    Good lock for the price. Ive been using this lock for PIN number access to my front door, and garage side door, for about a year now.

    • Is there a way to lock it so it can't be opened from the inside?

      • +40

        Nope. Its a turn knob on the inside.

        Everytime these locks go on sale, people argue over their families burning to death if it was a double-deadlock, vs thieves walking out the front door with their stuff if its not a double-deadlock.

        Personally, Id rather get brand new stuff via insurance (and non-crispy family) so Im happy with the turn-knob :D

        • +4

          If you have young kids it's better to have a way to lock the door from the inside.
          I'm not saying double deadlocks are the only solution but having a door that can be opened from the inside by toddlers is more of a risk to me than us being caught in a fire.

          @Utopian:
          With all due respect, I find it very hard to believe that you have never in your child's life let them out of your sight. Especially in the comfort of your own home.

        • +2

          But if it couldn't be opened from the inside this would be perfect for locking the hitchhikers in…

          nevermind. FBI, go back to whatever you were doing. >_>

          @dan76n: what you want to get is this then… Lockwood 005 It can be locked on the inside or can act like a regular deadlock or can be open at all times. Even has a red indicator on it to notify that it is deadlocked from inside as well. It is also a very easy lock to get rekeyed to suit your existing locks…

        • +1

          Don't you pay higher insurance premium's though? I seem to recall a familiar question when applying for insurance is do you have deadlocked doors and windows …

          I'll take me chances with throwing some furniture through a window in the case of fire ;)

        • +5

          I think idea of the dead lock to use when you go on holiday not when your family is home :)

        • -7

          @dan76n: Did it early on, distracted by a phone call. Face planted on tiles. There are 4 adults in my house, so he's never more than one room away. Sight and sound are always possible.
          We try to educate his deep curiosity, let him experience things. Hard to find a balance between risk and "helicopter parenting". Forever a work in progress.
          But at least you gave a point & respected another opinion. Unlike the faceless neg votes.

        • @boomramada: Exactly why I asked about locking from the inside.

        • +1

          @dan76n: I don't have kids so had not considered the toddler factor.
          If replacing an existing lock you don't have much choice in location, but if installing new, these locks are easier to see/use if mounted higher (closer to shoulder level), and would help get out of young kids reach too.

        • +4

          I've never understood the desire to make it difficult for the home invader to get out. It's like they think nothing could possibly go wrong in confronting them.

        • +3

          @boomramada: The safety debates around a double deadlock, so internal to make getting out more difficult. I'm not sure being on holiday factors into this…anyone in the house will get out however slower than if there wasn't a double deadlock.

          @dan76n: I'm sure there's other ways to make getting out hard for kids. I've seen plastic sleeves you slip over the handle which require a small amount of strength to press in to turn a door as an option. If a kid without the muscles attempts to turn the handle with the thing on, it just spins freely and the door wont open. Basically like the safety lid on a medication bottle but without so much force required.

          There's also kid fences etc.

        • +2

          @boomramada:

          I agree…people that are going on about deadbolts being dangerous are incorrect. You don't use them when you're home, you only deadbolt when you're out…

          As for a burgler getting caught in your own house if it's on fire…well tough shit….

        • +2

          @dan76n:
          I put a door chain on my door for this specific reason.
          If one of my children decide to open the door they can't get out.

          i'd rather that then deadlock the door.

        • @Enzalicious:
          Yes we just sold out house and we are renting. We enquired about installing one but it was rejected.

        • +1

          @tantryl:

          Its more to make it dificult for robbers to clean you out of all your stuff from your house/apartment.

          Windows are far smaller and harder to get your stuff out than an open front door.

        • @xoom: sure. But let's say you wake up to a noise or come home while your house is being robbed. Congratulations, you've interrupted a burglary. You've just triggered a fight or flight response and made flight more difficult, maybe impossible. Guess what they're going to do?

        • @tantryl: im with placard on this. You dont use the deadbolt when you are in the house. Only when you are not.

          Not just because of robbers but also in case of fire.

