The hardware is solid and excellent. It was easy to install and operates smoothly. The software is challenging’ but their technical support is great. Plan on spending some time getting the software to work.

Tim, McConnelsville, OH –
First of all let me tell you I am not a locksmith and you don’t have to be if you have tools and the skills to install locks in very heavy doors. I bought three (3) Kaba Eplex 5031 keyless locks in January ’10 because we had three (3) 10 year old Corbin Russwin lever locks going bad from extreme daily use in our Data Processing Area. Besides the locks needing continuous repair the keys & lock cylinders needed replaced about every two years because of wear. After I received the new locks I read the manuals that come with the locks and I could readily see the software and the PDA would make installation and maintenance much easier so I ordered that right away. I started installing the first lock and for some unknown reason’ at the time’ I could not get it to work. I called the Kaba-Ilco factory service number and found out what I was doing incorrectly and immediately had it working. I got the first lock fully functional the next day and installed the other two locks the following day including the programming. Now I have full control of these areas with a log for our auditors and examiners. There are people here at the bank that forget or temporarily loose track of their keys which makes access for them almost impossible so going keyless solved a lot of those problems. We use 8 digit codes in this area and as long as no one shares their code with anyone else the system will work flawlessly. I will definitely consider using this type of lock in other parts of our bank and 6 other buildings. GoKeyless made it easy to decide what we needed and the price fit our budget.
