  • peter296 on 10/09/2015 - 19:05

    Have a search for Arctek touch bolt, there are a couple of install videos and some reviews. I don't like the fact it doesn't have a double deadlock. If they manage to break in then they can just open the door to carry stuff out.

    • CyberMurning on 10/09/2015 - 19:18

      You mean we also need to enter key pass to open door from inside?

      • c0balt on 10/09/2015 - 19:24
        +37

        That's the opposite of what he said. This lock is a single deadbolt and he wants a double deadbolt.

        Double deadlocks are dangerous and should be illegal. Basically if your house goes up in smoke you don't have time to fumble around for a key to open the front door to safety. Also guests may stay in your house at some point (or maybe a baby sitter) and you just killed your guests and or children because you wanted your front door to open with a key from the inside as well as the outside.

        Things are just things, lives are more important that making it slightly more inconvenient for a burglar to remove items from your house AFTER he has gained entry.

        • tezza on 10/09/2015 - 19:30
          +6

          IMHO deadlocking the door from the inside should only be used when no one is inside the house, to prevent thieves from just waking out the door if they gain entry via other points. I agree that it should not be used for when there are people inside the house

        • c0balt on 10/09/2015 - 19:37
          +8

          @tezza:

          The thing is with double deadbolts you don't get that choice. If it's locked then it will require a key to unlock from the inside or the outside.

          They are death traps. Letting a burglar walk out the front door if he has already got into your house from the window is a tiny price to pay not being responsible for a possible death in your home of a friend, guest, or family member.

          And in the event of a house break in while someone's home you're attempting to force a physical confrontation with the invader. Essentially trying to trap them in the house so they can either do more damage to get out or fight whoever shows up. Be that you, a burly 6'4" street fighter or your 13 year old daughter.

          Leaving an avenue of escape for a home invader is generally the safer option.

          I agree that there is a risk but when my wife is at home and tied up with our 9 month old, the last thing she needs is my 3 year old running off outside as she can open the doors if not key locked.

        • tezza on 10/09/2015 - 19:55

          @c0balt: Yep gotcha and I agree. I'd be leaving the key on the inside if I had a lock like that. I was more referring to say the Lockwood dead latches where you can use the key to deadlock the door or leave it free so it can be opened from the inside from just turning the knob.

      Inside pretty much all lock packs, they have paper templates mate. It's foolproof, provided you can use a tape measure and drill with a wood hole attachment.

      The trick with them is steady as she goes… dont push too hard and let the drill bit do its job. For a neater finish, drill through until the center bit pokes through the other side, then finish the hole from the other side. This prevents the wood splintering as you finish the hole and looking untidy.

    I have the lockwood one at bunnings and it works great. Never had any issues and lets you know well in advance when the battery is dieing.

    Can't comment on arctek though. Honestly, I would be hesitant on a cheaper brand. Just because if you forget your key and it dies you are out of luck. Obviously this is the case with a normal lock but you get in the habit of not bringing your keys out, especially on nights out, going for runs, errands etc etc.

    The lockwood one fits a normal sized door and didn't require any modifications.

      All the requirements I've read are for a deadlatch or deadbolt, which this is. The 'dead' part simply means you can't push the bolt or latch back in, unless you use the key or knob.

      There are risks with everything. Biometric locks have a very high false positive rate. Touch screens show smudges. Bluetooth is a risk if you lose your phone (especially if it has your home address in it). Keys can be lost/are easy to bump.

      In the end, a rock through the window gets into most houses, and a pry bar gets into almost all.

      • eug on 11/09/2015 - 16:43

          +1

          I'm not really sure on current rates, but the problem is that it's a cumulative probability. That is, you might have a 1% False Acceptance Rate [which sounds low but is probably high by current standards] but if you have 10 people programmed into the device and 1% FAR then you have about a 43% chance of false acceptance [by my calculations]. This is why you should always have a more than one factor if you actually want security [eg an identifier and a password]. Most secure computer systems now use three factors: your username [who you are], your password [what you know] and your security token [what you have].

          Digital locks typically lock you out for 5-10 minutes after 3 incorrect attempts. A burglar would probably just break a window instead. :)

    Another problem in your house you have to worry about.

  • try2bhelpful on 11/09/2015 - 13:20

    We have a Samsung version of this, without the key entry. The Samsung also lets you setup keycard entry, including MYKI cards. We have a entry vestibule so we have a lock for the gate and then the key entry on the front door. We find it works really well and it meant we didn't need to get concerned when the cleaner left, we just removed her code. Now that we have had experience with this we will probably get a new lock with the physical key as well and then move the current lock into the connection between the garage and the house. Personally I would look for one with key card access as well, it helps when you have a brain fade on your PIN. If the battery goes flat the Samsung has a couple of connectors you can put a D-cell battery against, my main reason for looking at the key entry as well is I'm concerned if the lock fails completely.

      Doesn't the mechanical key in this lock eliminate the need for using a card as a backup?

        I had a cleaner, we don't anymore. I only want the key in case the lock breaks down so I can get into it manually.
