Of course, I live in a small rural town, not everyone has this luxury. I also don't have a car, so no keys there either. Unfortunately there is no mail delivery here, so I have to have a PO box key. If only the PO boxes had combos... I have a keyless entry system on my apartment door – I don’t lock it. Of course, I live in a small rural town, not everyone has this luxury.

I have to carry car keys, so what's the big deal about sticking a house key on the same chain. By the way, the headline should read "fewer keys" not "less keys."

So I have to carry the key (in case of a power outage, you have the ability to still get in the building, though the keyhole is blocked if the power is on) AND the toggle thingy, so I have extra clutter! I still like the keyless entry- easy if my hands are full for getting in- but it doesn't minimize my clutter. sadly, at my building we have keyless entry, but it’s not a code, it’s a swipey-toggle.

It works well for guests, but it's mostly a back-up emergency for when someone leaves the house temporarily and forgets the door is locked.

We'd gotten cocky with our keyless freedom and had stupidly removed our emergency entry key from the garage, so we had to break a window to get into the house after the storm. My ex-inlaws had a similar problem with theirs, so I gather it's fairly common. I wouldn't advocate the keyless entry system unless the door is completely enclosed - not just under an awning or overhang. They'd be good for apartment dwellers.

I'm not sure keyless entries will catch on in most modern homes, though, as most folks seem to enter their houses through the garage (which opens via remote) and they often neglect to lock the door between the garage and house. Oh, and it's "fewer keys" rather than "less keys". We put a keyless entry on a small guest cottage at our last house, which worked great.
