and fails remotely; instability across networks.
  • Notifications lack context (do not show who unlocked) and can be uninformative.
  • Perceived lack of timely company responses to user feedback and reviews.

The app won’t even open, just shows a dark background picture of the lock. I’ll never buy another Kwikset product, and recommend you don’t either!

This lock and app are only a couple of years old, yet already feel outdated and unreliable. Using an iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 26.3.1) with Apple TV as my Home hub (tvOS 26.4), it only works when I’m right next to the door. Remote access through HomeKit rarely works and often shows the lock as unavailable. Even basic connectivity is inconsistent. For a smart lock, this is unacceptable. It shouldn’t take constant troubleshooting just to lock or unlock a door.
