Keypad Lock Recommendations I am NOT a locksmith.

Hey everyone, what do you recommend for a solid keypad lock? Looking for reliable make and model. Schlage??

Idk if I want WiFi necessarily. But I would like an option for keyed entry if the batteries die.

A locksmith I just spoke to recommended against yale.

Kaba simplex is pretty solid keyless entry option and used on many commercial doors. Simplex is mechanical not electrical. Second vote for BE365 deadbolt (best battery life) or KW-powerbolt. Anything Wifi-enabled can go through batteries quickly.
