Got a 6:15 a.m. call after a tabby head-butted the lever and the auto-lock sealed the homeowner out — slippers on the porch, coffee on the counter. I got them back inside quickly and we swapped to a keypad deadbolt with a longer auto-relock delay so curious paws can’t cause a repeat; happy client, tighter security. Anyone else have pets doing “quality assurance” on your hardware?
Been there at ‘6:15 a.m.’ — add a lever guard or go knob; cats surrender, accessibility suffers.
, I totally get the frustration! One time, my dog managed to nudge the handle and lock us out just as we were heading to dinner. Swapped to a keypad, too — way less stress.
