Schlage Plymouth Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Flair Levers - Aged

In this review the reviewer finds the Schlage Plymouth Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Flair levers best suited for homeowners and landlords who want reliable, keyless access without complicated smart-home integration. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a professional grade deadbolt with an easy-to-use keypad and the Flex-Lock option, which lets you choose between manual unlock or automatic relock with the turn of a button. Installation is straightforward and the included pre-set programming codes and battery make it ready to use from the box.

Key Features

• Keyless entry: Eliminates the need for physical keys so residents and guests can enter with user codes instead of carrying a key.
• Professional grade security: Features the largest adjustable bolt offered by the line for higher resistance to kick-ins compared with common residential bolts.
• Flex-Lock feature: Lets you toggle between unlocked or automatic re-locking quickly, providing flexible behavior for different doors or routines.
• Pre-set codes and easy programming: Ships with a six-digit programming code and two four-digit user codes pre-set, and additional codes are added or deleted at the keypad.
• Visible keypad at night: Silicone rubber buttons with LED backlight make entering codes easy in low light without fumbling for a key.
• Quick setup: Includes a 9-volt battery and requires only a screwdriver to install, making it suitable for DIY projects.

Who It's For

This lock is a good fit for homeowners, landlords and renters who want secure, keyless entry at back doors, side doors or garage entries without the complexity of a connected smart lock. Its durable finish and Flair levers make it suitable for visible entry points where appearance matters.

It is also useful for rooms that need controlled access like home offices, workout rooms, or wine cellars. Buyers who need Wi-Fi or app-based remote control should look elsewhere, since this model focuses on on-device keypad control rather than networked features.
