Door Lock - keyless deadbolt, keyless

Visit Store Now !!

Let me say first off, I've been a Realtor and owner of my own real estate company for 25-years. I know quality and I see new, neat, high-end products on a daily basis. I've opened 1000's of doors, locks and deadbolts over the past 25-years.



Well, I was at the Ft. Lauderdale Home Show this Memorial day weekend. I go every year, and usually find at least one neat, cool item at the show that's a "must have" for the home and buy it or order it if its not available at the show. Well, the Sunnect AP501SN easily fit the bill this year.



So I bought two Sunnect AP501SN Advanced Protection Digital Deadbolt Locks, one for my front door and one of the door leading into the house from the garage. I installed one of them today.



These are heavy, well made, well constructed, nice looking top-shelf deadbolt locks. The quality, fit and finish is second to none.



It was real easy to install where my original existing deadbolt was located, the directions and photos were well written and easy to follow.



What is even more impressive is the technology that went in to designing and building these deadbolts. The Sunnect AP501SN is by far superior to Schlage, Quickset or anything else on the market.

These are the finest digital keypad deadbolts on the market at any price.



Its got a ton of neat features, including the autolock feature, which automatically locks the door after 3-seconds of closing it. Wow, never forget to lock your door, its automatic, unless you don't want to activate this feature, no problem, you can.



The two included access keys (and you don't need to use them)are 21st Century technology. No key hole, therefore no getting key bumped by the bad guys.



The unit has blue/red colored lights and musical tones/sounds that easily communicate with you so you know by both sight and sound how to program the deadbolt for your personal and individual needs and the status of your lock after you complete the install.



This is a 5-star product, and deserving for any homeowner, apartment owner, property manager, as its been approved by this Realtor. Sunnect AP501SN Advanced Protection Digital Deadbolt Lock, Satin Nickel

This is it. Top of the line. There's nowhere to go after this. Impeccable fit and finish. Good looking, sturdy, easy to use, easy to install. Now that I have them in my own home, I can say that the product videos are very accurate representations of what to expect. Watch them. It really is that easy and convenient. The written manual is of similar quality, and clearly explains all the features. My wife was a little concerned about the potential for getting locked out of her house by a crashing computer, but after reading the manual and using them for only a day, she's very comfortable with them. The manual latch on the inside and the 9V terminal on the outside ensure you'll always be able to get in or out. They are a little expensive, but easily pay for themselves the first time you lose a key and DON'T have to call a locksmith. Not to mention the value that comes from knowing they're un-bumpable, and the convenience of being able to hand out temporary codes and keys to house guests, pet sitters, etc.



I will mention one minor snag with installation: the included magnetic strike plates were not the same size as any of the existing strike plates on the doors in my 20-year-old home. (The bolt and bolt plates fit perfectly.) I don't know if things have been standardized since then, or if my builder just didn't follow standards. Some were too large, some too small. Without the magnet, the deadbolts still work, but the more advanced features like auto-lock and alarm are disabled. Fortunately, it is just a magnetic sensor, so simply attaching a tiny neodymium magnet (available online, from hobby stores, or even out of an old hard drive) on the bottom lip of your existing strike plates activates those features without requiring any modifications to the door frame. I just happened to have a bunch of neodymium magnets in my parts box, but if Sunnect had included several sizes of plate, or a neodymium retrofit right in the box, I'd have given them 6 stars for going above and beyond. As is, I'll have to knock them down to "only" 5.



Bottom line, this is as good as it gets, and if you're already interested enough to be reading this, you should probably just click the order button now.

The Good

-Great security

-Easy to use and program entry codes and register keys

-Sleek design and looks just as good in person

-Long battery life, option to hookup 9V if runs out

-Installation was easy with existing door cutouts.



The Bad

-Priced a little high, but well worth the investment.

I first went to Lowes and Home Depot looking for a Deadbolt for my home. I have a 3 and 2 year old children. Babysitter, Maid, and friends are always coming and going and so I was always forgetting to lock the door. One time I found my two children outside since the door wasn't locked and I was busy with my 3 month old. Having such young children makes this household very, very, very busy! After the initial shock of my children being outside, I decided to change the lock. I first bought a lock from Homedepot but it didn't have autolock which was what I was really looking for. They did have one that did but the buttons and lock looked so cheap that I decided to pass. I installed their most expensive one which was around $120 but after two days I decided to order this lock from amazon. As soon as I received it, I could tell a huge difference in locks. This one was a lot heavier and seem more secure than the other lock. It did take me a bit of time to install it because the deadbolt was a different size than my existing one but I love it. On the door jamb side is a magnetic part which knows when the door is closed and auto locks the door for me. It looks ten times better than the home depot one. The only issue I have is that there is only one programable code for the lock. I think. The other was able to handle 20 different codes but I guess it is no big deal for me. I wouldn't be able to tell who opened the door anyway like my alarm company does when I use a code. If I didn't have the alarm, it would be a different story but overall I do love this lock. - Deadbolt - Keyless - Keyless Deadbolt - Keyless Entry'

