SmartLocks - any experience?

Hi guys,

Browsing around on the web and came across this product:

http://www.kwikset.com/Electronics/Homeowners/RemoteAccess.aspx

Basically allows for keyless/keyed entry with unique codes and remote access. Assuming installation wouldn't be straight forward however - and havnt seen anyone offer something like the above locally.

Has anyone got something similar or know of any local locksmiths that would offer something similarish? Similarish meaning keyless entry with facility for unique codes that only operate at certain times of the day, with keyed failover in case of something going wrong.

Saw some info in another thread, so one product which looked similar:

Which one locksmith seems to reference:

http://www.locksstockandbarrels.ie/index.php/about/the-brands-we-trust - (website leaves a lot to be desired)

Interestingly for the kwikset - you can get it through amazon:

But i've no idea how that would work with home insurance - if self installation of something like this would create problems (the installation looks simple enough). All of the above seem to offer the standard keycode entry options - but lack the ability to do one-off or repeating codes which are time dependent, which was a major draw.

Anyways if anyone has used any of these products or knows locksmiths who do - would be interested to hear experiences.
