In true Baldwin fashion, the new TouchScreen electronic offering is available in two deadbolt styles, Minneapolis and Boulder and in 17 finishes. It can be paired with three coordinating handleset grips for a signature look. With a personalized code, you can easily enter your home with the convenience of keyless entry and the back-lit keypad provides increased visibility. It features patented SecureScreen™ technology to prevent code detection from fingerprints on the touchscreen.
The motorized deadbolt is easy to install, program and use and it operates on four AA batteries. The interior cover has anti-tamper screws for added security and installs in minutes with just a screwdriver—no hard wiring necessary.
