MiLocks DKK-02SN Indoor Electronic Touchpad Keyless Entry Door Lock, Satin Nickel

The only difference between putting one of these on a door and a traditional door knob is the locking mechanism and the keypad. When you install it, make sure that all the holes line up, and check the door thickness, and where the knob is concerning the door edge. The door latch will adjust for the depth of the door from the edge. Also, make sure that the wire is going through the opening at the top of the mechanism. Follow the directions and you should have no problem installing this lock. The keypad lights up when you depress the keys and once you have your combination set (which is also easy to do) the door will open every time with the correct combination. There are also keys included. Overall, this was an easy install and it looks good on the 4 doors I locked so that unauthorized persons could not enter.

Works mostly as intended... Easy install on a previously installed garage door handle. light up pad doesnt work as intended even when you hit the light up button. The light up keys all come on but you just can read what the numbers are or say! Aggravating since thats part of the reason for buying it but in all honesty it really hasnt been a big problem... I use my phone sometimes but the keys almost become second nature to you. I use the auto lock feature and thought maybe it may be a pain in the butt going in an out of the garage all the time, but I let it lock with the door part of the way open and then shut it when im done for the day. Otherwise im just in and out for a minute, pull it shut, and dont have to worry about it! Avoids that inevitable half way down the driveway, awe crap I forgot to shut the garage door moment!

I read many of the negative reviews before hand but decided to purchase this lock anyway. I had believed that the few incidents were isolated like all products have and I would most likley not get them. Boy, was I wrong. Installtion was easy enough and not terribly complex. The entire installation was maybe 10 minutes using nothing but two phillips head screw drivers. The lock itself appeared on first glance to be well made and solid. Creating lock codes was easy enough and we were all set to go. I tested the lock a few times with the door open and then once closed and everything worked well. I went in and out of the door may be 4 times under normal use and stayed in my office for about an hour before nature called and I went to leave. This is when the door decided to stop working. I was completely locked inside my office and could not get out. The door handle would not turn as if locked and the locking button would not turn either. With my legs crossed I ended up having to remove the entire door assembly to get out. After trying to see what happened I found that while most of the unit is well made of steel the locking button itself is made of plastic on the inside of the handle. Something within that piece had broken and caused the door knob to lock and not unlock. Thankfully I was the one who had gotten locked in and not an evening housekeeper. My office is in an area of the building where few people go after hours and if this had happened to one of them I would have probably found them sleeping on my office floor in the morning. I returned this unit and another I had not installed yet and replaced them with another manufacturer.

So after locking myself out of the house (in the garage) in my PJs and nobody is home and nobody is coming home, I decided to have a keypad-key lock and hide the key where I might remember it. So I spent an hour drilling through my titanium plate protected lock (who does this kind of thing? Oh. Nevermind) and wiped out a bunch of good drill bits. Fortunately I have several sets because I cant remember where I put them so I buy another. In this case, honey, it saved my bacon. OK bought the above keypad lock because it was stainless steel and a lot cheaper than most of the rest. I mean its inside a garage, and if I ever have to drill it out....l you get the reasoning here). Some things to be ready for: It doesnt fit under a standard US placed deadbolt. on the outside I needed to grind off about 3/16 to clear the bottom of the deadbolt. No I can't turn it upside down because then the keypad is upside down and keys are hard enough when you have had a couple of beers. That would make no sense. But it snugs up against the deadbolt and looks no worse for the experience. Route the little data cable through but do it upside down. I will get to that. You dont put the screws through the whole assembly like you are used to. You bolt on a plate that will secure the inside part of the knob but remember how the outside barely fit? Well the inside doesnt even come close. Like 2" overlap with the deadbolt (Hellooooo Marketing Dept!) So That part can go upside down cause it doesn't have a keypad just a batter case. So ignore "this side up" on the plate (nice steel plate but deforms a bit as you torque it down) and route the cable through the cutout. It juuuuuust barely reaches. Now assemble a connector so small it would be at home in your laptop with your fingers while holding up the inside knob. Cant be done. Step 1. Tape the know so it doesnt fall by itself. Step 2. carefully use a needlenose to line up (white wires match dont care about the rest) and gingerly snap it closed. If it doesnt snap, it will come apart and your keypad will be connected to nothing. Now you can put the inner knob on with the 2 screws that now mate with the bottom of the plate. Ta Da. Success. Add some industrial batteries cause you dont want to find dead batteries when you get home and follow the programming instructions. After two or three tries you will probably get it. Once installed, it looks good, works Ok. The unlock button is on the lower right. Get a red sharpie and make it easier to see. Or nail polish, I dont judge. You got the key or the keypad and for a stainless steel lock for the price of an unkeyed closet lockset. Oh before I forget. New installations- the strike plate has non-standard spacing for the mounting screws so mark before you cut or if there is an existing strike plate just use that on. The screws they provided are tiny. Get some nice 1 1/2"-2" stainless steel brutes to hold the strike plate in place. Enjoy.

