Yep, we have this one, been using it for 5 years now. Easy to use, sturdy construction. Have not replaced the battery yet.

Another gadget to beep at me.

Why do the batteries always run out at 1:30 in the morning?

I've used this one for a year without any issue. We all have our own codes so I can tell who unlocked the door. You can also open with your fingerprint. (And yes, there is a manual key I have well hidden on the property in case it malfunctions.)

How do you like the ultraloq? Does the fingerprint reader work pretty consistently?

It will work with a key or two different combination numbers that can be changed at any time. It also has a one button push quick lock function.

I’d rather not have to carry house keys!
I have this as well. Works great. Again, you can have a 4-digit code for family, and another code for others, as mentioned above. The mechanism turns the deadbolt. Gets below 0*F up here at times, and the lock works flawlessly. The battery has lasted two years.

I haven't had any issues and I use it basically every day. My boyfriend did, but I think it was because he saved them at one angle and then kept trying to touch the pad differently when he actually tried to unlock it. I asked him to redo the saved prints, but he didn't. He just prefers to use his code to get in.
