Re: Manual to power/keyless locks conversion

Very easy, took about 2 hours total including tearing it apart and assembly. I have zip ties in 2 spots temporarily until I can borrow a drill to make 2 mounting holes. But it works with the ties and honestly could stay that way. All of the hardware I used was included. Here's a link:

Can you still use keys to get in the door?
