It appears that the design engineers at Schlage failed to provide adequate clearance in each unit for the other unit to be installed, making it impossible for both devices to be fitted to the same door at the same time.

This would all be fine if this solution actually worked, but buyers will soon discover that when they try to install the two products in the door, things are not so good after all. Both products come in two different attractive finishes that essentially have the same electronic guts inside them, the choices are the Camelot or Plymouth finishes. Consumers are forced to buy two separate products from the available Schlage door lock lines, one lever with a keypad and one deadbolt with a keypad. In an ideal setting, it would be an integrated keypad, controlling both devices, but with the latest lineup of Schlage products that solution is currently missing from their arsenal. One recent revelation is that it appears that Schlage had forgotten that some residential consumers may actually want to use keypad technology on both a door lever and on a deadbolt on the same door, at the same time.

The one wrinkle in this otherwise promising technology is the fact that someone at Schlage forget to tell their engineers to actually test their products in a real world setting. With the door locks now having the ability to use multiple codes and the newer versions allowing remote programming and wireless connectivity to other smart home devices, door security is finally entering the Internet age. These products deliver simplified security, especially valuable to people who lose keys or cannot be at a location to let someone in. Schlage, a division of Allegion, is a leading manufacturer of the latest trend of door security hardware, specifically the keypad door lever and keypad deadbolt, that use programmable codes, instead of keys, to access the property.
