We've had this Electronic Deadbolt for a few years. The smaller size of the keypad fit the limited room on our door just fine. With a big family it was easier to use the entry code than everyone having to keep a key or remember to put the key back in the hiding place. I had some problems with the deadbolt working after changing the batteries and called the 800 number for help. The knowledgeable technician helped me quickly and got everything working again.
