Overview

A homeowner tired of hunting for keys gets a touchpad deadbolt that locks itself on a timer and accepts many personal codes. A lit keypad helps at night, a key still works as backup, and you can re-key it yourself to match other locks.

Many user codes and one-time codes make it simple to let in family, sitters and contractors. The lock has no app or remote control listed, so changes happen at the door.

Who it's for

Busy households and rentals with many people coming and going suit a keypad with lots of codes and auto-lock. People who want remote alerts or phone control should look at a connected smart lock.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Many user and one-time codes
  • Auto-lock with several timers
  • Backlit keypad for night use
  • Re-key it yourself
Cons
  • Batteries not included
  • No app or remote control listed
  • Door thickness range not listed

Performance notes

A motor throws the bolt when a valid code is entered, and auto-lock fires it again after the chosen delay. The alarm and keypad lockout slow down code guessing. Battery life depends on use, so a busy front door drains AA cells faster.
