Installers should account for the fact that these Zigbee locks with keypads do not function as Zigbee routing nodes, so the network may need light switches, dimmers, or other repeating devices installed first. Identify each lock near its final installation point during setup, and verify network communication from that location before completing the installation.

Zigbee locks with keypads support local entry by allowing users to unlock the door with a code at the keypad, while the Zigbee connection links the lock with an integrated security or home automation system. With internet access to that system, users can manage or trigger the lock remotely, and the products in this assortment support 128-bit encryption.

Before replacing a standard deadbolt, review the door preparation, existing deadbolt configuration, and installation instructions to confirm the keypad lock fits the opening and operates smoothly. Plan the Zigbee network first, since these locks are not routing nodes, and place compatible repeating devices, such as Zigbee switches or dimmers, before identifying the lock near its final installation point.

When selecting Zigbee locks with keypads, compare keypad operation, deadbolt design, Zigbee integration, encryption, remote management, and available finishes to match the access, security, and design needs of the installation. Also review network requirements, since these locks may not function as Zigbee routing nodes and may require other repeating devices to be installed first and identified near their final locations.
