The Kwikset 910 deadbolt lock with Z-Wave technology has worked very well for my application. I am using the lock with my DMP 50 security system. Once properly programmed on the DMP unit end, the lock functions as described by it literature. We did find that in order for the lock and the system to recognize each other for programming, the lock electronic unit must be brought to within about 10 feet or less of the DMP 50 "motherboard" unit. Plan on this initial programming taking a while to transfer to the lock. Say 30 minutes or more. Once properly programmed, the lock will work as it should. Distance from the DMP system unit is important, as is battery condition. Things work well, with proper Z-Wave handshaking and commands and status being passed properly for perhaps a month. Once my lock batteries fell below 1.3 volts each, the Z-Wave operation became erratic. The lock itself was still functioning fine, electronically locking and so forth, but it would not communicate with the system unit. Replacing the batteries with fresh ones solved that immediately. While originally not in favor of the concept, my family now likes having this lock. No more getting locked out because you left your key, where-ever... When working in the yard, and you decide to come in the front door, no problem, enter the code!
Installation was no problem, as physically this lock replaced an original manual Kwikset unit. I simply put the included spacer into the round hole for the original lock, and then screwed the back bracket on, and the complete lock mounted up easily. If you can install a deadbolt lock, you won't have any additional problems with this one. I had to wait on a technician to come and work with me (required by my monitoring company for first install of all Z-Wave components), so I set up the two allowed electronic pass codes manually (only two allowed manually, about 20 when part of a Z-Wave system). This worked well, for perhaps two weeks, until we could get together and program the overall security system. After that original programming, the master user(s) can program the lock timing along with the security system using the DMP 50 favorites, scheduling, and other features. Master user can also add or take off users by entering new ones or making changes, entered on the DMP 50 panel, and then pushing them on the lock (push button for save to lock, I think it is). This process takes about 10-12 minutes, so be patient here also!
Overall, I am very pleased with this lock. There are a few things I would like to see work a little differently, but I am picky on some of this. Were I to say this has any problems or issues so far, I would say the limited working distances for the Z-Wave "recognition" and the speed at which the Z-Wave devices update status and take action. I enter lock as a remote command and it takes perhaps 15-20 seconds to take the action. Recall that initial programming is best done with the lock electronics and the system unit close together, and allow plenty of time for the programing to complete!!! Saving new users or making changes also take a bit of time, but the lock doesn't have to be removed from the door for this. Still, especially at the sale price I purchased this one for, I rate this lock highly. Very good capability!