I use a very lightweight alcohol stove when I'm backpacking, which uses denatured ethanol. One of the problems with that fuel is that it has a low vapor pressure at low temperatures. So the stove is really hard to light, especially in the mornings way up in the mountains.



I'd previously bought a Soto Pocket Torch, but that thing stopped working really soon. But while it was still working, it was so much nicer to instantly light my little stove with its very hot blue flame that I hunted around and found this.



So far I've only taken it on one forty-miler into Yosemite, but it worked beautifully. Wall Lenk LMJ280 Turbo-Lite Torch - Mini Torch'

Saw this at Facets in Chicago last night, and it was amazing. It's one of those movies that I want to show to all my friends.



Fair warning, DON'T WATCH THE US TRAILER. They should fire whoever was responsible for that. This is a CGI action movie the same way "This is Spinal Tap" is a 90-minute live recorded performance by U2. That is to say, it's not. 90% of Big Man Japan is shot in a documentary style and it has a hilarious "slow burn" style of humor that is just not evident from the trailer. If you're expecting slapstick and big monster fights, you'll get some of that but it's not what the movie is all about. It's very Christopher-Guest-ish, so think "Waiting for Guffman" or "Best in Show" (or again, "This is Spinal Tap").



I probably laughed harder at the ending to this movie than I did at anything all year, and I feel sorry for the people who didn't "get" it. Do yourselves a favor and watch some old tokusatsu like Ultraman or Spectreman before you see this. That is the genre that this movie is spoofing, so you should at the very least have a LITTLE familiarity with it. Beyond that, you don't need to be a huge Japanophile to love this, as the humor is pretty universal. This movie definitely earned its spot in my top 25 favorite comedies. Big Man Japan

If you aren't fairly familiar with modern Japanese comedy then you are probably going to miss a lot of what "Big Man Japan" has to offer. For example, "Downtown" is not a name that is going to mean much to most Americans, but they are a phenomenal comedy-duo that are incredibly influential and whose style dominates much of modern Japanese comedy. Think Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Second City Theatre, or Saturday Night Live.



"Big Man Japan" (Japanese title "Dai-Nipponjin" or "Giant Japanese Person") is "Downtown" member Matsumoto Hitoshi's big screen debut as both a staring actor and a director. Much of the humor is in his trademark style, and he brought along plenty of famous friends for cameos, although noticeably missing is his "Downtown" partner Masatoshi Hamada.



The film is done in a mockumentary-style, following the life of slacker Daisatou Masaru who has inherited his power to grow to an enormous size from his father and his now-senile grandfather, both who previously served as "Big Man Japan." Masaru draws a government salary to protect Japan from the various Godzilla-like monsters that attack from time to time, but his heart isn't really in it. The public mocks him and complains about the property damage and environmental aspects of his battles. His manager sells advertising space on his giant body. Things just aren't going well.



Most of the first part of the film is just following Masaru around, looking in on his daily life, dingy apartment and how he looks after his senile grandfather. When duty calls, however, he swells up to battle the monster-of-the-week (many of whom are the aforementioned cameos of famous friends), sometimes managing to beat the monster away but sometimes getting it handed to him. The final sequence goes to even more left-field, as Big Man Japan gets to live his dream by joining the Ultraman squad, and all pretense of story goes out the window.



All of the monsters are CGI, and they are intentionally done in a cheesy manner. Like the bad special effects on shows like "Saturday Night Live," much of the humor comes from how terrible and unrealistic the special effects are, and from seeing famous comedians morphed into giant versions of themselves. Other than these big flashes, the humor is done in a deadpan-style, and it isn't a fast-paced movie until the final payoff in the end.



I really enjoyed "Big Man Japan," but I think this is because I lived over in Japan for several years and am a huge fan of "Downtown." Like the film Takeshis, which also was cameo-ridden, this just isn't something that was made for the overseas market, and I think if I was seeing it cold then I wouldn't have enjoyed it. Fans of pure absurdity will probably get a kick out of it, and people who enjoy a good man-in-suit giant monster movies like The Super Robot Red Baron and All Monsters Attack might find something good here too. Otherwise, it is probably going to be a snoozer for you.

