My new to me 179 came with a keyless lock pad, but once I realized that you can change the code FROM THE OUTSIDE if you know the manufacturer code (which is on YouTube) I took the batteries out and will be using the keys.

This is only partly true. Yes, you can change the code from outside. And Yes, there is a youtube showing how. BUT, you first have to know the current code that is programmed into the lock to reprogram it. The steps are, first enter the code that is currently programmed (this could be up to an 8 digit code, it's safer than your local ATM). Then reset the code to factory (which is the beginning code of every unit so if you ever forget the code, you can still fix it), Then program in new code that only you will know. This is far from being available on youtube.

This lock made me a huge headache, I was struggling to open it, I forgot the code. Well, long story short, I had to call locksmith tower hill to unlock it as I did not knew I can change the code from the outside. Gladly the locksmith made his job really fast and the price was great.