          Who said you need a locksmith?
          It takes 5 minutes to install a door chain. I've done it myself on 2 of my properties.

          Let the grown ups talk please!

        • @Enzalicious: we are talking about electronic locks, not door chains
          Keep on topic please

        • @dan76n:

          Seriously, there is never a legitimate need for a door that locks from the inside of a house if personal safety is the main concern. Like you said, there are simple alternatives for toddlers that have been around forever (e.g. high chains, though of course any kid could be persistent or climb out the toilet window). But if the same toddler removes the key and there's an emergency it's much worse. On the flipside, it might be less likely you'll deadlock a family in a burning swimming pool than a burning house.

          "At least when we die in a fire we'll have all our beloved unstolen possessions burning with us". And what type of thief would rob a family on holidays but forget his basic robbing tools?

      • So not so good if used in the dungeon then?

    • +2

      I did the same thing years ago, got NFC/pin code/biometric locks fitted and now can't live without them on my house. Pretty hard to lock my fingers in the house. And as soon as people see them at my house and ask about it, sure enough, I am installing them at their house.

      For extra security, I use ones without key locks in them. Defeats the purpose of having electronic locks in the first place.

          They have external battery connectors to touch a 9v battery up to. Just get a 9v battery, touch it up to the contacts, screen lights up, enter your code, lock opens, enter house, replace batteries…

        • +3

          We have a safe at work that if the batteries go flat on the pin pad you can hold a little 9v battery against two terminals while you put your pin in to unlock.
          It's a fail safe for those that miss the audible "flat battery" warning that goes off once the batteries are low.
          Maybe similar with these?

        • @pegaxs: Do you keep 9v batteries outside your house then? Or would you have to go buy one when you come home one day to find that the lock has died?

        • +6

          @ravonda: that's the point of failsafe feature
          cheaper to go and buy a 9V battery than having a locksmith unlock for you at $100 if you left the key inside the house.

        • +3

          @ravonda: Nope. Batteries last years in these locks. Gets opened and closed several times a day. And they give you warning beeps to let you know to change them. I change them as soon as I hear the beeps. So the only time I would ever have to rely on the 9v, I would just drive to the closest place that would have one, or if you lived miles from anywhere, just leave one in the car. It's not a weekly event. I've had these electronic lock types for maybe 6 or more years and only had to replace one set of batteries on the two houses I've had them in and never been caught out needing the 9v, but I know that it's there if a battery has a failure with no warning…

        • @pegaxs:
          I have the Samsung equivalent. And the batteries in it have lasted 2 years since build completion.

        • @Diji1: you still need to enter the code before you can enter, just powering it up doesn't mean you get a free pass.

        • @Diji1: lol what a silly question. They would power the lock as if the battery hadn't run out? Still need a code….

        • -1

          @ravonda: He keeps a supply of 9v batteries in his safe.

      • These sound interesting, have you got a link?

        • Just jump on google and type in "keyless door locks" or "electronic door locks" but don't confuse these with "digital door locks" that are actually mechanical.

          There is heaps of information out there, too much for me to just link any one site, go to Bunnings or Masters and they usually have working ones on display that you can play around with and see how they work…

      • With regards to PIN code. Is the keypad randomised? If its static, couldnt u use some flour and figure out the combination. It might take 256 attempts but if you see 4 digits pressed commonly. You could technically work it out. Are there extra security features?

        • +1

          I don't know about this model, but on my Samsung units, they always have you enter extra safety digits first. Tap to wake up unit, it displays 2 random numbers, you tap them in any order, screen lights up, enter your pin code and press open, Ta Dar! Door unlocked. I use a 6 digit pin code with 2 same numbers, so the flour trick would not work with the Samsung lock I have.

        • +1

          @pegaxs:
          Thanks. Thieves will just get frustrated and find a window to smash instead

        • +5

          @Skimpywallet: This is what I tell people all the time. Locks are only there to keep honest people out. If a thief wants what you had badly enough, no lock, electronic or keyed, is going to keep him out. And a good theif is going to turn up with a hammer or lock picking gear, not a bag of flour. :D

        • +1

          @pegaxs: Hopes are that they'd see a house with some diverse security measures and be afraid of CCTV or something and just move onto the next house.

