Touchscreen Locks: End the Need for Keys

Easy
If you're like me you lose keys or can't find them when you need them!!
So this past weekend I installed a touchscreen key less door lock.
I LOVE IT.
Not only does it work like a charm but my kids can open the door.
Plus, if we ever need to get someone into the house all they need is a pin code.
SWEET.
This is something that might be your next project. Trust me.
For a complete tutorial check out my blog post and video.
Plus, there's a tiny surprise at the end. Don't miss out.
Touchscreen keyless door locks rock.
Remove your old deadbolt.
Install the new deadbolt mechanism facing up.
Add the strike plate or use your existing one if it works with the new lock.
Attach all hardware using 2 inch screws, not dinky 1 inchers.
Make sure the touchscreen is plumb or straight up and down.

    I just installed a keyless (code) deadbolt, too – it's really handy for out of town guests.

    I have a coded door lock for my home. I especially like that it also works with a key in case the battery dies. Which is a serious consideration for me! I also like having the coded entry so that in case of emergency I can give the code & the home can be entered in my absence. That is my objection to the fingerprint option for everything. I certainly don't one of my children to have to use my dead finger to get into my phone or my home! I am thinking in those lines more now since my husband passed away suddenly, & I am nearing 80 yrs old. I know that that day comes unexpectedly! : ) I am grateful that I know I have a home prepared in Heaven for me, & I know that I will be going there. It is without fear, but also I want that time to be as easy for my family as possible! God has been extremely good to me through the years, & because He promised me a home in Heaven if I trusted him with my life, I made that choice & so eternity holds no fear for me! May each once who reads this also enjoy the blessing of His promised gift of eternal life.
