Keyless entry locks remove the hassle of lost and copied keys. Change a code and a former employee can no longer get in. Here are the main types and where each works best.
Electronic keypad locks
Users enter a code on a keypad or touchscreen. Many models support multiple user codes, audit trails, and Bluetooth or app control. They need batteries, so choose one with a low-battery warning and a key or external power backup.
Mechanical combination locks
Push-button locks that need no batteries or wiring. They suit back doors and storerooms where reliability matters more than features.
Biometric locks
Fingerprint readers can store several users and cannot be shared like a code. They are best on interior doors protected from weather.
Which types do you need?
- Main staff entrance: electronic keypad with user codes
- Storeroom or stock room: mechanical push-button
- Manager's office or server room: biometric or high-security keyed
- Fire exits: keep code-free egress and follow fire code
