New keypad lock installed on a home near Interlachen Park in Hopkins MN
Right near Interlachen Park in Hopkins MN, we helped a homeowner upgrade their front door security with a new keypad lock. This home sits in a quiet residential area not far from Excelsior Blvd and the walking trails around the park.
The photos show the new Schlage keypad deadbolt with a matching handle set, replacing the older hardware that was starting to not function well. A lot of homes in Hopkins built in the 80s and 90s still have original locks, so this type of upgrade is very common for us in this area.
The Schlage keypad lock we installed is one of the most reliable residential keypad deadbolts we work with. People in the Twin Cities like keypad locks because you don’t need to carry keys when walking the dog, shoveling snow, or letting kids in after school. We set up custom entry codes for the homeowner and tested the lock so the deadbolt moves smooth even during Minnesota winter door swelling.

Many people call and ask us if keypad locks are safe compared to regular deadbolts. The truth is a quality brand like Schlage or Yale still uses a solid grade deadbolt mechanism inside. The keypad only replaces the key action, not the core security. When installed right with proper door prep like you see in the photos, a keypad lock is just as secure and often more practical for daily use.
