Schlage Home enables remote control of compatible smart locks via encrypted WiFi connection. The app provides access code management, multi-home monitoring, and activity history tracking for homeowners seeking enhanced security and convenience.

Detailed Review

The Schlage Home app serves as the central control interface for Schlage's WiFi-enabled smart lock systems, extending the company's century-long security heritage into the digital age. This application transforms traditional physical security into a remotely manageable system through encrypted connections, positioning itself in the competitive smart home security market as a dedicated solution rather than a broader home automation platform. Core functionality centers around three primary operational modes: Home View provides immediate lock/unlock controls with real-time status indicators, Map View enables geographical management of multiple properties, and Gallery View offers visual organization of access points. The system supports sophisticated access code management, allowing permanent or temporary codes with customizable schedules—particularly valuable for granting housekeepers, dog walkers, or guests time-limited entry without physical key exchanges. All activities generate timestamped records in the lock history feature, creating auditable trails of door operations. User experience demonstrates thoughtful design with intuitive navigation between primary functions, though initial setup requires specific network configurations. As noted in user reviews, successful installation typically demands temporary router adjustments to 2.4GHz frequency for device pairing—a technical requirement that may challenge less tech-savvy users but ensures stable subsequent operation even when routers revert to dual-band mode. The interface maintains clarity through color-coded status indicators and streamlined workflow for adding new users. User feedback reveals consistent praise for reliability post-installation, with Gary Knapp (June 6, 2025) noting seamless operation once connectivity is established. However, technical support responsiveness emerges as a concern, exemplified by Istvan Ullmann's July 15, 2025 experience describing unresolved customer service contacts. Positive testimonials from Gustave Stinfil (August 1, 2025) and Kenneth Epps (August 4, 2025) highlight successful remote operation and eventual support satisfaction, suggesting potential inconsistency in support quality. The application excels in providing robust remote access management and detailed activity monitoring, particularly for multi-property owners or frequent hosts requiring flexible access solutions. Limitations include dependency on specific network configurations during setup and occasional support response variability. Ideal implementation scenarios involve technically comfortable users seeking to augment physical security with remote management capabilities without requiring full smart home ecosystem integration.

Once you get it synched with your network, it works very well. For my network, I needed to switch the router to operate only at 2.4 MGHz until I could connect the lock. After 30 minutes, the router switches back to 5.0 MGHz, but the lock stays connected. Programming the lock for additional users (for example, renters, other vendors like cleaning staff or appliance repair workers) is quite simple and easily modified--much easier than competing products from Yale. The Schlage Encode is a great!

Highly recommended locking system. Every part of this thing works like a charm (2019). Some updates to the app simplified the user interface (2025). Good 👍

One feature I would love to request is the ability to lock a door from the Android toast notification. I get the "door has been unlocked" notifications to my smart watch and it would be so nice to have a button to relock the door from my watch. Otherwise this app is great!
