Re: Home Vision Question

["James Monk" <x10@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have any experience of the 'blue-dot locks" (i-button)
door
locks

https://store.ibutton.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=2506&prm
enbr=776

How do locks such as these or VisAccess stand regarding Home insurance?
Most
insurers seem to want BS approved 5-lever deadlocks, it would rather negate
the appeal for me if I still had to use the existing lock as well!

Any thoughts?

regards

James
