If you're in the market for a new deadbolt, Amazon has a sale today on keypad versions. I love mine. -- (link) - Ender Jul 31, 08:04 9
- Can these be locked from the outside without the key? -- nm - GregW Jul 31, 08:14 6
  - Yeah, when you push the top button it activates the exterior handle for like 15 seconds and you can lock it. - Ender Jul 31, 08:18 3
    - I've had a couple and neither relied on the handle. - zork Jul 31, 08:25 1
      - These get better battery life because they don't do the actual locking/unlocking, they just engage the handle. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 08:35
    - Yeah, I read one of the reviews and they explain it is manually locked/unlocked which is really better than using the battery power to move the bolt. -- nm - GregW Jul 31, 08:21
  - I would think they are all on the 30 second timer. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 08:15 1
    - not all have a timer but all can be locked outside by pressing a button -- nm - zork Jul 31, 08:17
- keypad locks are the best thing. even better are the ones that will self-lock after 30 seconds. you'll never again be accused of not locking up. -- nm - zork Jul 31, 08:07 1
  - the one we had in the last place had that plus had two codes so you can give one to service people and change it after they have used it but keep your - zork Jul 31, 08:08

  - I didn't see that coming either and I liked it that I didn't - it was dullish up to that point - Epiphany Jul 31, 08:11 8
    - I did not see the movie but thought that was given away in the tv spots? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 08:14 7
      - could have been, I'm pretty dumb -- nm - Epiphany Jul 31, 08:16 6
