Beam Me Up Scotty

This week we had some windows and the back door replaced. Somewhere along the line someone had put a screen door on the back. Except they forgot to take into account the lights on the outside which the door now banged into, so to solve that problem they just removed the light bulbs. Not that we used the lights as they were security lights - just what you wanted for an evening on the deck a sudden blast of bright light. The handle on the screen door didn't work very well so you had to bash it to get it to open and the back door could be hard to open when an air pocket formed between the two doors. So as we needed to have some windows replaced we decided to have the screen door removed and the back door replaced.

I had to get a new lock for the new door so I decided to get one of those electronic ones with a key pad. (And this is not going to be a rant about not being able to change the master number. Grrgh.)

The one I chose came with two remote controls. Which was not the reason I chose this particular lock but I am sure the marketing people thought it was a good sales feature.

Up here all packaging is in English and French; so one side of the box says "with remote control" and the other side says "avec télécommande".

Beam Me Up Scotty!
