I bought an electronic lock which lasted 4 years before the keypad ceased making contact with the brain. The key pad consisted of rounded blister buttons which hardened. I contacted Kwikset and they sent a replacement. All I really needed was a new keypad; The new one was of much better quality due to being made of raised, sealed, rubber buttons. I changed just the key pad and was delighted that the lock worked well again. I hesitate to use the SMART KEY functiion as there has been problems with people locked out due to "rekey" not working properly.

A year previously I bought the same type for my cottage which "ate" batteries. 4 batteries would last 2 weeks. Kwikset quickly replaced it!
I really like these locks as I can change the combination for cottage guests and also for home: Grandaughter, cleaning lady, neigbor watching house (vacation).

Great service from Kwikset!
