I was replacing an old garage keylock that stopped working. It took probably a good 30 min to pry out the old one. Overall, my installation was probably easier than most, as I didn't have to drill any holes to mount the new keylock. Once the old one was out, I needed to splice the old bellwire to some newer wire in order to feed it through the existing mounting hole. (The kit for the new keylock included bellwire to connect the keylock to the garage opener, but I chose to use the existing wire.) But other than that, installation was straightforward. The Chamberlain model popped into the existing hole. I used the included nails to hammer it into the joist. The new keylock had a smaller faceplate than my old one (and seems a little different than what is shown in the picture), so I'll have to prime and paint the exposed wood. Otherwise, it was an easy 1 hr project.

After having to deal with a garage door that had no remote control anymore and the key to the old lock was missing (we are renters), we finally bought and installed this lock on our own. It works like butter! It has made our life MUCH easier.

Since the garage was already pre-wired, it was easy to install.

The only "complaint" is, that the screws were a bit short and not the safety type, the ones that someone else can't just unscrew again (don't know the official term).So my husband just filed the heads down after the installation to where they can't be unscrewed anymore.

For the price, it was an easy fix to a bothersome problem.

This was a simple installation, and it works fine. I'd have paid a couple extra bucks for four keys instead of two, but I,ll get them cut at Ace Hardware.
