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Outdated app with long gaps between updates; issues discovering the lock; grey screen problems.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.

Recent reviews

This lock and app are only a couple of years old, yet already feel outdated and unreliable.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.

I have had the Kwikset Premis 919-K lock since 2017 and absolutely love it. I have really wanted to see Kwikset add better HomeKit integration in the form of passing through the information of the names of users who are unlocking. As it is right now, we have that information within the app, but I really love that I get notifications of locking/unlocking within the Apple Notifications... it would be a rockstar app if it would go further by passing the user name, etc. through on those notifications. I would also like to see the app and notifications state the name of the person unlocking via their iPhone (ex: when I tell Siri or HomeKit on my iPhone to unlock or lock my door, even the app ignores who it is and just informs that the locking/unlocking was done by “iPhone”. It should say who’s iPhone. By addressing these small changes/additions, this lock and app would get 5 stars from me.
