The bottom line: this keypad entry lock delivers straightforward installation, solid build quality, and flexible locking behavior, making it a practical upgrade for front, back, or garage doors.

Key Features

• Fits a range of door thicknesses: Adjustable to fit 1-1/8 in. to 1-3/4 in. doors, so it works on most standard exterior doors without extra modification.
• Flexible backset and reversible lever: The adjustable backset and reversible lever let installers handle left- or right-hand doors with minimal hassle.

Who It's For

This lock is best for homeowners and renters who want to eliminate keys for family members, frequent visitors, or short-term guests while keeping a conventional lever style on their door. It suits front, back, garage entry doors and home office doors where a blend of appearance and convenience matters.

It may be less appropriate for users who need smart home integration, remote control, or audit logs, since the feature set focuses on keypad convenience and mechanical reliability rather than networked functionality.
