Review on πŸ”’ Easy and Secure Keyless Entry: Hugolog Electronic Keypad Deadbolt Lock with Auto-Lock and Battery Backup by Joe Gosa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good basic lock, best with deadbolts

I downgraded to 4 stars from the original 5 because 1 of 3 locks I bought were broken. I ordered one first. Installation and programming was very easy. Even for a very incompetent woman like me it would take 5 minutes but took a little longer because the lock wants to pop out a full 1 inch but the hole in my door frame was 3/4 inch and the lock didn't like that. So pleased with the first one I immediately ordered 2 more. One of the doors is over 30 years old when the standard hole size was 1 3/4 inches. The default size for new doors and locks is now 2 1/8 inches. Went to the local hardware store to buy a hole drill but my drill wasn't strong enough to cut through the door. Called a local locksmith who charged $290 to drill a hole. Found a master for $40. Eventually a hole was drilled and a lock fitted, but it turned out to be defective and didn't work. Used the second lock and it worked fine. Since the second door took so long to install and one of the locks I received was defective, I decided against installing the 3rd door. Overall I would recommend this lock if you are looking for basic keyless entry without all the fancy features like bluetooth, phone app etc. I wish it was in differential trim, but it looks good and you can't beat the price. hope it lasts
