Deadbolt Envy.

As we've been slowly making improvements to the house, we realize one of the things we need to do is change the locks. That's pretty much a given when you buy a house someone else had lived in. Our problem - we want this lock:

It may appear unassuming, but there are two important things to consider.

1) It's satin-nickel so it will match everything else we've done that's stainless/nickel (matching is important if we're going to make changes). I'll tolerate the brass handle on the screen door because it was there and it works. But anything new will be silver-ish in color.

2) That little nub on the bottom of it will hold up to 50 fingerprints - all you have to do is swipe the appropriate finger under it and the deadbolt releases. No key required. Very cool.

The only problem - the thing is $240. That's a bit pricey for a lock - so we don't have one. Yet.
