The Combo to Your Heart

Dedicated E-mail: Schlage

Between decorators, maids, and handymen, you’ve passed around so many spare keys your house could double as a hostel.

Ditch the old-fashioned method and simplify home access with the new line of Schlage Electronic Keypad Locks. You can set up to nineteen different four-digit codes, so everyone from Grandma to the housekeeper can enter your abode without having to lug around keys (which is especially helpful for forgetful children and, um, forgetful you).

The locks also work on interior doors to secure dangerous rooms (like Dad’s workshop) from children or prevent nosy visitors from perusing your top-secret documents.

Best of all, the combinations can be deactivated and easily replaced at any time, so that blowup with the maid over those missing decorative soaps won’t require you to change the locks.

And the timing couldn’t be better: You’ll appreciate the $20 rebate for DailyCandy readers while Dad appreciates his perfect Father’s Day gift.

It’s a lock.
