5 august lock keypad options you’ll love

Why fumble with keys in freezing rain and pitch-black night? A keypad gives you quick, code-based access (no more searching pockets for metal) and a soft LED glow that feels like a warm welcome.

August offers five keypad models that clip right onto your existing deadbolt. They shrug off rain and snow. You can assign up to 100 unique PINs (personal identification numbers).

Each one has smooth touchscreen feedback (like swiping a credit card) and a crisp, reassuring click you can feel. It runs on a single set of batteries for about six months. Solid.

And keep reading for a hands-on look at the five August keypads you’ll truly love.

August Lock Keypad Overview & Key Features

So you want easy, key-free entry? The August Lock Keypad is an add-on for your August Smart Lock Pro or August Wi-Fi Smart Lock that makes it happen with a simple 4 to 6 digit code. Tap the smooth touchscreen (a glass panel that reads your fingertip), type your code, and hear a reassuring click as the deadbolt pulls back.

It’s slim and weather-resistant. Rain? Snow? No problem. Curious fingers at your door won’t slow it down. And pairing feels familiar – like connecting your headphones to your phone over Bluetooth in the August app.

In the app, you can add up to 100 codes. Family, guests, cleaners – everyone gets their own PIN. Want a pro tip? Set a timed code for dog walkers or delivery folks. You set start and end dates in seconds. No extra hardware. No fuss.

Low-battery warnings pop up in the app. After each code entry, three red LED flashes on the smooth metal faceplate (the sturdy front shell) catch your eye. That soft LED glow makes sure you see every alert. Battery life lasts six to twelve months, depending on how often you light up that faceplate.

Behind these keypads is Starlight Hardware – our trusted smart lock manufacturer China partner. Two decades of craftsmanship. CE certified and rigorously tested. A reliable choice for homes, offices, or hotels.

Solid security.

August Lock Keypad Compatibility with Doors & Deadbolts

Our August keypad hooks up to your August Smart Lock Pro, August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, or any August model that takes a keypad module. The smooth metal faceplate and soft LED glow sit right next to your thumbturn (small interior lock lever). It clips onto exterior doors 1 3/8 to 2 inches thick. So no extra drilling or door prep needed. Solid.

We’ve tested it on popular single-cylinder deadbolts (locks with a keyed entry on one side). You don’t have to swap out your existing hardware. Just mount the slim, weather-resistant keypad beside that thumbturn. You’re ready to go.

Here’s how it stacks up with major deadbolt brands:

Model	Deadbolt Type	Notes
Schlage BE365	Single-cylinder	Direct fit
Kwikset 908/909	Single-cylinder	Adapter included
Yale Assure SL	Single-cylinder	Requires adapter
Baldwin Evolved	Single-cylinder	Direct fit
Defiant Keyless	Single-cylinder	Adapter included
Prime-Line PDN76	Single-cylinder	Compatible with bracket

August Lock Keypad Installation & Mounting Requirements

You don’t need any wiring. This keypad runs on four AA batteries tucked behind the smooth metal faceplate. It’s ready to go right out of the box.

Pick a spot next to your deadbolt thumbturn about 5 to 6 feet off the floor. That height makes it easy for everyone, from kids to delivery folks, to reach. Make sure the wall surface is level and free of loose paint or dust.

You’ll need:
• A power drill with a ⅛" bit (for clean pilot holes)
• A Phillips screwdriver
• The mounting kit in the box: bracket, four wall anchors, and screws

Got everything in hand? Let’s go.

Let’s mount it:

1. Hold the bracket 5–6 ft high beside the deadbolt and mark the hole locations.
2. Drill pilot holes and tap in the wall anchors until they sit flush.
3. Line up the bracket and drive in the screws. Feel that reassuring click as they bite into the wall.
4. Snap the keypad onto the bracket until it clicks into place.
5. Open the faceplate and slide in four fresh AA batteries. You’ll see a soft LED glow when it powers up.
6. Open the August app. Under Devices > Add Accessory, pair the keypad (think of pairing like connecting your headphones to your phone).

Programming User & Master Codes on the August Lock Keypad

Open the August app on your phone. Tap Guests, then Invite, then choose Entry Code Only. That lets you give someone a personal 4- to 6-digit code. You can grab their name from your contacts or type it in yourself.

Your guest doesn’t need the app. They just enter the code on the smooth touchscreen (a glass panel that reads your fingertip) and step inside.

You get to pick how long each code works. Ongoing access never expires. Recurring codes run on set days, think weekdays for your house cleaner. Temporary codes expire after a fixed window, perfect for delivery drivers or one-time visitors. You even set start and end times down to the second.

Hmm, feel uneasy about sticking with the default master code on your keypad? Head to App Settings and change it. We’ll text you a reset code by SMS. When the keypad prompts you on its sleek metal faceplate, just type in that code. Easy.

Got an emergency, say a neighbor locked out in the rain? Create an Emergency Code under Guests > Invite > Emergency Code. It works immediately, no app needed.

