Can these be used in pairs (in and out) to eliminate the keypad entry? How long do the AA batteries last?

Not sure of the battery life but at least 2 months since that was how long ago we installed it.They could be used in pairs as they are wireless and are not wired into the board. That would also defeat any security aspects of having the gate if that is important to you. If it is Iimportant, consider using a remote for persons entering often.

I don't know about using them in pairs. We have a simple pushbutton entry. The batteries last a year or so on ours, but we don't have a whole lot of traffic. We use Duracells.

yes, but security at this point is breached during entry i.e. unwanted visitors. batteries last, depending on weather conditions and type.

Yes they can be used that way but keypad is more of a security feature.... batteries changed about once a year in a residential application with 2 exits per day on average.

We've had our lock(s) for less than a year, so can't definitely answer, but the key buttons are very well made. I think you should not be concerned. I would be less concerned about such wear than I would with a telephone key pad, which gets a lot more use.

Hello, I own 4 of these and small fingers can be a problem but the key pad works perfectly. Its a bliss to program.

I don't believe you can mute the keypad, though it's not terribly loud. You can however, prevent the numbers from displaying when you enter the security code. Just hit the ENTER button twice before you start to enter the numbers. This is useful if someone is looking over your shoulder as you enter your code.

I'm pretty certain this only works as a second control. But since most of the DYI alarms are keypad + system all in one box, it allows me to hide the main one in a closet and just use the touchpad near the door.

I have a MacBook Air. I've had no problems with it connecting to the keypad. I know the original batteries were just about useless. Make sure your batteries are good. Otherwise, my Mac syncs fine and maintains the connection.

No, this is not waterproof, especially on the back side that contains the batteries- though that would normally be on the interior. The front side with the keypad seems better sealed, but would only recommend it for a location that does not get direct downpour (e.g. overhang, damp location should be ok).

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

Yes, easily. You just twist and remove one of the earpads. Two AAA batteries--must be the rechargeable kind, though.I should add that while this wasn't a problem with mine, one of the channels going bad was. I replaced the headphones with new ones, using the base unit from the remanufactured one, and haven't had a problem since.

There is an external battery pack that connects from outside in case the batteries die. The small cap below the keypad unscrews to provide access to the keyhole (so you can also open the door manually with a key if necessary).

Yes, both keypad and keyed lock works as intended as a stand alone product. Keypad is programmable without any other equipment attached as well, supplied instructions are easy to follow. Yale also sells the same deadbolt/lock without the networking module for a slightly less and if you're not intending to utilize that functionality you can save a little money by purchasing the other version. The networking module can be bought separately also.

Press a right code and it resets the lock in 5 seconds, plenty of time to open the door. Press a wrong code 4 times and the keypad disables itself for about 30 seconds.

The battery power DOES NOT retract or extend the deadbolt. That is done manually. The battery powers the light and the keypad + mechanism that allows you to engage or disengage the deadbolt.

As has been stated, the battery engages the knob, allowing you to manually retract or extend the bolt. This probably greatly extends the life of the battery, by letting the user do the work of moving the bolt. When the battery gets low, you'll be warned by a a delay before unlock, a High/Low beep then 1 Red then Green light flash. Once it's dead the keypad will not function. The key will always work.

You will disarm basically by pressing 'off' on the keypad followed by your pass cord. Or just press 'off' on the keychain. My system is simple. That's all I know.

Yes, as long as the door frame can accommodate the door lock mechanism. Most inside doors are hollow core so some adjustments should be made respectively. Majority of the house entry doors are solid core doors that support this door lock mechanism. The 4-AA batteries last about 6+ months. We love our biometric door lock. It's great.

The battery compartment is inside. According to the product information book they last about one year. The box comes with two keys that can be used to override the keypad in case of dead batteries or forgotten pass code. You cannot see the key hole in the picture because it is covered by a piece of plastic to make it blend in next to the keypad.
