Schlage's Encode lineup lets you lock and unlock your door from your phone, share temporary access codes, and check who came and went — without a separate smart-home hub. Both the standard Encode and the upgraded Encode Plus connect directly to your home WiFi and pair with the Schlage Home app, so you can manage either lock from anywhere without additional accessories.
The real differences that matter when you're choosing are finish, trim style, and price — here's what's currently available:
Schlage Encode Plus
| Finish / Trim | Price |
|---|---|
| Aged Bronze / Camelot | $322.99 |
| Bright Chrome / Camelot | $324.99 |
| Aged Bronze / Century | $390.99 |
| Bright Chrome / Century | $491.99 |
Supports up to 100 access codes, lock-history viewing, and push notifications, plus Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility for hands-free control.
Schlage Encode
| Finish / Trim | Price |
|---|---|
| Aged Bronze / Century | $261.99 |
| Bright Chrome / Camelot | $300.99 |
| Bright Chrome / Greenwich | $425.99 |
Also supports up to 100 access codes, remote lock history, push notifications, and Alexa/Google Assistant pairing.
How to choose
- Pick your trim style first. Camelot has a classic beveled edge, Century is a clean contemporary square profile, and Greenwich offers a rounded traditional look — this is a visual/door-hardware match, not a feature difference.
- Match your existing door hardware finish (Aged Bronze vs. Bright Chrome) so the new deadbolt doesn't clash with your handle set.
- Budget-conscious buyers: the Encode in Aged Bronze / Century ($261.99) is the lowest-priced option in the lineup with full smart-lock functionality.
- If you want the newest hardware generation: Encode Plus is Schlage's more recently introduced line, at a modest premium over the equivalent Encode trim/finish combination.
Both locks require a WiFi connection and the free Schlage Home app to unlock their remote-access features.
