SCHLAGE Smart WiFi Deadbolt Lock, Matte Black — Touchscreen with Apple HomeKey & Remote App Control

The Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt in matte black is a touchscreen smart lock with built-in WiFi, Apple HomeKey tap-to-unlock, and app-based control so you can manage access remotely without extra hubs.

Designed from SCHLAGE’s long history in locks, the Encode Plus combines secure encryption, a fingerprint-resistant touchscreen and multiple wireless ecosystems so you can lock, unlock and monitor your door from anywhere. It installs with just a screwdriver, fits standard door sizes, and supports up to 100 unique access codes for family, guests, and service providers. Use the Schlage Home app for scheduling, notifications and activity logs or tap with an iPhone or Apple Watch for instant entry.

How do I control and monitor the lock when I’m away from home?

Because WiFi is built into the Encode Plus, you connect the lock directly to your home network and use the Schlage Home app to manage it from any location. The app delivers lock history, push notifications and the ability to create, edit or delete access codes instantly.

• Direct WiFi connection—no separate bridge required
• Real-time lock event history and customizable alerts
• Remote locking/unlocking and code management for up to 100 users

Can I use voice assistants or tap-to-unlock instead of typing codes?

Yes. The Encode Plus works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free control when used with those platforms through the Schlage Home app. It also supports Apple HomeKit and Apple HomeKey so you can unlock with a tap of your iPhone or Apple Watch for fast, secure entry.

• Voice commands via Alexa and Google Assistant (with Schlage Home app pairing)
• Apple HomeKey tap-to-unlock for compatible iPhone and Apple Watch models
• One-touch exterior touchscreen locking for quick exit

What security and durability features protect my home?

Encode Plus uses encrypted communications and a built-in alarm that responds to forced-entry attempts and unusual door movement. The touchscreen is made to resist fingerprints and the deadbolt has been certified by independent industry testing for security, durability and finish.

• Secure, encrypted wireless connections for remote and local control
• Customizable built-in alarm for door movement and tamper detection
• Industry-certified ratings for residential security, durability and finish

How easy is installation and daily use?

Installation is straightforward and requires only a screwdriver—no hardwiring or extra modules. The Snap 'n Stay mounting holds the lock in place during installation so you can work with both hands free. Daily features like auto-lock, one-touch exterior locking, and scheduled access codes simplify routines for homeowners and renters alike.

• Fits standard doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick and common backset sizes
• Quick screwdriver installation; no professional required in most cases
• Auto-lock timing options and simple code scheduling for recurring access

Who is this for? The SCHLAGE Encode Plus in matte black is aimed at homeowners, renters with landlord approval, and small property managers who want a high-quality, easy-to-install smart deadbolt that integrates with Apple, Amazon and Google ecosystems. It suits anyone who values remote access, multiple user codes, and a durable, tamper-aware lock with a clean modern finish.
