This thing is amazing. I honestly don't know where my front door key is, because I never use it. The motor is very fast, and is done before you try and open the door. Solid build, with features like, built in alarm, temporary or timed access codes, and more. We love the auto lock function, confidence the door is locked. You can also control it through your phone with an Apple TV! Jdub · Build.com
