There are a few things I didn't like about it but overall it was pretty great. Yeah the fact it runs on AA's for a year is great.	The Error Guy (14052)

I seen locks similar in NZ.	wmoore (6009)

Also, what happens when it sends you a low battery reminder and you're away on holiday? You could just use your key, but if you rely on it then you probably wont be carrying your key will you? Also, it connects via wifi. Is there any way to tell if it loses connection? It is a good concept, but in reality I don't think it would work as well as they would have you believe.	pine-o-cleen (2955)

Not the most secure design as burglars can let themselves out of your door (with the goods), but allows easier emergency exit out of your house (in cases of fire).	Jen (38)

Rather than large households and businesses that have multiple users in want of entry. Low battery when away? I'd just ask the neighbours to change it. Give them a txt code or you can unlock it when they knock. I guess it's not flawless but with my Gfx Calculator I can get a good month + out of the battery when it gives a low warning. I'd say it would be operational for at least that. Esp if you are away since the locking mechanism isn't actuating.	The Error Guy (14052)
