RE: Electronic deadbolts for doors

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would also give VERY careful consideration to safety. If you have a fire
or other emergency you REALLY need a failsafe means of escape.
One solution to this is to link your deadbolts to a smoke alarm or other
detector, remember though if you use the deadbolts as your only means of
security a false alarm will leave your home wide open!
Sorry to be so negative :-)