As other reviewers here have stated, this is largely a satire on certain genres of Japanese film, and it helps to know those references. But even as one who's seen a pretty small amount of Japanese film (except Kurosawa, a true genius), I still found it slyly funny during the many slow character-driven parts, and incredibly stupidly hilarious during the fight scenes.



Even if you get bored with the satire of the superhero's daily life (it is indeed very dry wit and meant for those with enough intellect to not demand a new fight every two minues), simply fast forward to the half dozen fight scenes, which are among the most insanely goofy visual weirdness I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty. They mock the monster genre while simultaneously glorying in the splendid silliness of the whole concept. Plus, the monsters are some of the weirdest creatures you will ever see. Just looking at them is funny, but watching them fight the bored superhero is a whole new type of laugh.



This comedy turns all sorts of ideas on their heads and exposes the idiocy of not only fanboys and cultists but also the selfishness of modern people, whatever culture they're from.



Highly recommended for those with imagination, and those who can laugh at their own preconceptions.

And remember, even if you get bored, make sure to ff to the fight scenes. They get better and better as they go, and the ending is a cracker.

This is Japanese wackiness at its best. Just imagine a mockumentary a la 'This is Spinal Tap' but on the subject of monster (kaiju) movies... and of course with a heaping spoonful of utterly unique and odd humor that Japan does best. If you're not into Japanese humor and offbeat stuff, you probably shouldn't even consider renting this, trust me you'll just sit there nodding your head while whispering 'wtf' to yourself. However if you're accustomed to more experimental Japanese films then you're probably a little more primed for what to expect. We follow a thirty something solitary guy who lives alone and just happens to defend Japan from an odd assortment of giant monsters. That's probably all I should say, getting too much more into it would be utterly confusing to articulate.



I absolutely love movies like this, mostly because seeing films play it safe gets old fast... having something jump in there and just be totally 100% unique is such a great breath of fresh air. Also, the cool thing is that even though this movie is wacky and off beat it still seems meaningful at times, and underneath all of the goofiness there is still plenty of meaningful symbolism to be found. If you do decide to watch this, just wait till the last twenty minutes or so... as it's one of the weirdest and funniest endings ever. This one gets a 4.25/5 stars. Adventurous and open minded viewers only. - Martial Arts - Drama - War Epics - Adventure'

Works well. OEM part and a fair price. :)

Fits very snugly into car outlet and make sure that you push it in all the way or proper connection will not be made. Likewise, one has to exert some strength to remove adapter from socket. However, does indeed provide full power to Garmin on long trips.

The Garmin StreetPilot C550 already comes with a vehicle power charger. I did not know that when I purchased this one. Don't buy an additional one unless you feel the need for two of them! The one it came with works just fine, so I'll be returning this one.

This is a replacement for my Garmin Nuvi 680. I losted my vehicle DC power adapter with MSN direct receiver. I don't want to spend more money therefore I ordered this one. Even though it's didn't have MSN direct but it does the job to power my 680. - Garmin Accessories - Garmin Nuvi - Garmin 660 - Garmin Nuvi 660'

I have a dell inspiron 14, and the cover is a little snug. It's working well though and now I can carry my laptop in my school backpack rather than carry a separate laptop bag. I'd recommend this product, just do a bunch of research to make sure it will fit. 14 inch Café in Paris Silver Gray Netbook Notebook Laptop Sleeve Bag Carrying Case for Apple, Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Sony, Toshiba

This was bought for our teen daughter for Christmas,the only negative things about it are 1.no strap 2.no pockets,other than that it is great,but in all fairness i knew both things about it when ordered,it came in very fast,was just as described,great item for the price.

It came 2 days after I bought it. The gray is actually darker than in that picture but it's acceptable and the design is gorgeous. At first, I thought it was slightly short for my laptop but it fits my DELL STUDIO 14" perfectly. It's light and easy to carry around. I love it!

I BOUGHT IT FOR MY ACER 14', IT IS A LITTLE BIT TIGHT, BUT THE WORST WAS IT HAS HEAVY RUBBER SMELL, WHEN I LEAVE THE CASE IN MY ROOM, THE RUBBER SMELL WAS FILLED WITH THE AIR EVERYWHERE OF MY ROOM, MADE ME SICK. DON'T BUY IT.

