Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Kwikset 916 for its solid build quality, straightforward installation, and dependable Z‑Wave Plus connectivity that works well with popular hubs. However, they criticize the on‑lock only code programming and the lack of native voice‑assistant support, and they warn that the product’s discontinuation could limit future updates and support.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally like the ease of DIY installation, the responsive touchscreen, and the reliable hub notifications for battery status. Recurring complaints focus on the inability to manage codes remotely, occasional hub pairing hiccups, and concerns about the lock being discontinued, which raises doubts about long‑term support.
Common Complaints
On‑lock only code programming, intermittent Z‑Wave hub pairing issues, concerns about discontinued product support, and battery alerts that depend on a hub for full visibility.

“Easy installation with basic tools”
How It Compares
vs. Kwikset 914 (Zigbee)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the 914 if your home uses a Zigbee hub exclusively; otherwise the 916 offers more versatile Z‑Wave integration.
vs. Kwikset 910 (Zigbee, basic)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the 910 for cost‑sensitive installations with fewer users; the 916 is better for larger households needing more codes.
vs. Samsung SmartThings Deadbolt
Advantages
Disadvantages
Opt for the Samsung deadbolt if you need extensive code capacity and native SmartThings integration; the Kwikset 916 is a more affordable choice for standard Z‑Wave setups.
