Has anyone had experience with keypad entry door knobs? Wondering
whether the electronics are reliable and hold up over time or whether
you end up using the keys after a while. If I were to use one it
would be sheltered somewhat from weather by a five foot porch roof
overhang.

Thanks.

I have only one and it is used an a once a week or so basis for about 15
years now.

Our First Aid building has them and has had no problems for the past 15
years or so.

There are two types. One purely mechanical and the other battery
powered. The battery types support multiple entry codes, which is
handy for setting a temporary code for cleaners, service people,
relatives, etc.

I had a battery type for 10 years or so on my previous house with no
issues at all. I made sure to change the batteries every year when I
changed the smoke detector batteries. The one I had (sorry, I don't
remember brand) can also be opened with a key from the outside, and a
knob from the inside. I plan to put one on my new house, when I get a
round to it.

It's very convenient.

HTH,

Paul
