Does not back their warranty
I'm beyond upset about their warranty. We moved into a house that had one on all entry doors. We have not lived there for more than 2.5 years and we've had to replace 3 of the locks (with the same brand). Unfortunately, when providing the sticker for warranty information, the company claimed they were made more than 3 years ago and would not cover the warranty. This was after over 2 weeks worth or correspondence with scripted replies. Very, very disappointed.

The lock would not connect with the…
The lock would not connect with the Apple iPhone app. I tried for over 2 hours. I did all the different methods. This is a very poor lock. Now I have a big door with just one deadbolt key and a very expensive lock on it that doesn't work.

Used one of their door stops
Used one of their door stops. Two screws sheared in half, made of putty. Even cheapest nastiest chinese products I used have better quality screws. Plating on couple 5yr old internal door handles is coming off. Looks like bean counters are using cheapest suppliers they can find. I'm stay clear of brand going forward.

Schlage is Schlegt (Schlage is bad)
Schlage is Schlegt (Schlage is bad). After just over a year and a half, the lock started cracking due to UV. When I logged a support case, Allegiant eventually came back to say that their warranty didn't cover scratches. I then waited a little while longer for the "scratches" to be evidently cracks. They then said the product was not IP rated so warranty would not cover the damage. Do not buy if your front door has any sunlight exposure.

Schlage Encode lock
We have owned the Schlage Encode lock for about 8 months now and it has worked seamlessly with our short term rental property management platform. The customer support has been outstanding. Our wifi changed and we needed to update the lock. We called customer support and Tan was super patient and effectively walked us through the process quickly and efficiently.
