Keyless Mechanical Combination Door Lock Digital Code Keypad Security Entry Door Stainless Steel 304 Not Deadbolt (Only for The Left Handed Door Opens Inward) … (Right Handle)

The media could not be loaded. After much deliberation I decided what I want is a code at the door handle and a deadbolt (that I rekeyed to match others on the property), so I can give the code to guests and kids, while having the ability to securely lock the doors with a bolt while traveling. Someone would make a fortune by designing a mechanical combination door handle that fits within the holes of a standard double bore door, but until that happens, this works very well. The lock is excellent quality. It feels extremely durable in hand and after inspecting the components, pretty much all of it is solid metal and built to last.Here’s what I did:Moved the bolt hole up 4-3/4” using a drill template for making doorhandle holes. You can get these at a local hardware store. Mine came with a drill bit that fits in a little router-type template for recessing the strike plates.Used the provided templates to mark where the 3/8” holes should be, using the existing doorhandle opening as the center, so the handle would land at the same height. Drilled holes with a 3/8” metal bit (because my doors are metal). If you’re not sure about your doors, try holding a magnet to them. A lot of doors now are fiberglass which is much easier to drill. I used a sawsall to make the openings that were close to the pre-existing hole because why bother drilling in a finicky location if you don’t have to. Then I put the doorhandle in place to make sure the holes were right and noted the area where the old holes wouldn't be covered. I filled in those areas with some wood putty. Sanded and spray painted the putty to match the door and then just screwed the handle in like any handle.Some reviews mentioned locksmiths complaining about this install. I’m not a locksmith, I’m a 46 year old mom, but it doesn’t seem so crazy to have to move a couple of holes. Once installed, this set is super nice, and you can’t beat it for the price. I have two of them installed in different places already. .

This is a great product, no batteries to worry about. The code changing process was very simple and can be easily changed in the future... Only drawback that I wasn't really thinking about was when you are drilling the holes in your door, take your time and make sure the holes are perfectly aligned, perpendicular and plumb to the door. If they are not, you'll have to do a little finagling to get the back and front panel to align with the bolts. It's not a major issue, I kinda rushed it, but it would be worth it to use a center punch to mark the holes before you drill and have another person looking at your drill position while you are drilling. Great product!

I love the idea of this mechanical lock. The design is sound. The only issue is that the latch bolt they supply will not resist being shimmed by a credit card. Fortunately it is compatible with the existing latch bolt I had in my exterior door. The better kwikset/schlage latch bolt has that little pin that prevents the latch from being shimmed open when the door is shut. With that one modification this a great little lock. I may put it on other exterior doors in my house after I test drive this one for a while longer.

We have a autistic young adult and I’ve installed several of these in our home to keep him out of our personal rooms. He has a habit of getting into everything. These knobs are great. No batteries and I’ve never had one fail. They also add an extra level of security for when we’re not home. If someone was to break in these could possibly keep them out of our rooms or at least slow them down a little.

We installed this on a mobile deer stand and it makes life so much easier. No more wondering if I dropped, lost or forget the key. Can be manipulated with gloves on which helps in outdoor applications. Tactile feel is very good and lock up is strong. We also installed this on an outswing door without any issues. Feels sturdy.
