I have somethint similar but it’s purely mechanical, no electronics or batteries to worry about at all. Even my kids can use it fine and it only takes a second to enter the combo.
- smegsicle 3y agoonly a second? easier than a key?
- lazyasciiart 3y agoMuch easier, for many of the kids I know, than keeping track of a key!
- acka 3y agoTo all of you extolling the virtues of combo locks, I guess you live in pretty secluded houses in safe neighborhoods with zero visibility of the keypad from across the street. If I had a combo lock, I'd be more worried about someone with binoculars or an ultra-zoom camera watching me key my lock without covering my hand than my physical key getting lost or stolen.
- lazyasciiart 3y agoI live right outside downtown Seattle but I have a fence, so my door is not visible from the street. I don’t know why more people don’t try it.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoAren't the keys you press visibly different from the others after a while? This is a failure mode I've noticed on several code pads. Even though you don't know the exact code, it gives the numbers so you now only have to guess the order.
- kirubakaran 3y agoJust change the code?
- MattRix 3y agoIf someone cared that much about getting into my house, they could easily get into any key-based lock as well, or through any other way, like a window.
