Electronic Deadbolt Keyless Entry Door Lock

The electronic deadbolt keyless entry door lock offers every homeowner the chance to secure any door in the home very conveniently. They still have the regular key feature but the also have a lighted keypad that you can customize a combination into and use instead for unlocking the door. This is great especially for darker areas of the exterior of the home and for people who frequently lock the door handle as well as the deadbolt.

Just like traditional deadbolts, the electronic deadbolt can be of high quality, and it can be of very low quality. There is a big range. To ensure a high quality product, we reccommend buying one from a well respected manufacturer. The two we suggest are Kwikset and Presto-Matic. Their products are well reviewed and rated by industry experts and consumers.

Installing a keyless deadbolt can be a little tricky. It is suggested that unless you are a pretty handy do it yourselfer, that you hire a locksmith to install the lock for you. Poor installation can cause malfunction and complete failure. If you are to attempt installation yourself, make sure that the company you buy from offers technical support. Most of the quality manufacturers will provide toll free numbers specifically for installation support.

The durability, strength, rust resistance, and lock length of electronic deadbolts will vary from brand to brand and model to model, just as tradtitional deadbolts do. The advice here is to not go cheap. With these locks, you get what you pay for and there is no good value in cheap models.