This lock is great! Sometimes we forget to close the garage door, or we need to keep the garage door a little bit open so our outside cat can get in the garage to keep warm. I always worried that, if someone got into our garage and we forgot to lock it that we would have a hairy situation on our hands. We no longer need to worry whether or not we remembered to lock the door from the garage that comes into the house because it locks automatically- saving many worries and headaches in the morning or when we go out of town. The buttons do wear down a little bit after a while, especially if all the entry codes use a specific number. All 3 codes on our door include a 1 and after a year, the 1 key is a little flaky. Changing the codes up is easy, so it's not a huge deal. This lock has worked consistently for over a year now, always auto-locking when the door has been opened; it still has the original set of batteries in it and is still going strong. I have another (more expensive) auto lock in the house and it does not work as well or consistently as this one. I will re-buy this one again for other doors in the house.

UPDATE: I have modified the internal components and secured the cylinders in place using nuts and a short machine screw. Unit now functions as it should. Keypad and knob arrived with broken internal brass components- rendering the unit unusable. I understand that some inconsistencies and issues occur during the shipment and manufacturing processes. However, the nature of the flaw and breakage compromises any integrity that this product purports to provide. I suspect that all units may potentially be vulnerable to this point of failure. Both my housemate and I ordered these knobs for our rooms. Both my housemate and I received units which had broken in the same place. The breakage occurred where the brass cylinder holds the front and back unit together. From the pictures you will see that these cylinders were not well-secured which is indicative of a design flaw. There was no soldering, screw, or even glue to hold the cylinders in place which likely contributed to the cylinders separating from its base. Simply put, this unit is not secure and I invite the engineers responsible for the design to reconsider how these cylinders are secured. Typically I do not leave comments for items I purchase. However, my recurring poor experiences with this product certainly warranted a warning to those shopping for similar products. This product is aesthetically pleasing and comes at an attractive price point. However the point of failure for this product entirely compromises the security and usability.

So far I'm loving this lock. I installed mine on the door leading out to our garage. It was very easy to install. You can go to their website and they have a video for installation and code programming. After reading all the negative reviews from past years I'm hoping they have worked out the kinks. I will update my review after a month or so. Some reviewers said it locked automatically after only seconds and I wondered if they didn't realize there was a switch on the inside of the battery compartment that has an Auto setting that locks the door after 10 seconds. You can set it to Off. In the video it shows the switch being set to Auto from the factory. Mine was set to the Off position. Maybe they decided to change this setting because of the confusion. I looked over the directions and only when viewing the installation video did I realize there was an Auto lock option. I also wondered if the cables might have been pinched when it was installed and over time caused intermittent issues. In the video they tell you to try to get as much of the cable inside the door. At first my cable was bent up but as I checked more I was able to get the entire connection recessed in the door. It did take some time. The hardest part to me was getting the side with the battery part on where it was flush to the door. I couldn't tell if that was due to the cable or my alignment. Even in the video the guy had to jiggle it somewhat. Also I would not tighten the screws with a drill. In the video they only use a Phillips head and warn about using a drill and over tightening. To be honest I was afraid the lock was going to feel unstable and shaky on the door due to the size but it feels extremely sturdy and well made. My advise would be to view the installation video online instead of just going by the instructions. It's only 6 minutes long. Hopefully I won't experience the problems that other reviewers had. So far I'm really pleased.