I loved the look of this case but unfortunately it smelled so awful when it arrived...and I tried everything to get rid of that bad rubber smell...to no avail....I had to finally throw it out!....I was very sad. - Notebook Bag - Laptop Case - Laptop Bag - Notebook Case'

I LIVE in these long nursing tanks by Gilligan & O'Malley! I bought 3 (in different colors - including this black one)...I wish I would have known how wonderful they would be, I would have stocked up before baby came. I wear them day & night, by itself or under other tops. They act as a bra & a shirt, they're longer than other tanks, so they just look much better and don't ride up. Easy access for breastfeeding, and very comfortable!! I can't say enough good things about them. I have 3, but I want MORE!! Gilligan & O'Malley® Womens Side Sling Nursing Tank - Black S'

Screen Protectors

These screen protectors definitely fall into the 'you get what you pay for' category.



Strike 1:



The screen protectors are *not* precisely cut. After several re-applications to ensure I was installing it correctly, there's still a micro-seam on one side that 'overhangs' the screen. Thinking I had a dud, I tried screen protector #2 from the 3-pack, only to find it worse than the first. This overhang creates an inability for the screen protector to properly seal - leaving a vertical stripe of non-seated protector film down the face of the iPhone 4.



Strike 2:



After scuttling #1 & #2 screen protectors, I tried #3. This one fit the best of the bunch, but was still clearly ill-cut. However, it had some surface bloom patterns (not air bubbles beneath the surface, but actual blotches of discoloration) that wouldn't wipe away - they're 'in' the plastic film. Sigh.



Strike 3:



No cutout for the front-facing camera. While I don't have any plans of using the FaceTime feature anytime soon, its omission from the design scheme, as well as the poor engineering noted above, makes it abundantly clear that quality control wasn't a priority (or consideration) in far-flung China.



Save yourself a few clams and skip these, fellow iPhone 4 owners. Wait for the Otterbox cases. Fosmon Transparent Clear Screen Protector for iPhone 4 4G HD with Lint Cleaning Cloth - 3 Pack

This film is not cut to the size that it need to be. It is the correct size of the iPhone 4 screen but the manufacturer clearly did not test it on the real iPhone 4. The film is maybe 0.5mm too big and the microscopic plastic layer on the edges does not allow for it to touch the glass on the edges. Hard to explain, but it looks great all around, except the round edges where it's not touching the glass.

To manufacturer:

1. Keep the packaging

2. Keep the same price

3. Remeasure the GLASS surface, not the overall front surface, because that plastic band screw things up for cover.



Then it will be great.

I felt compelled to review after seeing so many 1-star reviews for this product.



This thing fits the iPhone 4 perfectly. Maybe some of these other reviewers were applying it on an older model. The quality is definitely higher than that of the generic ones you see for $1-2 shipped from Hong Kong. The second peel off skin is usually the same on both sides of China made LCD protectors (which lifts the freshly applied skin off and allows dust in or bubbles to form) but this one has the very thin film as the second coating which is easy to remove and boasts it's overall superior material construction.



I have no idea what an earlier reviewer was talking about when he said the surface is uneven.. maybe he got a different order or his was subjected to heat. This is a great deal on amazon. Screen protectors are annoyingly difficult to apply, in general, and justifiably receive low reviews, but bashing this particular product for being low quality is unwarranted. For the extremely low price, the quality is paramount. I got mine on with just one tiny speck of trapped dust, on the second try, and that's fine for me.



Always remember to buy more than 1 screen protector because it's hard to do correctly the first (or even second) time!

I have used this brand of product before, and was very pleased with them. Installation is very easy, and the finished product looks very clean and sharp. The new display looks great. The reason that I gave this product a poor rating is that they did not make a cut out for the front facing camera. The film goes right over top of the camera hole. I doubt that Face Time will look very good now.

Some of the reviews say it wasn't cut right. I didn't have that problem. However:



-The material itself was a bit dinged/scratched up already.

-They attached little white tabs to help you remove and apply the film, but they used cheap glue which leaves that awful residue you can't seem to get off (I had to use paint remover and it still wouldn't come off).

-The cut doesn't go all the way to the edge so it tends to lift off if you are using a case



... Don't buy it!! Amazon you should delist these guys.

Ok, the product cost me $.78 for 5 protectors and was sent in a envelope with a $.44 first class stamp, meaning somewhere in that $.34 difference there was production cost and profit. Go figure. After a month, I'm still on my first protector with no signs of wear.'
