Smart lock compatibility - which deadbo;t is compatibe

​I bought the Simplisafe smart lock and cannot find a deadbolt compatible with it so far. I first bought a Kickset smart deadbolt but for that one none of the included adapter match the thumbturn (too small). Returned and bought a Defiant lock. For that one the adapter match, but the holes on the mounting plate are too narrow and doesn't match the holes on the deadbolt so cannot be mounted. Returned and bought a Schlage deadbolt which had the exact same problem as the Defiant one. Can Simplisafe give a list of deadbolt locks that are compatible with their smart lock to help customers select?​

Hello @mankoula ,

We don't usually have specific recommendations. Our adapters are designed to fit the majority of single-cylinder deadbolts on the market. I've installed on multiple models of Defiant and Schlage myself! It just seems that you unfortunately found the wrong ones.

@mankoula Suggest you call support and ask them to recommend several models. I have a Schlage and it fit fine.

@mankoula Since Davey is being a bit shy of recommending a specific lock (I can easily guess the reasons) here is the exact lockset I recently got and installed on my door. Note it was changed only because my wife wanted to go from a bright brass finish to a satin black finish, so it was the 2nd deadbolt I used on my SS doorlock. Hope this helps.

Schlage® Accent Aged Bronze Entry Door Lever and Single Cylinder Door Deadbolt

Model Number: FB50NVACC716

You shoud be able to get the deadbolt alone, and in different finishes.

I called SS support and they recommended Kwikset Model 660/665. I got a 660 and it worked.