      • Which ones do you recommend? (I'm in an apartment, the door is a fire door.)

        • +2

          Don't install anything without first consulting your strata manager or if you are renting, your agent. Both can take a dim view of you installing anything different, lock wise…

          As for electronic door locks, I use Samsung. I have gone away from fingerprint (biometric) readers and more towards pin code and NFC locks. Pin code because it's easy to program in and out users without them being there. I can tell someone a code to enter over the phone if I need to. I like NFC as well, as I can use my phone to make new keys. Lose a card? No problem, grab a NFC card from work, program it using my phone (sorry iPhone users. :P) and at my old job, I programmed my house lock to recognise my NFC ID card from work.

          I also like to use keyless locks. The reason is that there is no point of entry to jam a tool into to turn a cylinder. I prefer dead latch over deadbolt, but that's a personal preference. If your door has deadbolt, use it. If it has a latch, then replace it with a latch type.

          It's all about budget. You can buy a generic will do the job electronic lock for this posting price. Does the job, opens locks, simple. Or I can go the other end of the spectrum and quote units costing hundreds that will do everything you would ever want it to do…

          Side note: NEVER fit a double deadlock to your only egress (exit) point. I don't recommend fitting them at all on residential premises. If people want them, then I suggest something that has the ability to be locked and unlocked and only dead latch the inside for the minimum time you need to and leave the keys close by. (Posted a link above to the Lockwood 005 as an example)

          Any reason you can't use your phone to unlock an NFC lock? (Nexus users here, so NFC is no issue.)

        • +1

          @warwickjames: Ahhhh, but can you read and write NFC tags with it is the question. I don't need to make a lot of ApplePay payments to my front door… Having it and being able to use it is another thing… I don't own an iPhone 6/6s/6+/6s+, so I can not vouch for what it can and cannot do NFC wise…

        • +2

          @Mic Cullen: And yes, that is the sort of lock I would install. It is easy to just remove your lock, leave the deadbolt in the door and this replaces the key access hardware. Everything else about the door locking works the same. You can use NFC tags or pin codes.

          As for NFC on the Nexus, I use a Nexus 6 and I don't know that you can use it like that to open doors. The phone is basically a reader or a writer. It would need an app to fake a NFC card. The phone is much like a DVD burner. It can read DVDs and write to DVDs, but it can't be a DVD.

          That being said, in newer versions of Android, (sorry iPhone users, again…) support what is called HCE and is basically emulation for NFC cards, built into the phones firmware. I don't know much about it or how to use it, but with a bit of messing about and a learning curve, it may actually be the case that you can use your phone as a NFC access card… Read more here… Android phone as NFC card your mileage may vary warning… :D

          Is this an ok alternative to that samsung? its half the price: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221751658777

        • +2

          @2real4u: Up to you. It's a good unit. They are easy enough to install. This is a latch type, so it won't operate a deadbolt. Use it if you already have a deadlatch type of door lock. It's cheaper, so it will have a few less features a more expensive one has, but it will do everything an everyday user would want from it. It has the important parts, NFC, pin code, anti shock, pin hide, multiple user pin codes and no key way.

          Just note that it is a Korean model and as such, instructions will have to be searched for in English if they are not supplied with it. Also consider warranty issues. Yes, it's cheaper, but if it needs warranty. That being said, I always use Samsung electronic locks because I have never had a failure on any of mine or any I have ever installed.

    • TIP - be sure to change the master programming code from 12345678 to something else (must be 8 digits, record it somewhere safe) as this master code will also unlock the door.

      You dont want any random person to be able to walk up and type in 12345678 and get into your house, even though you are using custom PIN numbers yourself.

    People seem a bit paranoid about security. The solution? Move to a suburb in a Liberal party electorate, that isn't on a train line and doesn't have any public housing. Then you don't have to worry about theft or home invasion. In contrast, in suburbs with public housing, Labour party voting welfare recipient trash will even swipe K-Mart quality clothes from off your clothing line.
