CODACE 100% Mechanical Keyless Entry Door Lock with Keypad Door Knob

This was a great option for my city-property gates. Because of the way my gates were built, I had to have a carpenter do some cutting out of the back-stop and shimming to get them installed and aligned properly. They work great. I left the presser bar latch on the gates, so you have to also release that after turning the latch. The latch does not spring close, so you can do one, then the other and open the gate with one hand. You can flip-close the latch from either side and once you do that it re-sets the need to enter the code. When the latch is open it will stay open if you want to keep it unlocked also. My tenants and gardener love these easy-access, easy-to-flip latches because they are reliable and don't need electricity/batteries or key for a pin-coded gate system. For them, it's security that's no-hassle. We've been using them for about 6 months now, through cold, rain, etc. They feel very sturdy and the bolt/throw looks like steel, so I don't expect it to rust.

Thanks to our current society with lurking vagrants (thanks politicians!) I purchased two for my two alley gates. Installation went well. My width was 2 ¼ inches and the hardware provided worked great. Really like the idea of the mechanical operation and no batteries to worry about. One of the mechanisms did not work! Rather than return it, I dug into it and found that one of the locking cams was installed backwards. I did make my own “Latch Buckles” out of aluminum because the ones provided just seem too wimpy. This is no Fort Knox lock, but they should help deter the continual California tramps looking for crime.

We got this lock after some confusion with a new fence, and inability to install a deadbolt. Anyway, overall installation is pretty simple - 3 holes and some screws, thats it and you have a secure gate lock, with a keypad entry. Looks great, would recommend.

The lock has 2 spindles furnished and no mention of their purpose. Do you use both spindles or ONE? I have installed many locks on doors and this installation is a problem or return. So much movement in the spindles if you use only 1 spindles connecting the key pad to the inner turn knob. If you use the 2 spindles, then you fit the key pad hole but the inner knob will only accept one of the spindles. Why aren't both the key pad and inner knob have the SAME dimensions for the spindle hole? The keypad side will accept 2 spindles but the inner knob side will only accept ONE SPINDLE??? I have installed many locksets before with a square spindles on both sides of the door.....this lockset is different and will accept 2 spindles on the key side and only ONE SPINDLE ON THE INNER KNOB SIDE.....Terrible instructions and design. The combination doesn't have to be sequential meaning if your combination is 1234, as long as 1234 is pressed in any order the lock will open. What happens when the numbers wear on the keypad....pressing the worn 4 numbers will open the keypad in any order. I WILL BE RETURNING THIS LOCKSET TO AMAZON......CHINESE GARBAGE and lousy instructions and design.

I bought two of these for our gates and we've had these now for half a year. I love that the mechanisms work smoothly after some weathering. Appearance stays clean. They don't require batteries. A couple of things to keep in mind: (1) The lock is mechanical, so you are selecting numbers not in any particular order, so the number of combinations is very low. This is minimal security, not designed to stop a professional. Second, when cutting the hole for a gate, keep in mind that the gate will sag over time, so best to bias the hole upward. I've had to adjust the gate hinge screw holes to offset the sag, but it seems to have settled now.

Keypad seems to work good, but bolt, which is long enough, has relatively short throw meaning engagement is not much. Wind flexing gate can work back the bolt, releasing lock. Longer throw would be an improvement.

On the web, it looks like just what I wanted - a keypad gate door lock that wouldn't require either power or a key. Unfortunately, the unit sent me was accompanied with poor instructions with product sketches that didn't match the product sent me, was missing some parts and had no instructions anywhere how to contact the manufacturer to get the missing parts. Instead of a short Sunday afternoon project, this would take much longer to complete, including hassle of obtaining missing parts. Will return.

I wanted a keyless lock (one that could not be BUMPED to open). I consider that my expectations on my security are among the highest I know among my friends and colleagues. So having a lock that will not fail, and will provide me what it says it will is CRUCIALLY important. This Codace Lock, compared to its rival Lockey Lock is MUCH more sturdy, much more weighted for solidness, and WORKS compared to my continued FAILURES with Lockey M series. It has now been on my gate in all sorts of bad weather (rain, freeze) and still solidly performs. What can you give for a lock like that! Thank you Codace, for the lock that performs when It MUST the way it MUST!!. 5 stars out of 5, plus 1 for being above the stardom required!!!

Good quality and robust

Très pratique lorsqu’on a un chien qui sait ouvrir les portes de la maison même si la clanche était posée en verticale. Ses grosses pattes ne pourront jamais faire le code ! Facile à poser.

Bon produit robuste et aussi facile à programmer qu'à installer. Comme tout produit à installer soi-même, il faut prendre le temps de bien lire les directives et bien mesurer, surtout là où percer. De là, tout est simple. Une tige et deux vis et le tour est joué. Comme le verrou est de type mécanique, on ne peut pas coder des séquences répétitives mais ça, c'est sans conséquence. Le loquet glisse très bien dans l'anse et le bouton est facile à tourner et de taille appropriée pour les petites mains.

Compré la cerradura y vino defectuosa. Me enviaron una nueva enseguida. Fantástico producto y sobretodo fantástica atención postventa.

This it is bang on the money for what I was looking for. I wanted something to add additional security to my garden gate without going too fort knox. This has been standing up to the awful weather really well so far, and looks really good. It is easy to use, responsive and feel like a quality product. I was quite expensive you you can feel from the weight of it that is is going to be really strong and difficult to get past. Fitting is a bit of a pain and if you are not used to this type of thing, plan it out well before you start, to make sure it works well for you.
