Where keypad locks earn their keep
Rentals and Airbnbs where keys keep walking off.
Side doors and shop entries so you are not carrying a separate key for every door.
Families that want codes instead of five copies of the same house key in five backpacks.
Codes and batteries
Change codes when a tenant or sitter is done. That is the whole point.
Batteries are a maintenance item. A low-battery warning is not a locksmith emergency if you catch it. A dead keypad at 11 p.m. is. Keep the override key somewhere that is not inside the house.
Questions people actually ask
What happens if the batteries die?
Most residential keypads have a mechanical key override. Some have a contact for a 9-volt jump. You should know which one you have before you need it at night.
