Two keypads on entry door?

I've been using a keyless Schlage door lock with a keypad on my entry door for several years and really love the convenience:

But I also have a deadbolt on the same entry door for added security, and it's a hassle to carry around a key for it. So I'm thinking of replacing it with a keyless Schlage *deadbolt* lock with a keypad:

Which means my entry door will have 2 keypads--not exactly a great look.


Has anyone else solved this problem of having 2 keypads on their entry door but still making it look reasonably good?


I can only find a single image of something like this when googling for "two keypads on entry door":

I've thought about using an August lock with a keypad installed nearby but not on the door itself, but I've read that August locks were hacked a while back. I generally don't trust smart locks both in terms of hackability and battery life. I also generally favor Schlage over other brands like Kwikset as I've read that Schlage locks are harder to bump.
