Why You Should Choose Keyless Entry

Homeowners

If you own a home and want to get rid of the hassle of carrying your house key everywhere with you, but want your home to be as secure as possible, then keyless entry locks are a great option. With multiple options to choose from, you can guarantee that all of your family members, or those allowed access into your home, will be able to easily operate your keyless entry system, without needing an extra key.

Business Owners

Businesses can greatly benefit from keyless entry, primarily due to the number of employees most businesses have. Keyless entry allows business owners to dictate who can enter the building, when they are allowed entry, and even the specific method through which they can enter a room or building. This kind of control is possible with keyless entry locks and business owners can have the greatest possible control over who is allowed into the building, certain portions of your business building, or even certain rooms or corridors.

Types of Keyless Entry Options

Smart Locks  

Smart locks are the most expensive, but also allow you the most secure and specific control over your home or business security. With certain smart lock keyless entry systems, especially for home security, you can connect your smart lock system to an application on your phone. This way, you can be alerted if someone is at your door when you are not home, for example. Many smart lock systems work best in conjunction with security cameras, which will give you even more peace of mind. Along with knowing someone is at your door, if your smart lock system is connected to security cameras, you may also be able to see on your phone’s application who exactly is at your front door and even let them in wirelessly without being present.

Keypad and Combination Locks

These traditional kinds of keyless entry locks are great for businesses for several reasons. With keypad locks, they are easily installed and programmed by a locksmith. With different combination option, as a business owner, you may choose to give each worker an individual combination code or have the same code for certain doors or corridors. This can be especially helpful if only certain workers are allowed in certain sections of a building.

Another benefit to keypad and combination locks is that they do not require access key cards, which can often be lost, damaged, or stop working. Omitting the need to issue out an access card for every employee, keypad combination locks can be an excellent solution for large businesses that need varying levels of security.

What About for Your Car?

Keyless entry locks are not necessarily just for your home or business and can also be installed in your car. Some individuals want added security for their vehicles for varying reasons and similar keyless entry devices to the ones you will find for home and business can also be installed in your car. 

If you are able to unlock your car door or trunk from your car key via one of the buttons on the top of your key, then you already own a keyless entry locking system for your car. These type of keyless entry devices are almost always exclusively available on newer model vehicles and are extremely convenient for unlocking and locking your car doors and trunk quickly and easily.

However, if you want to upgrade to an even smarter keyless entry system for your car or do not currently have a keyless entry remote system for your vehicle, speak with a local locksmith today.

You can get additional keyless entry systems, such as keypad locks on the driver’s side of your vehicle, which merely require a pin number be entered in order to open one’s car door.
