Code door knobs

We have a keypad deadbolt and like it because we don't have to remember keys or get them out to unlock the door. It's as secure as any other deadbolt. We like that we can input additional codes for the cleaning people, pet sitter, etc. and then delete them if we don't use them anymore.

Ours is older so it's not a "smart" deadbolt, but if I were buying one right now, I'd get one that worked with either Alexa or Google home, so it could be controlled remotely.

Yes we have had one for a few years and it works great! I can open the door through the app, through the touchpad, create a separate password if I wanted to give someone temporary access (like construction crew or someone house sitting). I will get an alert when the battery needs to be changed. I can use Alexa with it as well.

Love it. We put a code on our garage door ages ago so the kids could let themselves in and out with their bikes. I got in the habit of never carrying keys as I either used the code or garage door opener. Bit me in the butt when we lost power one day and I couldn't get inside. I put a coded deadbolt on the back door and continue to live keyless. I change the batteries when we change the smoke alarms every year.

I live in a new townhouse community. We were given smart locks to install if we wanted. I did not install mine. My neighbors on both sides have had trouble with theirs. I can't remember the brand.

This. Ours also has a thumb print option which is what we mainly use.

I have them on both the front and back doors.

I had a few and don't anymore. The batteries die quickly in the extreme cold (not a problem for most peas). If I was to get another one I'd either get a keyed deadbolt installed becasue the coded knob I had quit working and even though it came with a key I couldn't lock the door. So my house was unlocked until I got a new doorknob.

We have electronic locks on both doors, both battery operated. We live in Nebraska, so negative temps happen in winter. They are not smart locks, but they do beep at you when the batteries are running low. You operate the deadbolt as normal from inside the house. I prefer this to keys. No idea the brand. Probably not Schlage, but not the cheapest option either.

I had one installed on the front door of a rental facility that our non-profit owns. Before, we issued keys to main personnel and had a spare key in a lockbox. It was a giant pain and there was nothing to stop renters from duplicating the keys. Now I can assign codes to people and change the code for each renter and when new personnel come on board. We know who is in the building and can give a special temporary code to service providers.

We're getting new doors put on our house soon and we're having a similar lock installed. It's been about 3 years now so it may need an upgrade.

We put in a Schlage keypad lock years ago, on the door from the garage to the house. It is almost always set to lock automatically when it’s closed so that no one can enter the open garage and just walk into the house. But, I can open it quickly and normally from the inside.

When I had a new front door installed four years ago I had a coded keypad lock put on it, also a Schlage. I don’t have one on the back door, but it’s something I might do at some point.

I love them. I can set multiple codes, including temporary ones for when I need someone to have access for a short period of time. I can have the same codes for both of the door locks. I’ve also found that the batteries last for years (I’m in northern Illinois). They are kind of a pain to change, but I don’t have to do it often.

I don’t have the smart kind that can be opened by phone remotely (but I can do that with the big garage door so don’t really need to for the doors into the house), but a friend does and he loves it.

Yes. These are a must for us. We had one in our old house for many years and I only remember changing the batteries once. We have one now in this house, too.

We use August Smart Lock Pro and it’s fab! Watch for the deals on prime day.

I have one that uses a code but does not work with the Internet
I specifically did not want one that connects to the Internet I’d rather not chance hacking.

As previously said, it is as secure as any other deadbolt. There are ways to ‘pick’ most locks if you know what you’re doing.
