Win-It Wednesday: Kwikset SmartKey Prize Pack!

by


Have you ever locked two kids in your running car and a third child in the house all at once?

As embarrassed as I am to admit it, my husband and I accidentally did this when we were in the process of building our house. Through a comedy of errors where each of us thought the other had the car and house keys, we found ourselves standing outside of our newly-built home with a 2-year-old and 1-year-old locked in our running SUV, while our 2-month-old infant daughter was locked in her carrier inside the house.

Of course you can imagine the panic that ensued…until one of our new neighbors calmly walked across the street and wedged a credit card into the door frame, popping the lock. Of course I vowed two things right then and there: a) to always use the deadbolt lock and b) we needed to ensure that we were always able to gain access to the house.

Until now we’ve used a PIN pad attached to our garage door to achieve this, leaving our door leading inside in the garage unlocked. Of course had I known that there were such things as the Kwikset SmartKey available before now, we could have solved this in a much simpler and more secure manner!

My husband installed the Kwikset Arlington Handle and SmartKey Keyless Deadbolt in under 20 minutes — all while I was away on a business trip and he was in charge of all five kids. So that tells you just how easy it is!

The handle is so much more attractive than the boring basic doorknob we had previously, and I love the keyless deadbolt. It automatically locks behind you after 30 seconds, and all you have to do to get back in is punch a 4-digit code that you set into the PIN pad. We’re definitely buying a second SmartKey for our door in the garage!

One Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a Kwikset SmartKey prize pack that includes:

  • Your choice of a Arlington handleset, Tustin lever or Juno knob
  • SmartCode Signature Series Keyless Deadbolt

To enter, tell me how you manage your house keys. Do you have multiple keys in case you get locked out? Do your children have keys to the home? Perhaps a neighbor keeps a spare key in case of emergencies.

    I have three key chains. One for work, one for the house, and one for the cars. I just don’t like digging out the house keys when I get home. I wait for someone to ope the door!

    My husband and I always carry separate sets of keys …we have had extras made and plan to give one to a neighbor just for such scenarios !

    I am always having trouble with key management since I got my new car because it is keyless. You know, one of those push starts where you never have to actually take out a key. I am constantly leaving my house key inside the house, or getting to the front door wondering why it just doesnt open. HA! This would be great for me.

    Everyone has a key. We have a garage door keypad, which sometimes has a mind of its own. This lock is nice looking and serves a good purpose!

  8. Melissa

    I locked my kid in the house once and now I keep a spare key in the garage, so it will never happen again.

  11. Melanie

    My mother and father in law live next door and they have a spare key to our house. Which has came in handy a time or two!

  15. Amanda

    Sad to say I only use my garage door opener. My husband has a key and we have a couple of extras at our mom’s houses.

  16. Lori E

    My key is attached to my wallet. My parents and neighbor have copies just in case because I am notorious for locking myself out of the house.

    Manage my keys! That is funny. It always seems like my keys are where I am not. This is why my backdoor is unlocked most of the time. Could really use this item.
