It fits with no problem. We are using one as a privacy lock on our bedroom door, because the kids are too curious! :)Just require to drill two little holes, but it comes with a template and if you are handy, that should be no trouble.Battery last almost a year for us and still going strong. (Duracell I'm using) If the battery dies there is two other methods to open the lock from outside. It comes with regular Keyes (which you should hide somewhere safe) or there is a connector for a 9V battery on the bottom which will give extra boost for the old batteries inside and let you in as long as your finger is with you!

Yes, as long as the door frame can accommodate the door lock mechanism. Most inside doors are hollow core so some adjustments should be made respectively. Majority of the house entry doors are solid core doors that support this door lock mechanism. The 4-AA batteries last about 6+ months. We love our biometric door lock. It's great.

If you have a deadbolt above you will need ot buy a filler plate. Lowe's carries them for cheap that's what I had to use. The batteries last for about 1-3 months depending on usage. I wired up an old power pack off a linksys router and it runs the lock and charges the batteries 24/7. Email me for more detail on how to wire it up, its very simple!

Yes it will fit a door inside. My batteries lasted great the first 2 months. Now the lock flashes on and off constantly and does not register fingerprints. Back to using a key.

It will work in doorways with a door you just won't be able to close the door all the way when the blank slate is on it. You can just take down the blank slate if you need the door closed, it's not a permanent fixture.

I have installed it in my house front door. We are a four member family, all use it. The Duracell battery lasted about 3 months. We are in India with not very cold winters. You come to know when you have to change the battery, when you use it. I will recommend it.

I guess Adam that would really depend on how much mail you would get. The unit goes off every time the mail box door is opened, then the light on the unit inside the house stays on until you reset it. I have had mine for almost a year and still have not changed the batteries. The first thing I do when I come in the house with the mail is reset the indoor unit so the light goes off and saves on the battery. It has worked great with no problems so far.

I have only had mine for 5 months. I haven't changed the battery yet but I usually close my garage door manually. I do forget to close the door sometimes and Magic Closer has worked flawlessly since installed. That said, it should be no big deal to change the batteries since I used Velcro to attach both units.

As long as you didn't cover the battery door with the velcro in a way that would prevent opening it... It really depends on the light and where you place the Velcro though.

With batteries in place (the big "D" cell batteries), it extends out 2.75 inches from the door.

Ironically I had to replace the battery this week after 2-1/2 years. That was for this unit only. The inside wall chime battery is still working. This has a very nice appearance on the door frame. I highly recommend it.

I actually have it mounted above my desk in a makeshift office of my home. It works well for me but I too thought of putting it in a cabinet. Good idea. With batteries in it (size D being the largest), mine measured 2.5 inches deep.

Measurements are correct. I would not purchase for doors and windows that will be opened and closed on a daily basis. This is for areas in the house that do not have constant activity. I have found the bark box to be very useful as an alert system especially at night.

The light has been installed and on motion detection switch for almost two months. The original batteries are fine. However, it's only used for 10-12 times a week getting into the safe. I am extremely pleased with the light. It has served as my safe door light and temporarily as flashlight when removed from its mount.

Have had a set of batteries (alkaline) in, for over a year, and it still functions fine. However, I would suggest changing them every year, or so. Beats coming home to a dark porch/front door.

It should work for that long. It works better plugged in. I wouldn't leave it going for more than 4 hours with good batteries.

Battery use life depend on which quality of batteries you choice, normal 3-6months, motion sensor use 9V square battery, door/window sensor use 12v 23A batteries

The back up battery will open the door if you use the remote or press the wall mounted button. The battery lasts about 4-5 yrs.

These batteries are very small. I use them in my doorbell, since it is wireless.

I would definitely not put this outside. I have it in a very small pantry (4'X4') that has a door. I am telling you this because the light is very sensitive motion. If outside , it would stay on all the time and run down the batteries very quickly. I try to keep the door closed for this reason. Also it is not bright enough to illuminate a large area.
