270 CNT 514 SMT RBP RCALFD Contemporary Smartcode Touchpad Deadbolt - Matte Black

This lock is amazing, highly recommended! Reading the negative review from 'B' I can only suggest that he is either not a qualified installer or he represents another lock company. I say this BECAUSE the only way this lock will fail is IF THE DEADBLOT DOES NOT EASILY GLIDE INTO THE DEADBOLT RECEIVER. I know this from firsthand experience, as our new house's front door was sagging to the point that it caught the deadbolt striker plate at the bottom of it's opening. I'm a carpenter and a windows and door installer for over 15 years. The fix here was a quick inspection of the top hinge to see if the installer had used a sinker screw (a 2 1/2" #10 flat head screw) that secures the hinge not just to the door jamb, but is also long enough to go THROUGH the jamb and secure the hinge to the 2X6 or 2/4 door frame opening. Understand? It sounds like 'B' didn't take care of this very basic issue, I see it all the time. Just remember that the deadbolt itself must move freely through the striker plate as it locks the door. Trouble free here for 1 year, same batteries.

Im very happy as i dont need to shuffle to find keys while holding stuff.
