Anyone have experience with these locks, pros, cons?

thanks!

We have one and absolutely love it.  You can open the door remotely too so when loved ones come and set when they leave.

@Hoovermom...there are several styles....did you buy new door handles with the keyless entry attached or the door knobs with the pad on the front of the knob?  Can I ask what brand you purchased?  Thanks

Many years ago we replaced the front door lock to our home with a push button lock because DH wouldn't carry a key and whenever the electric would be off he was locked out, because he always used the garage door opener. 

That keyless lock worked perfectly for him - he was never locked out again. When it needs batteries it beeps softly  to tell you to replace batteries.

When we sold the house the buyers didn't want to be bothered with it so we brought it to our new house and put the original lock back on at the old house.

One of the reasons I'm hanging onto my older car is that it still uses a key.  I absolutely hate keyless ignition.  I do like keyless entry on my car.  I can use that if I need to get something out of my car and don't have keys handy.   I had keyless ignition on a loaner car once and I hates it.  I was always afraid I would forget to turn it off.

@Krimpette...funny you should mention not shutting it off..my girlfriend drives a $40,000+ car....all the bells and whistles on it.  She drove to the store, got out, did her shopping came back to the car and thought, i'ts cool in the car (she was in Florida)....it dawned on her she left the car running while she shopped.

That was one thing she shared with me not her husband, he would have been furious with her....although it has an auto shut down and no one could have driven off with it, as she had the key with her....he still would have been angry.

I thought if you opened the door while the car was running it would beep.  I love my keyless car.  I can keep my keys zipped up and never think about them.

We used to have a car with keyless ignition and my DH went out to breakfast with some fishing buddies and they ALL got out of the car & walked into the restaurant leaving the car running. You'd think one of them would have noticed. When they went back to the car after they ate , they said Hey - the car is running. My DH said he felt like a fool.
