Follow the instructions and it's easy to do

Well I just got it. So far I can't be held responsible for the durability but I'm loving it so far! Very easy to install, I did it myself in about 30 minutes. I like backlit keys. I was afraid of the loud horns mentioned in other reviews but I don't think they're too bad. So far, so good. I'm keeping the box for possible future needs but for now I'm very hopeful and satisfied.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine

disappointed with hardware

I have a similar product which is a lever handle and costs twice as much. I like the one I have. I bought it as a gift and installed it. Everything is OK. The numbers are difficult to see as they face forward and are at hip height. Too bad there isn't a separate button for the keyboard's backlight. I hate this code must end with #. Setting different codes is very confusing. My parents could never have done it alone. I'm handy, but I still had some problems.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Fine

GO WITH AMAZON RECOVERY!

THIS IS 100% BROKEN. (I PURCHASED A RECONDITIONED DOOR LOCK ON AMAZON AND IT WORKS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! THIS SCREW (1 side only turned and didn't come out so you can't take this lock apart to install it on the door) The battery operated part does It's simple It doesn't even work after installing new batteries Revain's refurbished lock has the same arrangement However, it works - No key required Please check with Revain Refurbished before purchasing, you won't regret it These companies sell on…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons

Knock knock :) on hardware

Extremely easy to install One of the best investments we've made in a few months Easy to use for adults and kids alike. We installed it for the tailgate. You can program it with a number that's easy for you to remember BUT it also has a key (which we hid well outside) in case the battery runs out. Why did we buy? My child lost the key and then forgot it. One day he didn't come in, went to a friend's house and forgot to tell us. We didn't hear from him and had to call the school/bus/authorities.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Great door knob for protecting loved ones with dementia

Wow. We really like this doorknob. The packaging was nice. The door handle is solid and looks high quality. The price of the Revain was good too. We made a dutch door for my mother's safety. She has dementia and wanders around a lot. She fell down the stairs so we had to take her to the ground floor of the house and block access to all the stairs in the house. This door is in the kitchen leading to the garage, basement, children's room and attic bedroom. We didn't want to close the kitchen with

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • I will add later

Works great and easy to program.

I would give it 5 stars if there was a way to turn down the volume of the beeps. I live in an apartment building and can't get that loud. (Nevertheless, if you're a little forgiving, you can fix this by hot-gluing the hole on the speaker). Otherwise, I am very satisfied. The lock is just as easy to change as any other lock and I love that it relocks the door in 3 seconds. I'm going to have roommates and I need something to make sure nobody forgets to lock the door. I can also set a code for…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • No instructions

Rating updated. NOT as good as I had hoped.

11 months update: my lock has stopped working. All the lights work, the code accepts, it clicks inside but the handle turns and won't open the door. Now I have to leave the emergency key in the lock all the time. I contacted the company through customer service. Leave a detailed message. They reacted very quickly, but to no avail. They said to go to their website and contact them outside of Amazon. I did just that. They don't have a contact page, so I found their email address and left a second

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • disappears
