This is a very strong and sturdy lock. It has a key backup so if it runs out of battery power you can still get the door open. It was a bit tricky to install, mainly because the instructions are printed on both sides of the folded paper they are printed on, and I missed the first couple of steps to extend the lock mechanism if it was not fitting. Once I saw that it was fairly straightforward to get the lock installed. It is pretty easy to program a code into the lock to allow it to open.
It is not totally electronic in that you have to punch in a code and then physically turn the deadbolt knob on the outside to get the bolt to move. So, if you are looking for a good semi-electronic lock, but are uneasy about going to a wireless lock, this is a good option.
