Remote locks
In my campaign to save money I’ve been thinking about replacing our exterior back door’s deadbolt lock with a remote control keyless deadbolt. There are many times when one of the family members goes out at night and leaves lights on out by the door simply because it makes it easier for them to see the lock to insert their key to get into the house. There are plenty of other lights around that area to help them see their way to the door. (Those are motion sensor lights.)
I’m thinking that it would be really nice to have the remote because there are a lot of times folks have their arms full and can’t easily unlock the door with their keys. Pushing the remote button on their keychain would let them enter the house more easily. It would also let them into the house quicker if they felt threatened in some way. I’ve been looking around on the Internet for price ranges and styles and it seems that they will cost about $100. I was glad to see that some of the systems have additional remotes available so that all of our family members can have one. Naturally these locks will also work with a key if necessary.
