SUBCHAPTER D. SECURITY DEVICES
Deadbolt with Key override.
| **19 user code capacity wear-resistant coating that prevents wear patterns. **Add, delete, or change codes in seconds, right at the keypad. **Available in Camelot and Plymouth designs |
* If you have to use your key to unlock the knob/ lever and deadbolt, you are paying for 2 rekeys. To cut rekey expense, replace the locking knob with a passage knob. This is a knob / lever that doesn't require a key to unlock. This will, in the future pay for itself. You are not paying for a rekey on the knob / lever each time you get a new tenant, only the deadbolt, therefore cutting the rekey price in half. If you are worried about the security of the door with one less locking device, the security is in the deadbolt, not the locked knob / lever. This will also prevent the tenant from locking themselves out of the house. When the tenant leaves through the front or back door, they will have to have their keys to lock the deadbolt. They will not be able to lock the knob / lever from the inside and shut the door, only to realize they left their keys in the house. |
