GIVEAWAY // Win a Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt + Handle Set (Worth $300!)



It's funny the things that you notice in your own home, and how certain details can drive you crazy when others can be easily overlooked. For example, we have some pretty awful light fixtures hanging that came with the townhouse when it was built (we're talking super gaudy and just bad) that I am somehow able to completely block out of my field of vision. Yet I haven't been able to ignore the chipped, stock brass door handle and lock on our front door, and have been vowing to replace them for what feels like forever. (That's the snazzy 'after' shot with our pretty new deadbolt and handle above, FYI. See below for the original.) The other issue with the lock is that I have lost the keys, like, a dozen times. Somehow I have been able to hold onto the one car key I have for our car for a few years now, but I cannot seem to keep a set of house keys no matter what I do.


Recently, I came across a new product that I realized would solve both of these "problems" by upgrading to a much more aesthetically pleasing lock/handle and making a physical house key no longer necessary. I was instantly in. The product is called Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt, and we were so excited about it after we ordered it that we installed it the same day it arrived. (We went with the Century Style in Satin Nickel, but there are several options for style and finish available.) It was incredibly simple to switch out - we just removed the current handle and deadbolt with a screwdriver (no wiring necessary), and replaced them with the Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt and matching handset. It took less than 15 minutes and was an instant improvement. And we'll be able to take it with us when we eventually move, which is a major bonus because I don't think I could leave this awesomeness behind.


In addition to being really easy on the eyes, the key-free lock uses technology that works with Bluetooth and allows us to control our door lock using our iPhones. And when our iPhones are beyond Bluetooth range from the door (about 40 feet), we can remotely connect using our Apple TV. So we can even use it when we're not home. Pretty great, right? (The Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt can also be used with the Apple Watch, iPad, iPod Touch, or even Siri voice control.) To set it up, we just downloaded the iOS app, and we were good to go. I love that we can set and assign up to 30 access codes to give to others (family, friends, babysitters, etc.), and that we can view a list of our activity (when codes were created, when the door was locked and unlocked, etc.) in an instant. We can also use the app to update settings and check battery life. And if we don't have our phones with us (which, let's face it, never happens - but still), we can just use the lock's illuminated touchscreen to enter our codes. It's been a huge relief not to have to worry about a key at all anymore, and I'm looking forward to using the system on an everyday basis in the coming months. It's also reassuring that it comes with the highest industry rating for security and durability, and includes Schlage's patented and patent pending technologies.


The Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt is currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com and Build.com, and will be available for retail starting this month in select Lowe's and Home Depot stores and on HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Amazon.com and Build.com. And one lucky Bubby and Bean reader is also going to win a Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt of their very own, in winner’s choice of finish, plus choice of door handle set to match (valued at $300)!

  1. I would get the same one you have and use it on my front door, my door handle is ugly and this would make me feel more safe too.

  4. I am so glad you posted about this. I just went to do a walk through of the house I own but have rented out for a few years and instead of changing the locks, my renters changed all the hardware to something horrifically cheap. I know I am not going to be happy until I change it and this keyless entry system would be perfect! I would do an orbit knob in brass and the sense deadbolt.

  10. The one with camelot trim in matte black please! We have an older home (think last century farmhouse in the city) so the classic trim would work better with the overall styling. And black? I can't stand fingerprints and dirt on things so I think the black would hide a multitude of things one brings from the outdoors.

    Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
