Types of keyless lock
- Electronic keypad: a code entered on a keypad or touchscreen. Some models add Bluetooth or app control and keep an audit trail.
- Mechanical push-button: a combination pressed on buttons, with no batteries to fail. Good for staff rooms and storage.
- Biometric: fingerprint readers that can be set up for many users and removed when someone leaves.
Which type suits your business?
Think about how many people use the door, whether you need a record of entries, and how the lock should behave in a power or battery failure. For a back office with a few staff, a mechanical lock may be ideal. For a busy front door, an electronic lock with user codes and a log is more practical.
Installation and set-up
We check the door, frame and existing hardware, install the lock, set up the master code and user codes, and show the manager how to add and remove users. Most keyless locks keep a key override for emergencies, and we cut those keys to your master key system if you have one.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if the batteries die?
Most electronic locks warn you well in advance and have a key override or external battery contacts. We show you how yours works.
Can I use keyless locks on a glass storefront door?
Some are designed for narrow-stile aluminum doors. We check the profile and recommend a compatible model.
