Mr. Locksmith’s Favorite for Durability & Simplicity
Hi everyone, Terry from Mr. Locksmith here! When it comes to reliable keyless entry, especially electronic deadbolts, the **Schlage BE365** series consistently ranks among my top favorites. These aren’t just fancy gadgets; they’re heavy-duty workhorses built to last and perform. Today, we’re going to unbox one, explore its features, discuss setup and reprogramming, and show you how the key functionality works.
Why the Schlage BE365 Stands Out
The BE365, available in various colors and faceplates, is fundamentally a simple, basic, and incredibly durable lock. Its straightforward design is precisely what makes it so reliable. It does the trick, every time.
Unboxing & First Impressions
Fresh from the factory, the BE365 comes with the essential components: the exterior keypad, the interior thumbturn, the deadbolt mechanism itself, and a physical key. Its robust construction is evident right out of the box.
Key Functionality: Your Reliable Override
While it’s an electronic deadbolt, the BE365 features a crucial 5-pin tumbler Schlage C keyway override. This means you can always open the lock with a physical key, even if the battery is completely dead or you don’t know the access code. This mechanical backup is a non-negotiable feature for true home security.
Battery Life & Best Practices: Alkaline vs. Lithium
The BE365 operates on a single 9V battery. One of its great advantages is the low-battery warning system, similar to a smoke detector. When the battery starts to drain, the lock will give off an annoying beep, warning you for up to a week before it completely dies. This gives you plenty of time to replace it.
While the manufacturer doesn’t recommend rechargeable batteries (and I haven’t personally tested them extensively), we highly recommend **alkaline batteries**. Lithium batteries, while lasting a long time, tend to maintain peak power and then die very suddenly, giving you only a brief “half a beep” warning before going completely dead. Alkaline batteries, on the other hand, provide a more gradual power decline, giving you ample warning time.
Schlage BE365 Key Features at a Glance
This electronic deadbolt is packed with features designed for convenience and robust security:
- Security Grading: Graded Best in Security, Durability, and Finish. Certified Commercial Grade 2.
- Codes: Comes with 2 pre-set unique 4-digit access codes and allows storage of up to 19 access codes, perfect for family, friends, or service providers.
- Battery Powered: Operates with an included 9V battery. Features a dedicated low-battery indicator to prevent lockouts. Expect up to 2 years of battery life with typical use.
- Premium Security: High-quality metal construction provides strength where it counts, offering trusted security and durability for residential and light commercial applications.
- Keyless Convenience: Lock and unlock your door without a key.
- Warranty: Backed by a 3-year electronics warranty and a limited lifetime finish and mechanical guarantee (note: Oil-Rubbed Bronze has a mechanical guarantee only).
- Easy Operation: Unlocks from the outside with a valid user code and locks by pressing the Schlage button and turning the outside thumbturn. Locks and unlocks from the inside using the thumbturn.
- Easy Install: Can be installed in minutes with just a screwdriver – no hardwiring required. Fits standard doors with 1-3/8 in to 1-3/4 in thickness and 2-3/8 in or 2-3/4 in backset.
- Secure Keypad Access: Durable, silicone-coated numbers illuminate when pressed, making it easy to enter your code even in the dark.
The Schlage BE365 is a true testament to over 100 years of innovation from Schlage, making access safe and easy while providing robust security. Source: Terry Whin-Yates Mr. Locksmith Linkedin
