It is a very secure lock, easily customizable with security codes that can be programmed and changed as needed, and easy to self install. The only potential downsides we note is that the electronics of the lock only carry a 3-year warranty. Over time and a lot of use, the most often used numbers may show wear. Overall, we are happy with this Schlage deadbolt and give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
