My condo complex is about finished installing keyless locks on all the outside entrances. Two have already failed. They have a battery pack which is supposed to last for five years. I am just skeptical of making things needlessly complicated. A lock can eventually fail but it is easier to have a locksmith open and is cheaper to replace. They tell us to not get rid of our regular gate keys which means I have to carry another item on my key chain too- the system uses a fob you touch or get close enough to the lock to make it work- no button like a garage door opener and the fob does not need a battery. They are easy to use.