My use of this lock is on an interior room to keep my disabled adult child out of our bedroom when we are away (or asleep). Very easy to install. It did take some amount of adjusting the tightness of the screws which could cause the lock assembly to bind making it difficult to operate by hand and would bind the automatic locking function. This is true in any lockset, not just this automatic lock set. The door buttons make a quiet beep to confirm the touch has registered. My hearing is poor, so it doesn't bother me, but if we were a younger couple, we might find it bothersome and there is no way to turn it off. It is much quieter than the mechanism so isn't that much of a down side. And the mechanism is not much nosier than me fumbling with a key in a regular lockset. It is a smooth mechanical sound, no loud clunk so doesn't cause someone in the room to startle. I suggest listening to one at a local hardware store of the same style to hear it for yourself if this is a concern. I love the ease of programming. I wanted a lock that would work with a key rather than have to have an electric booster of some type when the batteries fail. Have not had it long enough for the batteries to wear out. It only draws juice when locking and unlocking, so I'm anticipating the 4 AA batteries lasting an acceptable period of time. On the down side or based on my preference, I would rather the interior lock option include having the door locked from the outside but open from the inside. The door is either locked from both sides or open from both sides though it doesn't take much to turn the interior lever which unlocks it. That unlocking is manual so even if the batteries died, you would not be locked in.

Bought this door knob to replace an existing door knob in the house for extra security, and this definitely didn't disappoint. Out of the box, the doorknob is heavy and solid quality. The packaging itself is relatively minimal and eco-friendly, and also comes with instructions on how to set your custom lock password. Installation was easy and all required parts came with the doorknob. Overall, a solid buy, especially for DIY enthusiasts. The build quality has lasted several months now, and I've had no issues with battery life or lock mechanics. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.

After having used it for over two years I can give my overall positive feedback. Considering that my partner is a joiner, fitting the lock using the instruction provided was easy enough. I Found the instruction for setting up a security code useful including how to re-set the code. It doesn’t seem to consume too much energy and only requires battery replacement twice a year. The display buttons require firm push when pressing them but the sound beep is there to acknowledge the digit was entered. Occasionally it takes two time to enter the security code before the lock opens. Generally , satisfied with the quality and operational characteristics of this digital security lock and would recommend it to others.

Siempre tuve curiosidad de probar estas cerraduras electrónicas y esta me sorprendió por la calidad de los materiales y la facilidad de instalación. No hay nada mas que necesites para instalar esta cerradura que no venga incluido en el paquete, la instalación no te lleva mas de 15 minutos y viene perfectamente ilustrado incluso con la opción de poder visitar la pagina para visualizar un video con instrucciones. Características interesantes: -Tiene un botón en la parte superior para activar la luz del teclado y poder teclear la clave en condiciones de poca luz -Tiene la opción de activar o desactivar un seguro automático, es decir si olvidas poner el seguro este se pondrá en automático después de unos segundos, así que si lo activas no tendrás mas la duda de si olvidaste cerrar al salir. -Incluye un par de llaves por si te quedas sin baterías, las cuales no vienen incluidas (4xAA) Contras: Por mas solida que se sienta la cerradura no deja de ser un pomo sencillo estilo cerradura de habitación, es decir no luce muy robusta y puede no ser del todo recomendable para una puerta principal en el exterior sin ningún seguro adicional, claro dependiendo de donde vivas. En lo general recomiendo mucho la compra.

Die Installation war einfach und alles hat perfekt funktioniert. Genau das richtige wenn man nicht unbedingt 300 Euro für ein PinLock Schloss haben möchte.

Très facile à installer et à programmer. 2 mode, soit fermeture automatique après ouverture soit manuel en appuyant sur le bouton, j'ai obpter pour la 2eme solution. Je m'en sert pour verrouiller mon bureau a l'intérieur de ma maison. C'est parfait pour mon utilisation mais reste quand même bien trop léger pour l'utiliser sur une porte d entrée. Le produit serait une vingtaine d'euros moins chère j'aurais rajouté une étoile. Je le trouve légèrement trop chère
