Schlage keypad locks - a smart way to stay safe

So when I was recently invited to try out the new Schlage keypad lock, I was ecstatic, since I get freaked out regularly.

This lock is great because it’s still a typical deadbolt, but with the keypad, you can to add, change or delete user codes based on your families entry needs. Why have a keypad lock on your homes front door you ask?

Here is the result of a recent survey that was done on Mom Central:

• 80% of Mom respondents reported that stories of local crimes encourage them to rethink their current locks.

• 70% of Moms have given keys to people who are not members of the household and when asked to consider how many non-residents have keys to their homes, 86% reported feeling at least moderately concerned.

• 84% of Moms have experienced a child, babysitter, or housekeeper entering a designated "off-limits" area in the home, sometimes with serious consequences.

• Almost half (48%) of survey Moms said they would like to leave a spare key hidden outside of the house but don't feel comfortable doing so.

• 84% of respondents reported that house members have been locked out of their home at least a couple times per year.

So what is so great about the new Schlage Locks? (other being named a Platinum award winner in the Awards for Design Excellence (ADEX) competition sponsored by Design Journal magazine, and being featured on The Learning Channel's Designing Spaces )
