8 Reasons You Need A Touchscreen Deadbolt

You may remember that back in September we had an attempted break-in while I was home. It was a really odd situation and thankfully nothing was taken or damaged.

Yale Real Living Touchscreen

Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt received.

It did scare me though and ever since I’ve been researching the best of the best in home security options. That’s why I was excited about the Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt.

This deadbolt is impressive and has many great features. Here are five of my favorites.

Touchscreen Deadbolt

1. No Cylinder Means No Lockpicking

I was interested to learn that this touchscreen deadbolt provides an increase in security because the cylinder is the most vulnerable part of a lock and the Yale Real Living Touchscreen Deadbolt doesn’t have one. Having no cylinder gives the lock a clean appearance and it means that lock picking and bumping are nearly impossible. The robust construction also protects the lock from abuse and makes it resistant to tampering.

2. User Pin Code

With the network module you can program up to 250 user pin codes and 25 without. This is wonderful because if you can allow someone temporary access (a dog sitter etc) and then delete the pin code later.

3. Automatic Re-Locking

After you enter your code the lock and the deadbolt unlocks, it will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds. This re-locking time can be adjusted between 10-240 seconds.

4. Wrong Code Entry Limit

After a specified number of wrong pin codes being entered the unit will shut down and not allow operation. The amount is adjustable from one to ten times.

5. Tamper Alert

An audible alarm will sound if there is an attempt to remove the outside lock from the door.

6. Trendy & Stylish Design

This deadbolt has a trendy, hi-tech design that comes in a number of finishes to match your home: polished brass, satin nickel, and oil rubbed bronze. You can also purchase a matching handle.

7. Illuminated Touchscreen

This is a great feature for nighttime use. It makes entering your pin code even on the darkest of nights simple.

8. Modern Day Convenience

The keyless entry touchscreen is so convenient to use that I don’t know how we got by before without it. Imagine arriving to your door with your arms full of groceries and having to find a free hand to dig into the depths of your purse or pocket to find your keys and then fumble to unlock the door. With this unit those days are gone. Just punch in your code, open the door, walk inside. So much easier!

Yale Real Living Touchscreen Deadbolt ReviewWe love the Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt and recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a new lock for their home. It’s made for use on all standard interior and exterior doors and even has a tapered bolt which accommodates misaligned doors. It’s a fantastic product and the added sense of security and convenience it’s provided has encouraged us to purchase a second for our other exterior door.

    I love the fact that you can input your special code and not have to reach (or find) your keys. It seems so convenient.

  15. ellen beck says

    I like how at night you could see it because it lights up. I fumble with keys this would be nice!

  29. Vicki D. says

    No cylinder means no lock picking. This is great! This is truly a great sense of security.

  30. Melinda Howell says

    I love the re locking!! You would be able to feel safe at all times! Love where technology is taking us!

  32. Kobi Hensley says

    No more fumbling with keys in the dark and trying to align the key with the keyhole, especially when you have lots of items in your hands. No finding keys in my purse anymore :)

  33. amanda whiltey says

    obviously i like that you dont need a key but i also like the Automatic Re-Locking

  45. Stephanie Galbraith says

    I like that you can use a code, so if you lose your key, you aren’t locked out.

  46. Angela Ash says

    My favorite feature of the Yale Real Living Key Free Touchscreen Deadbolt is that it works with a variety of home security systems.

  48. virgil poore says

    i love the NO KEYS!! me and the wife seem to have hard time keep ing up with all our keys! we have a box we put them in but we have so many but never find right ones at times lol so this one would be handy

  49. Carolyn Daley says

    My favorite feature is the automatic re-locking so you never have to worry about locking your door when you enter or leave your home.

  50. Heather! says

    Up to 250 pin codes?? That is really wonderful! Great security feature for those times a neighbor needs to check on our dog or something. I love that you can delete them after they’ve been used.

  56. Evelyn Driver says

    I like how pretty it is. It won’t take away from the front door that took me 2 months to pick out.

  69. Sarah jau says

    I like how it lets you have so many pin codes, which is useful for temporary access for someone you allow in your house.

  71. Joshua Johnson says

    I like the fact that if a code is entered incorrectly from 1-10 times the system will lock itself up.

  73. alona y says

    I like how it lets you have so many pin codes, which is useful for temporary access for someone you allow in your house.

