Elemake Keyless Entry Door Lock Keypad Lock Mechanical Right Handed

After much deliberation I decided what I want is a code at the door handle and a deadbolt (that I rekeyed to match others on the property), so I can give the code to guests and kids, while having the ability to securely lock the doors with a bolt while traveling. Someone designing a mechanical combination door handle that fits within the holes of a standard double bore door, but until that happens, this works very well. The lock is excellent quality. It feels extremely durable in hand and after inspecting the components, pretty much all of it is solid metal and built to last.Here’s what I did:Moved the bolt hole up 4-3/4” using a drill template for making doorhandle holes. You can get these at a local hardware store. Mine came with a drill bit that fits in a little router-type template for recessing the strike plates.Used the provided templates to mark where the 3/8” holes should be, using the existing doorhandle opening as the center, so the handle would land at the same height. Drilled holes with a 3/8” metal bit (because my doors are metal). If you’re not sure about your doors, try holding a magnet to them. A lot of doors now are fiberglass which is much easier to drill. I used a sawsall to make the openings that were close to the pre-existing hole because why bother drilling in a finicky location if you don’t have to. Then I put the doorhandle in place to make sure the holes were right and noted the area where the old holes wouldn't be covered. I filled in those areas with some wood putty. Sanded and spray painted the putty to match the door and then just screwed the handle in like any handle. I’m not a locksmith, I’m a 46 year old mom, but it doesn’t seem so crazy to have to move a couple of holes. Once installed, this set is super nice, and you can’t beat it for the price. I have two of them installed in different places already. .

I usually dont review my purchases, but this one is good - I have had many battery operated locks which have failed due to batteries, corrosion or losing programming. This is mechanical - simply put in a code using physical metal "blocks" which will never fail. Latch up to lock and latch down to open. Simple and failproof.

Once mounted though It does work well. Creating an entry code with the little programming enabelers was easy. Paying attention to the instructions helped a lot.
Punch in your entry code (minimum 5 characters) and the door stays unlocked all day long and just push down on the handle either inside or outside and bam-door is locked. Decent looking chrome and brushed look is okay and the handle feels solid and good in your hand. I did not want a battery driven door lock and this fits the bill with no batteries to have to change out. I'd purchase this device again.

My electronic lock went dead twice so I wanted a non battery lock. This is inexpensive and the way to go if it’s outside.

I have many electronic push-button door locks and thought I'd try a mechanical one for my garage since the electronic I had there was acting up. Very glad I did. It's heavy-duty, well-made, and functions very smoothly.
Note however that no digits in the combination you choose can be repeated - in fact the order of the digits you choose doesn't matter either since it works just by which buttons are depressed in the mechanism. Pulling the lever up will lock it (reset the buttons).
The lock itself is superior in craftsmanship and ease of use than similarly priced electronic alternatives.
