About the speed thing, are you saying you can't punch the keypad faster than it will register?
Either mine is faulty or I'm the bionic man.
I can punch a three-digit code in about the same time as you might normally say "dot dot dot."
Not overly speedy, jsut doing it.
That is a tiny bit faster than the unit will hear me.
Instead I have to go more like Paul McCartney at the beginning of "When I Saw Her Standing There."
("One Two Three Four! -Well she was just seventeen...")

-Just to give you an idea of the timing.
I rarely have that particular song in my head while I'm opening the safe.
Well, o.k.
Sometimes.
-But that's neither here nor there.

The point is, I DO have to slow down for it.
Are you saying yours would allow me to punch it in "dot dot dot?"
