Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RT6NHH5LMJPBG Bottom line: As others have said, for $75 (or whatever Amazon is selling it for on any given day) it's a great value.Installation is a snap. All you need is a screwdriver and five to ten minuets of spare time. In broad strokes, you remove the two screws that are keeping the current pair of knobs in place,put this lockset on in their place, and you're in business. The outside handle attaches through the door to a steel faceplate with four screws, as opposed the the normal two that hold on a standard knob set. That make the "feel" extra sturdy. You can probably use the existing latch, the thingie that comes out the edge of the door and one is included with this lock just in case. You also get a full set of screws and a replacement striker plate even though you can get by with what's already on your door.There is a small electric cable you need to feed through the door to the inner lock. Once you get it though it snaps into a connector on the inner side. To replace the four (included) AAA batteries you need to remove one screw that holds the inner handle cover and that gets you to the batter case. When it's all together it looks durable and well made. Except for the numbers on the keypad, all exposed surfaces are metal.You also get two master keys. I like that they are "real" keys instead of those simple ones designed for suitcase locks. I also liked that both keys have a magnets attached so you can hide them out of sight by sticking them to a convenient piece of metal (like the side of a furnace or water pipe).UPDATE: I've been using this lock for a while longer and it continues to work perfectly. However, after six months of fairly heavy use (about 10 uses per day) the included batteries failed. I knew because the lock started to beep a few times each time I opened the door. I checked their charge on an accurate pulse-load meter, one was dead, one was at 40%, and the other two were at 80%. There was no indication from the lock ahead of time that the batteries were weak. I think the failure was due more to poor quality included batteries than excessive battery drain from the lock.As an embarassing aside, when I replaced the cover after replacing the batteries I managed to cut one of the battery wires. The next time I tried to open the lock... it wouldn't. Thank goodness this isn't an "electronics-only" lock! The provided key worked fine until I had a chance to fix the wire. The lesson learned was to keep one of the keys handy.HOW TO (RE)SET THE COMBINATION - Hold down the button a couple seconds, until the lock beeps twice, then let it go. The keypad will remain lit. Enter the new combination, ending with either a * or a #. Enter it again. That's it. (I've already been sent this question a few times and figured I'd post the information here.)BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

I paid $67. for this lock through Amazon. This is about half of the original cost. It is a very good buy for a keyless lock. I used the lock on an outside door for an outside building with a small overhang over the door. The overhang prevents direct exposure of the lock to ice, snow and rain. It has been a pleasure to have this lock as my sons would constantly misplace the keys for the old lock. This alone made the lock well worth purchasing. However, make sure that you use very good , name brand, and fresh batteries with this lock. Cheaper batteries will cause the lock to not work very well when it is very cold outside, as it has been in the Northeast this winter. The batteries are relatively easy to change and hopefully will last for, at least, months at a time. Back-up keys are also provided if the batteries fail unexpectedly. Be aware that this lock does not have a feature of more expensive keyless locks. More expensive locks have a switch so that it will not automatically re-lock itself on the outside once the door is opened. This lock always re-locks itself on the outside. I live with it because of the cheaper cost. Besides, this can be a benefit for people that forget to lock a door. It has worked well for the last month since I installed very good batteries. As I had mentioned before, it is also operating perfectly under brutal conditions this winter. This lock is a cheaper version of a much more expensive, name brand, keyless lock that I had bought for my house. But for the money, the pleasure of a keyless lock, and the ease of installation, I feel that it is a very good buy from Amazon.

This product solved many problems in our home. Let me explain. My wife and I are foster parents and one of the children placed in our home had a problem with "sticky fingers" so we decided we needed to keep our room locked at all times. With the standard door lock for interior doors that can be picked with a hanger, this was a huge pain as we were always loosing the "key" and we also found out our child knew how to pick the lock by themselves. So knowing that we needed a better lock that didn't require a key, we decided to purchase this electronic door lock.The handle and lock has a really nice polished nickel look that appears to be really expensive. Installation was a breeze in my existing door with no modifications to my door necessary (and I'm no handy man). The door has a few nice features like after 3 wrong codes are entered, it does not take any codes for 60 seconds. This is great for stopping kids who think that if they try to guess the code enough times they will get it to open. Also, it lets you set 2 different codes between 3 and 8 digits long so my wife and I could each have our own code (which confused the kids who tried to look over our shoulder when we went in our room). Setting or changing the code is really easy as well and only requires the removal of one screw on the panel on the inside of the door. Last, the lock comes with a key in case the code is forgotten or the batteries die. In the picture you can see a small cut out on the handle - the key has a magnet on the end and when you put the key on the cover it pulls it off and exposes the key slot.So anyway, with this lock, we close our bedroom door closed behind us every time we leave our room and know that our stuff is safe. And when we want to go back inside, we don't have to worry about having a key with us but just enter our code and walk on in. It has made life a lot easier in our hectic home.
