Veise Keyless Entry Door Lock with 2 Lever Handles - Electronic Keypad Deadbolt, Easy Installation Digital Smart Front Door Lock Set, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Why I switched to this keypad lock

I installed the Veise keypad lock to solve a simple problem: too many keys, too much fuss. I wanted something I could trust every day without adding another app to manage or a hub to babysit. This set pairs a keypad deadbolt with matching lever handles in an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which meant I could refresh both the function and the look of my entry in one go. After living with it, I’m struck by how much value is tucked into a straightforward, no-Wi‑Fi package.

Installation and setup

The install is exactly what it claims to be: a screwdriver job. If your door already has standard U.S. prep (2-1/8-inch bore and 1-inch latch hole), everything lines up. The set accommodates left- or right-handed doors; reversing the levers is trivial. My only advice is to dry-fit the latch and strike first and make sure the deadbolt throws and retracts smoothly with the door closed. Any binding at this stage will show up later as failed auto-locks.

Programming is handled entirely at the keypad. There’s a master code, up to 20 user PINs, and a one-time PIN that deletes itself after use—ideal for a cleaner, a contractor, or a one-off delivery. I had no trouble adding and removing codes following the included flow. The backlit keypad is bright enough for night use without being blinding, and the audible prompts (which you can mute) make it easy to know when a setting has taken.

Power comes from four AA batteries inside the interior housing. Veise rates lifespan at more than a year; there’s a low-battery alert so you get warning. Use good alkaline batteries; rechargeables start at a lower voltage and can confuse battery gauges in devices like this.

Daily use

In day-to-day operation, this lock does what you want a keypad lock to do: unlock reliably and quickly. The keypad has a firm, positive feel, and the backlight wakes instantly. I like the mix of convenience features:

• One-touch locking: press any number for two seconds and the deadbolt extends. This eliminates fishing for keys when you’re heading out with hands full.
• Auto-lock: set a delay between 10 and 99 seconds, and the lock re-engages after entry. It’s useful if you’re forgetful, though 99 seconds is the limit—long enough for typical comings and goings, but not for prolonged unloading trips.

Muted mode is handy during late-night returns; you can disable beeps while still seeing visual confirmation on the keypad. There’s also a vacation mode that temporarily disables standard keypad access when you’re away. If you prefer a mechanical backup, you get two physical keys.

Door hardware often fails not because of electronics but because of door movement. On humid days, if the door swells and the bolt meets resistance, the motor will refuse to lock and you’ll hear an error tone. This isn’t unique to this model—any electronic deadbolt will balk at a misaligned strike plate. A quick strike adjustment solves it; more on that below.

Security and reliability

This is an ANSI Grade 3 lock, which places it in the entry-level residential category. For most households, that’s appropriate: it resists casual attacks and everyday use, but it’s not intended to be a high-security solution. If you need commercial-grade strength or pick resistance, look for an ANSI Grade 1 deadbolt and accept the added cost and weight.

On the digital side, the basics are well covered:

• Up to 20 user PINs, easily added and removed.
• A true one-time PIN for temporary access that automatically deletes after it works.
• Vacation mode to suspend keypad access while you’re away.
• No wireless connectivity, which reduces attack surface but also means no remote control or logs.

Water resistance is a must for an exterior keypad, and the unit has held up fine in wet weather. The keypad remains responsive with damp hands, and the finish hasn’t shown premature wear. As with all exterior electronics, avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at the keypad.

Battery reliability matters more than app features on a lock like this. With four fresh alkalines, operation is strong and consistent. The motor is not loud, and speed is acceptable—fast enough that the deadbolt is fully retracted by the time you finish pressing the last digit.

Design and ergonomics

Aesthetically, the oil-rubbed bronze finish looks good in person: the sheen is subdued, and it pairs nicely with both traditional trims and modern doors. Including matching lever handles is a nice touch; you don’t need to source a separate passage set to complete the look. The levers feel solid in hand, and the deadbolt’s thumbturn on the inside has enough travel and grip to operate smoothly even in the rare cases when you need to override with manual force.

The keypad face is clean and uncluttered. Numbers are easy to hit accurately, even for kids, and the backlight makes nighttime entry painless. The interior housing is utilitarian—nothing flashy, but tidy enough that it doesn’t dominate the inside of the door.

What I wish were different

A few trade-offs are worth noting:

• No smart features: For me, the lack of Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth is a plus—fewer points of failure. But if you want phone-based auto-unlock, entry logs, voice assistant integration, or remote control, this isn’t that product.
• Auto-lock ceiling: The 99-second maximum delay is on the short side. If you frequently carry loads from the car or tend to leave the door ajar while unloading, you’ll either shorten your window or disable auto-lock.
• Grade 3 rating: Adequate for typical homes, but not for users who require the highest physical security. Consider reinforcing the door frame and using longer strike screws regardless—those upgrades help any lock.
• Door alignment sensitivity: Like all electronic deadbolts, it expects a clean bolt path. If your door shifts seasonally, plan on adjusting the strike or hinges. The upside is that the lock gives clear feedback when it fails to engage so you’re not assuming it’s locked when it isn’t.
• Code capacity: Twenty user codes will be enough for most households, but busy rental scenarios might bump into that limit.

Tips for a trouble-free install

A few practical steps make a noticeable difference:

• Check the latch backset before tightening anything. The latch can be set to common depths; match it to your bore centerline.
• Use 3-inch screws in the strike plate to anchor into the stud. This improves kick resistance more than the lock itself.
• Confirm the deadbolt throws smoothly with the door closed before you power up. If you feel a scrape, adjust the strike while you still have tools in hand.
• Program a one-time code and test it once so you’re comfortable using it before you need it.
• Keep a spare set of AAs inside the house and note your low-battery indicator behavior so it doesn’t surprise you.

Who it’s for

This lock is a strong fit for homeowners who want dependable keyless entry without the complexity—or privacy considerations—of a connected lock. It’s good for families who need to share access with kids or caregivers, and for anyone who appreciates the simplicity of a one-touch lock and a self-deleting guest code. If your priority is deep smart-home integration or you require top-tier physical security hardware, look elsewhere.

The bottom line

The Veise keypad lock hits a sweet spot: easy installation, clear everyday usability, and the right mix of features for keyless living—auto-lock, one-touch locking, up to 20 codes, a true one-time code, mute and vacation modes, and a backlit keypad. The oil-rubbed bronze handleset elevates the look of the door, and the whole system stays focused on doing its core job without demanding an app or a hub.

I recommend this lock for most households that want a reliable, no-fuss keypad deadbolt with matching levers. It’s straightforward to install, comfortable to use, and thoughtfully equipped for everyday life. Just be aware of its Grade 3 rating, the 99-second auto-lock ceiling, and the lack of remote features. If those parameters match your needs, it’s an easy product to live with and a meaningful upgrade over a traditional keyed setup.
