Ah. I'm going to think about installing one in my front door. I have a deadbolt now, but I like the idea of not having to fumble with a key. I suppose I should have been aware, but the truth is I've never really thought much about different locks. When I had a new front door installed, they put in a deadbolt, and I never gave it a second thought.
