@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.

Ours didn't - but if you left it running and tried to lock it - it would not lock.

This is a really stupid question. Do you have to lock the door as you leave with a key, or does the keyless entry lock the door, too? This might be something I would like for the door to the garage from the house. I do carry my key but don't like to get it out when I don't use it for the car.

@NickNack The way my keyless entry works is that I open the door to get out, but lock it from the inside before closing the door. My keyless entry has a keypad on the outside and you can lock it from that also. Not sure that feature is available any more, but it sure is handy!

Thanks @Krimpette. The ones I was looking at have a deadbolt, so you wouldn't be able to lock them from the inside before closing the door.

@NickNack. Sadly, my car is quite old, so as I've indicated, this wonderful feature probably is no longer offered on any make of car. I think I'll just hang onto my "baby" as long as it doesn't give me any problems!

@Krimpette Now I'm confused. Are you talking about a keyless entry to your car or your house? I was talking about to the house.

In my previous home I had installed a lock on the front door that uses either a key or a combination. I believe it was a Kwikset lock. It worked great to provide cleaning services and other contractors a combination to the lock to get in without passing out my house keys. I had the option to set as many as 8 different combinations to open the door.

I moved recently and just installed a similar lock on the front door to my new home.

I liked using it becuase I can go out for a walk in the evenings without having to carry keys.

@LilLadyNJ....did you have to buy a whole new door knob set or was the keyless lock separate from the door knob? I am not sure which is better... we are not in need of using this with a smart phone.
