Review on 🔒 Easy and Secure Keyless Entry: Hugolog Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock with Auto-Lock and Battery Backup by Bob Kussmaul

Overall I'm really impressed. This bar has many nice features that usually come at a higher price point. It's well made, attractive, easy to install, and has some nice features. The ability to add random wrong numbers to confuse prying eyes when entering a passcode is a really smart feature. My only complaint (and it's really not the product's fault) is that the e-bolt doesn't fit in the bolt hole. in the door frame if you have a thick seal or the door is misaligned. The bolt and hole should line up closely enough to hook easily. My door has a thick seal around the perimeter of the door frame and when I press the button to latch the deadbolt the deadbolt touches/rubs the deadbolt hole and automatically releases without jamming. To fix this I have to pull the doorknob, then press the latch button and hope it aligns properly. With my old hand-operated deadbolt, I can pull the door handle with varying amounts of force, turn the deadbolt lever until I find the hole, and then close it. I currently have to guess how hard I can pull the doorknob with the new electronic deadbolt because I can't help it "feel" it going into the deadbolt hole. I'll try opening up the hole a bit with a file/rasp to make it less of a problem. As already mentioned, I do not blame the product. I expect this will be an issue with any electronic latch design from any manufacturer. With time and experience, I will be able to figure out how much force needs to be applied to the handle for it to lock firmly into place.
