An electronic keypad can be more secure than standard door locks if you have young kids.
Do your children constantly lose their house keys? Do you have to hide one or two around the home just in case Suzie forgets her key and can't get in? You are not alone! This scenario happens daily across the country.
A keypad deadbolt can offer added security for your family both inside and out.
There is no longer a need to have to replace lost keys or leave the backdoor open for your kids when they get home from school.
A simple device that you can program with a special number sequence is all you need to relieve yourself of the never ending "key scavenger hunt".
Electronic keypads are easy to put in and programmed within minutes.
Adding this device to your back door can bring peace of mind and sense of empowerment to young Suzie.
She now no longer has to remember having a key in her school bag when she leaves in the morning.
Choosing a keypad code is important for security purposes.
Do not select a birthday or address as your security number.
It can be fairly easy to guess if a person knows anything about you whatsoever.
Codes should be hard enough to guess but easy enough for Suzie to remember.
Some recommendations when choosing your code is to select a specific number that everyone in the family shares in some way (except address).
One suggestion is to pick a number like the dog's birthday or the 4 digits of grandma's phone number.
An electronic keypad can make your life easier not having to worry about key management with young children or even teenagers.
Just make sure the code you choose is no too obvious.
