Keyless Door Lock

My Bauer EM Bluetooth Lock was delivered today, now I just need my PC back home to install it.

Got mine today too! May try installing tomorrow if time / weather allows.
Wasn't terribly impressed with the packaging. But it feels well made.

Have you gotten any date when they will be done?

The insurance company called me yesterday and said it should be done in a few weeks. Once the interior is done then it will go to the paint shop.

Frank: Glad things are getting close for your rig. Hopefully all will turn out well.

I installed the Bauer EM BT today. Install was not quite as smooth as I had hoped.

First, because the PC paint job was done after the original latch was installed, there is no paint behind the old latch and the new latch does not cover the old footprint.
Nothing a bit of the touch up paint PC provided can't fix, but something I hoped I wouldn't have to do. That will have to wait till warmer weather.

The other issue I ran into was the position of the strike plate. After fiddling with it for over an hour and not being able to find a position where the door latched tightly AND the deadbolt could engage, I finally gave in and took the Dremel to the mounting holes so I could move the strike plate more towards the outside of the rig. This seemed to work  but I ran out of time before I got it perfect. It's now latching well but the door is a bit tight to open. Didn't have time to program it yet either.

I did end up swapping in the Bauer strike plate even though they seemed dimensionally identical because the old plate was a dull galvanized looking thing and the Bauer plate has a more shiny / clean looking plating.

All in all it seems like a well made product. though the key/tumbler and deadbolt mechanism have a slightly cheaper / lighter feel to them than the original but seem to work well.

Hopefully next weekend I'll get a chance to fiddle with it some more and get it completed.

Jim thanks for the heads up. I always had to slam my door closed and fiddle with the strike plate to get the dead bolt to work. The body shop noticed some scrapping of the paint at the bottom of the door jam so they are going to adjust the door alignment and touch up the paint where it was scrapping. The original strike plate is floating I noticed the one from Bauer will be fixed. Once I get the rig back I will get to see how it goes. Let me know how you make out after your adjustments when you get back to it.
