I installed one of these about a year ago. http://www.arrowrevolution.com/?page_id=11 It has worked flawlessly and has not even needed the batteries changed. I would highly recommend it. |

I'd think it's much easier to break a screen than jam something into a keyhole and break it off so it gets stuck. You do have a point though. |

I want one, but can't justify cost yet.

Coming to Home Depot soon. There’s no pin required to access the mobile app key or button that needs to be toggled. You just enroll your device(s) once. Hackers aren’t really a worry either, because Unikey scrambles together new key codes all the time. If you lose your smartphone with the Unikey app, you can turn off access on Unikey’s site. Otherwise, access will turn off on the old device as soon as you activate a new phone. The best Unikey feature is the ability to share permanent or temporary keys with others via mobile app. For example, you could assign a key to a house cleaner for a specific day each week, or let a construction worker use a key for a few hours each day. Family members can get their own mobile copies. Keys can be cancelled as quickly as they can be created on the app. |

| We installed a key-pad deadbolt probably 3 years ago and never looked back. Only problem we had is that our house is south facing and the storm door is glass, so the air gap between the front door and the glass get hotter than hell. First keypad unit lasted about 2 years before it went on the fritz due to the high temps. |

Been using keyless entry for decades. http://oneclearchoicedoors.com/files/2012/02/371LM_CW_detail.gif Liftmaster will say it is impossible for your door to respond to a neighbor's remote, but it does happen. I had mine trigger three times one night, and I caught it on camera. My installer says it happens. Reprogramming the remotes into the unit fixes it, but for how long? If you aren't locking the door between your house and garage, which is what I think you are implying, you are losing a layer of security. (I also installed an auto closer that has a programmable delay) |

I want to be able to push a button on a key fob and have my house go "chirp chirp" while flashing the porch light twice. Pretty sure there are alarm systems that include modules that control lighting that would do this for you. Except it wouldn't have the chirp, just the lights flashing. I swear I saw a demo video of an alarm system when I was shopping for one that made the house lights flash when you armed it, but I can't find it now. There's probably a way to add in the chirp somehow, but where would the speaker be, on your front porch? |

You pay a locksmith to fix one and you pay him to tell you he doesn't know how the other works. Some things aren't worth being an early adopter on. LCD screen peepholes with cameras are awesome. Single user keyless entry, not so much. The commercial stuff is trickling down pretty quickly. |

Access controls and alarm systems have outputs that can be connected to relays to do just about anything you want. |

Schlage keyless deadbolt [url=[/url] Works like a charm. Change 9V battery 2twice a year. I have this and can recommend. We have a distinct code for each family member... that way if one screws up and tells a friend, I can change his code and not force everyone to learn a new one. Try to use as many unique digits across all codes so you don't give away your digits by displaying uneven wear on the number pad. It's great to go on vacation and create a new code for someone to check on your house, feed the cat, etc and erase it when we get back. No worries of copied keys, etc. |
