Has anyone ever installed swipe card locks on their home rather than use
traditional lock and key? What about those cards you use in hotels?

I haven't but I did love the keypad option on my garage door.

However, don't forget to think about what happens in the event
of a power failure. That could be a big problem unless you have
some battery backup and/or an alternate means of entry.

Yeah I was thinking about that too. It would suck to be locked out of your
house for lack of a few volts

But why would that be any more likely than any other power garage door
opener? If the swipe pad had no power, neither would the motor.

So? If the garage door won't open, is that your only way into the house? If
you answer "yes", then you need to revise your thinking a bit.
