About This Item
- Built-In WiFi – No Hub Required: Unlike most smart locks that require a separate Z-Wave hub or Bluetooth bridge, the Schlage Encode Plus has built-in WiFi. Connect directly to your home router and control your lock from anywhere in the world without any extra hardware.
- Apple Home Key Support: Simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the keypad to unlock instantly. Apple Home Key uses NFC technology for ultra-fast, secure access — no app opening required. Works flawlessly with the Home app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Touchscreen Keypad – 100 Access Codes: The illuminated touchscreen keypad stores up to 100 unique access codes. Create temporary codes for guests, housekeepers, or dog walkers that automatically expire. All codes are encrypted to prevent interception.
- Grade 1 Commercial Security: Schlage is the only smart lock brand with ANSI Grade 1 certification — the highest residential lock security standard. The anti-pick, anti-bump, and anti-drill features provide unmatched physical protection.
- Auto-Lock & Schedules: Set custom auto-lock timers from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. Create recurring schedules for access codes so housekeepers only have access on cleaning days. Receive instant alerts when the lock is opened, locked, or when someone enters a wrong code.
- Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant: Ask Alexa to lock your front door, check lock status, or receive notifications. Full voice control hands-free from anywhere in your home or remotely via the Alexa or Google Home apps.
- Premium Build Quality: Available in Matte Black, Aged Bronze, Bright Chrome, Satin Nickel, and Camelot finishes. Built with solid metal construction and backed by Schlage’s Limited Lifetime Mechanical and Finish Warranty.
