Why Switch to Keypad Locks?

Smart locks are a popular choice for home security systems because they can make a big impact for a reasonable price. In addition to proximity lock and unlock, where the app on your smart device locks and unlocks your phone, these locks will also integrate with Alexa and Google Assistant, which enable you to lock and unlock the door using voice commands and a customizable PIN codes.

So, if you are considering new locks, consider these reasons to switch to a keypad lock:

No reason to carry keys - One of the obvious benefits of using a keypad lock is that you will no longer need to carry a physical key. This is helpful when there are multiple people in the household that may lose keys, so that many copies do not have to be made. This also allows you to grant access to the home to visitors without having to hand out keys and get them back. You also don’t have to worry about anyone losing a key and it falling into the wrong hands.

Digital Locks are More Durable- Keypad locks are more durable than traditional ones. Over time, keyed locks can wear down from use, and require maintenance. Keypad locks don’t have the same moving parts which means they will last longer and require little maintenance.

They Provide Higher Security- As we stated, you don’t have to worry about keys falling into the wrong hands with a keypad lock. You can change the codes easily when you no longer want someone to have access, and keypad locks can’t be picked like the traditional lock can. A keyless 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, all of these reasons make these locks more secure.