Want to see all your active codes? Tap Guests in the app. You’ll spot each code’s name, status, and duration. Manage or delete them with a tap. Security in your pocket.

Battery Replacement & Low-Battery Alerts for August Lock Keypad

The keypad runs on four AA batteries (typical household batteries) and usually powers your door for six to twelve months. How long depends on how often you tap the touchscreen. When the battery starts to run low, you’ll see two clear signs. First, a pop-up alert shows up in the August Home app on your phone. Then, after you enter your code, the smooth metal faceplate flashes three red lights.

Don’t risk a lockout. You can swap batteries in seconds! Here’s how:

• Press the release tab at the bottom until you hear a soft click.
• Lift off the cover to find the battery compartment.
• Pull out the old batteries and slide in four fresh AAs, matching the plus and minus markings.
• Snap the cover back on until it clicks into place.

That’s it. Look for the soft LED glow (tiny light), then enter your code. You’ll hear a reassuring click as it unlocks. And remember to toss your used batteries into a recycling bin, not the trash, to stay eco-friendly.

August Lock Keypad Connectivity & Smart Home Integration

When you’re within Bluetooth range (short-range wireless tech), flip open the August app on your phone. Tap Devices, then Add Accessory, and pick Keypad. Think of it like syncing your wireless headphones: a soft LED glow and a little tone tell you it’s paired.

Once paired, the keypad chats with your August lock over Bluetooth. Behind the scenes, the lock uses the Wi-Fi Bridge (device that links your smart lock to your home network) to hop online. That means you can lock or unlock from the office or while sipping coffee on a weekend trip. Your front door’s under control, right in your pocket.

Want voice control? In the Amazon Alexa app, tap Skills and Games, enable the August skill, and link your account. Then say “Alexa, is the front door locked?” or “Alexa, lock the front door.” You’ll hear the keypad give a quick tone to confirm.

For Google Assistant, open Google Home and tap Add. Choose Set up device, pick Works with Google, and search for August. After linking your account, say “Hey Google, secure my front door” or “Hey Google, is my door open?” You’ll catch a soft LED blink when it works.

Siri fans need to set up HomeKit (Apple’s smart home framework) with an Apple TV or HomePod hub. In the Apple Home app, tap Add Accessory and follow the prompts. When the keypad and lock pop up, say “Hey Siri, lock the door,” and watch the metal faceplate glow.

If pairing fails, scoot closer to the keypad and try again. Make sure Bluetooth is on, then restart the August app. For Wi-Fi Bridge setup, connect the Bridge to your router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi, tap Devices > Wi-Fi Bridge in the app, and follow the step-by-step prompts.

Solid.

Troubleshooting & Security Features of the August Lock Keypad

Ever hear a strange buzz from your keypad? It’s actually your lock’s way of talking back.

Two quick buzzes mean you entered the wrong code.
Three buzzes mean it sensed tampering or someone’s blocking it.

Here’s the buzz breakdown:

• 2 buzzes = wrong code (try again slowly)
• 3 buzzes = tamper detected or keypad blocked

Enter a bad PIN five times in a row and the lock goes quiet for 60 seconds. That’s our anti-tamper feature (a built-in safeguard that pauses entry after repeated failures). It’s great for stopping code-guessers in their tracks.

If your touchscreen goes dark or stops responding, it often just needs a firmware (the lock’s internal software) update. Open the August app, tap Devices, pick your keypad, and follow the on-screen update prompt. Soon you’ll see a soft LED glow and hear a confirming tone.

Still stuck? A factory reset can clear everything. Press and hold the August button on the smooth metal faceplate for 30 seconds. Keep holding until the LED flashes red. Boom, it’s wiped all settings and rebooted.

Solid. No more guesswork. With clear buzz patterns, lockout timers, easy firmware fixes, and a reset trick, you’ve got every tool to keep your keypad humming, and your home secure.

Pricing, Reviews & Pros/Cons of the August Lock Keypad

You’ll find it priced around seventy to a hundred dollars at most big-box stores and online shops. Deals often shave off ten to twenty dollars during holiday sales or home-improvement events. That makes it a wallet-friendly keypad option for most budgets.

Homeowners love how quickly codes unlock their door and how the sleek metal faceplate holds up in rain or snow. The numbers glow softly behind a smooth glass panel, so you can see them even when it’s dark. A few people mention occasional Bluetooth sync delays or a stiff touchscreen when temps dip.

Pros:

• Store up to 100 unique codes for family, guests or service pros
• Manage codes and view entry history right in the app
• Works with Alexa, Google Assistant or HomeKit voice commands

Cons:

• Runs on four AA batteries, swapped every six to twelve months
• Some older phones report pairing lag

Put it side by side with a popular Schlage keypad and you’ll see August holds twice as many codes and lets you unlock remotely in the app. No extra hub needed. Schlage models usually top out at thirty codes and require a Z-Wave or Zigbee bridge for remote control.

One-year limited warranty.
