I loved mine but it started eating batteries after a few months. I guess I should try other models.

Do you live somewhere very cold? If so, use lithium batteries. They're significantly more tolerant of low temperatures. Going from akalines to lithiums made a huge difference for us.

I have a kwikset that I change with LSD rechargable AA batteries every 6 months (they last longer, but I don't want to be locked out).
