You must have an existing lock or deadbolt for this to work. It is not a stand-alone!

It will replace the back of your esiticng deadbolt and work with the front piece and the deadbolt mechanism of your existing lock. Pin pad comes with 2 preinstalled coin cell batteries, and the lock it self has 4 AA batteries that come preinstalled.
