What problems can keyless entry locks prevent?

Most people carry a keychain with keys to their home, car, and possibly other people’s homes, storage units, and other places. The main drawback to carrying a keychain is that it can be lost. If you misplace your keys and someone else finds them, that person can gain access to your home and steal your belongings. If you lose your keys, you will need to have the locks changed to stop someone from gaining unauthorized access.

Keys can also be copied. You probably give your keys to other people who provide services for you, such as mechanics and valets. It is possible that one of them could copy your keys without your knowledge. If that person knows your address, he or she could get into your home without your permission.

Another drawback to traditional locks is that many of them can be picked. Bump keys are sold online that work in many common locks sold by chain retailers. This can make it possible for someone to get into your home and leave no sign of forced entry.

The Advantages of Using Keyless Entry Locks

Keyless entry locks can provide better security than traditional locks. They are opened with a PIN that is entered on a keypad, an access card, or a key fob that needs to be in the vicinity of a reader. A PIN cannot be lost or stolen, and access cards and key fobs are difficult to copy. Keyless entry locks cannot be picked.

If someone who works for you has access to your home or a location within your business and that person’s employment ends, you will not need to change the locks if you have a keyless entry system. You can simply change the PIN or deactivate that individual’s keycard or key fob so it no longer works.

Keyless entry locks can be installed like standard locks. You do not need to install a special door or frame. You can choose a mechanical lock that does not require any power source or an electronic lock that runs on batteries.

Keyless entry can be beneficial to businesses. It can be used to restrict access to sensitive areas at your company’s location or to keep unauthorized people out of the building altogether. The technology can also be used to deter theft by monitoring and recording who accesses or attempts to access sensitive locations.
