Have you ever wished you could install a smart lock on a single hole door without drilling another hole on it? Schlage just joined the group of lever smart lock vendors with the launch of the brand new Encoding lever: A smart Wi-Fi lock designed to replace traditional door handles and levers throughout your home.

The smart lever lock is the perfect complement for doors without a deadbolt; especially those behind which you’ll appreciate the privacy and security that a smart lock adds, such as a home office or guest bedroom.
Different codes can be given to customers for more privacy.

David Perozzi, Managing Director of Allegion Home, explained: “We are seeing a change in the way people use their living spaces. Whether converting a bedroom into a home office or welcoming an extended family into the home, consumers demand the convenience and security provided by the Schlage Encode deadbolt that can be used on doors that are not not prepared for a deadbolt.

Personally, the Schlage Encode Lever Smart Wi-Fi Lock is the perfect replacement for the knob on the door that leads to my garage. We always like to keep it locked, but we often forget to, so we have an inexpensive “dumb” lock with a keypad to ensure two things the encryption lever also does: never have to remember our keys and knowing that the door always automatically locks behind us.
As a replacement for doorknobs and levers, the Schlage Encode lever can fit most doors in your home.

In addition to these features, the Encode Lever smart lock, introduced at the 2023 International Builders Show (IBS), easily pairs with your phone and Wi-Fi via the Schlage Home app, where you can check the status of the lock and lock and unlock your door from anywhere using your phone, set up auto-lock and add voice control to ask Google Voice Assistant or Amazon Alexa to unlock the door for you.
If you’re the type to host guests often and want to give them a dedicated private space, you can use the app to create up to 100 access codes. It’s easy to manage these codes from your phone, where you can set recurring, temporary or permanent access times, as well as view real-time and historical data and customize notifications for when each code was used.