  76. Danielle says

    After you enter your code the lock and the deadbolt unlocks, it will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds.

  77. tina reynolds says

    two things no keys always loose mine and the auto relocking feature often forget to lock the darn door

  81. Mary Withrow says

    I locked myself out of our home, I had two locksmiths at our home trying every door. They could open none of them. I had to call my brother of whom lived a state away or break a window. This would be so fantastic! I would not have to worry about the children carrying keys or me loosing mine!

  85. Jasmin Q. says

    I love the fact that it is keyless. I always am having trouble with my keys or losing them

  86. Katherine Donovan says

    I love that the lock is keyless! I have locked myself out of my house a couple of times……not fun

  92. Brian says

    A touchscreen version of original is fantastic, it’s more likely to be used by tech savvy the kids, who lose keys all the time.

  93. Birdiebee says

    I love the fact that it is keyless. I always am having trouble with my keys or losing them. This would be perfect.

  94. Alecia says

    I live in the country so I usually forget to lock the door. I like that you can lock up your house using your smartphone if you forget.

  103. karen says

    I like the auto-relock feature. I’m always checking the doors at night before I go to bed.

  104. laura ari says

    I love that you don’t need a key! I wouldn’t have to worry about my kids losing their keys!

  106. kim says

    I like the Tamper Alert – An audible alarm will sound if there is an attempt to remove the outside lock from the door. That is a great feature

  110. Brigid OHara Koshko says

    Love several features include its tamper resistant (can’t try to remove it), the illuminated (so I can see at night,) and with kids coming home from school at different times my family doesn’t have to worry about keys.

  112. Christine says

    I like that no key is necessary. I’m always losing my keys so that’s one less thing to worry about. Also, I can give the code to someone to let them in when I’m not home.

  117. Jeffrey says

    I like the convenience of the lock, don’t have to worry about being locked out of the house. It’s also nice that there is no way that the lock can be picked.

  118. maria s says

    The user pin code! If someone is coming over watching our animals while we’re away on vacation this would allow them access– when we want it!

  121. Kathy Luman says

    I like that you don’t have to use a key. This would be great since my son can’t seem to keep a key.

  123. Karen Lynch says

    I like that you can set number of wrong tries, the lock can’t be picked because it doesn’t have a cylinder, also you can temporary codes as needed.

  126. Judy Cox says

    There are so many good safety features on this deadlock. The one I really like is that is has a light with it. You surely do not need to be feeling around in the dark to open your door.

  135. Tyler O'Leary says

    I love that you dont need to stand and fumble around with all of the keys on your key ring, you can just type in a code.

  142. Becky G says

    Very interesting product. It’s something I think my husband would like. Especially the tamper alert! :)

    Thanks for sharing, Tésa!

  144. Debra Pauley says

    you enter your code the lock and the deadbolt unlocks, it will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds. This re-locking time can be adjusted between 10-240 seconds.

  147. Michelle S says

    I like that it is almost impossible to tamper with or pick the lock. I was just talking with my husband last week about our front door lock and that fact that I think it’s not good enough. I am going to explore this one further – this may be a good fit for our needs.

  153. Jane (EJ) says

    I love this concept, cutting edge technology is really helping my son. He has contact allergic reactions to metal, standard keys cause Excema break out. This touch screen would change his life .

  156. Anastasia says

    I love not having to use a key! And the illuminated touchscreen, because it wll be easier for me to see :)

  160. Janice F. says

    It would be nice to be able to touch key in a code to open the door (and not have to fish for my keys). It would be convenient.

  168. Sandra VanHoey says

    I like that it is illuminated and it makes it easier to get into the house without fumbling with keys

  174. Wendi S says

    I really like the User Pin. It would be great for keeping our son with autism indoors.

  176. Jaque R. says

    My favorite feature is the Wrong Code Entry Limit…it makes this lock so much more secure. :-) Thank you.

  178. Cheryl B. says

    My favorite feature is that it is keyless…I love knowing I can get into my home without a key.

  179. Margaret Smith says

    Love the Illuminated touchscreen. So often, I have problems finding the key, hole, etc. at night. This would really come in handy.
    Love the idea of the touchscreen too.

  180. David says

    I like the tamper alert alarm. One sure way to scare away an intruder is with an alarm.

  181. Ellie W says

    I like that after you enter your code the lock and the deadbolt unlocks, it will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds.
