What is a keyless entry lock?
Keyless entry locks are electronically operated systems that admit people registered in the system. Depending on the model, users identify themselves with a PIN code, a smart card or fob, a fingerprint, or a combination of these.
Benefits for businesses
- Remove a former employee's access without changing locks
- Give contractors temporary codes
- Some systems keep an entry log
- No keys to cut or collect
Do you need one?
Keyless entry makes most sense when many people use a door, staff turnover is regular, or you need to know who entered and when. For a small office with two keyholders, a quality mechanical lock with a rekey when staff change may be enough.
What to consider before buying
- Power: battery or wired, and what happens if power fails
- A mechanical key override for emergencies
- Fire-code compliance on exit doors
- How codes are managed and by whom
