Keyless Entry

After considering many door locks and keyless entry systems, it seems that the Schlage Model FE595 wins hands down. At the time of this posting, it can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot for $130-$150 depending on the color Brass Gold being the most expensive, then Silver, then Flat Black. Then there is the Dead Bolt style instead of the lever door knob style Model BE365. The cost is the same. There are no restrictions on its use. There are 19 different combinations you can use at one time. They may be adjusted, changed or deleted at any time. I will install and program either one it at no charge for you. But shop around. It may be cheaper at another hardware store, and there may be sales on this product from time to time. My research is only intended to find a good product which worked for me . . . not to recommend any particular store.



As you can see, the handles can be changed out to face either left or right depending on the location of your entry door. This is the silver model which costs $140 at Lowes


This is the Brass Gold Model which costs $150 at Lowes.


On this third picture, you can see a door plug where the dead bolt was. You will not need to change your door if you use this plug. It runs around $9 at Ace Hardware and you can paint it so it will not be as visable. And finally this is the Flat Black Model which costs $130 at Lowes.
