SCHLAGE Plymouth Keypad Entry Lever - Keyless Home Security

In this review the SCHLAGE Plymouth keypad lever is evaluated as a straightforward, keyless replacement for a traditional doorknob that prioritizes convenience and basic security. It suits homeowners or landlords who want to eliminate routine key handling and give temporary access without rekeying, and its single-button Flex-Lock and illuminated keypad make day-to-day use easier. Installation is simple enough for one person in under 30 minutes, and the review finds the unit delivers solid build quality and straightforward programming for most residential situations.

Key Features

• Keyless entry: Lets you lock and unlock without physical keys for fewer lost-key hassles and easier guest access.
• Flex-Lock option: Switches between unlocked or automatic re-locking with the turn of a button to match different access needs.
• Pre-programmed codes: Ships with a 6 digit programming code and two 4 digit user codes, so it works right out of the box.
• Illuminated keypad: The backlit keypad makes entering codes at night quick and reliable.
• Adjustable fit: Fits doors from 1-1/8 in to 1-3/4 in and includes an adjustable backset to match common residential latch sizes.

Who It's For

The Plymouth keypad lever is best for homeowners, rentals, or small property managers who want keyless convenience without high complexity; it offers up to 19 user codes, which is useful for families, contractors, or short-term tenants. People who value a traditional keyed backup will also appreciate the included 5-pin tumbler key and nickel silver key for mechanical access.

This is not aimed at heavy-duty commercial installations that need advanced access control integration or audit trails. Buyers who need networked remote control, smartphone integration, or enterprise-grade logging should look at higher-end electronic locks designed for those features.
