How to Choose the Best Keyless Entry Door Lock for Your Home

What Are Keyless Entry Door Locks And How Do They Work?

Most people have, at some point or another, experienced that sinking feeling of hearing a door snap shut just as they realise their keys are on the other side! A keyless entry door lock uses a punch code, biometrics, fob or another device to open and close entryways so you no longer need to worry about forgetting or losing your keys.

There are several types of keyless locks that you can choose from depending on your needs. The most common type is the punch code lock, which requires you to enter a code on a keypad to unlock the door. Biometric locks use your fingerprint or iris scan to unlock the door. Fob locks work with a key fob that you carry with you, and NFC locks use your smartphone as the key.

If a keyless entry door lock means you’re more likely to lock your doors every time you leave, less likely to hide a key underneath a doormat, or make tons of extra keys to share that you eventually lose track of, then they are an ideal choice for ensuring your home is more secure.

What Are The Benefits Of Keyless Entry Door Locks For Commercial Premises?

There are several benefits to keyless entry door locks for your office or other commercial premises:

• You no longer have to make a key or change the locks when a staff member leaves. You also won't have to worry about having a designated person to open and close your facility each day.
• Security: Keyless door locks provide greater control over who is allowed access to certain parts of your building, whether that's the front door or restricted areas throughout the office. They can also provide insight into who is entering and exiting the building.
• Integration with access control: You can program keyless door locks to only let certain employees in or out during specific times of the day, such as during your regular business hours.
• Longer lasting: All of that turning and metal on metal wears down regular door locks. Keyless door locks don't undergo the same level of wear and tear.

How Do You Install A Keyless Entry Door Lock?

Most keyless front door locks attach to the inside of the door and use your existing keyed cylinder and deadbolt hardware - however, the installation will depend on the keyless entry door lock you choose. We always recommend having your lock installed by a qualified locksmith so you have peace of mind it will keep your home or office secure and will continue to work properly. We have manuals for all keyless front door locks in our range that include detailed information on installation and maintenance.
