Benefits of Keyless Entry

There are various types of locks available today. They are your first defense against an intrusion. That is why you should seriously consider the type of locks you have installed. With advances in technology come different and more effective types of locks. The level of convenience offered by keyless locks is just one of the reasons people choose this type of lock to a standard type. If you are prone to misplacing your lock or losing your keys, a keyless lock is probably your best option. 
There is no key required to unlock a keyless entry lock. This is very appealing to people who would rather not carry a key. The only thing needed is the correct code. The homeowner would program a specific code or password that would be required to lock and unlock the door. No more worrying about losing or misplacing your key since you won’t need it with the keyless option. You can provide the code to every member of your household. In some instances, a different code can be assigned to different people. There are lots of benefits to having a locksmith from El Mirage Locksmith in El Mirage, AZ install your keyless entry lock for you. We’ve listed them below.
  • Easy to Install – You don’t have to worry about any holes being drilled into your doors or walls to install the keyless entry lock. They are usually fitted with a traditional doorknob. No modifications are needed. Considering how easy it is to install a keyless entry, why not give it a try to see how it could impact your life.  
  • Increased Security – We have already established the fact that this type of lock offers a lot of convenience. More importantly, it offers a greater amount of security than a standard lock. There is no key that can be used to unlock your keyless lock. No one can manipulate the keyhole to get inside. When an intruder recognizes a keyless entry, they will likely skip right over your home. It would take too long for them to try to figure out what your code might be. This is valuable time they would waste. Therefore, the burglar will likely go elsewhere. An intruder will often take the route of least resistance. A keyless entry won’t afford them this opportunity.  
  • Temporary Access – When there are contractors in and out of your home, you might have to allow them access into your home by offering them the code to your lock. This isn’t a problem when you have a keyless lock. With a keyless lock all that you’ll need to do is provide them with the code that can be changed once the work has been completed. You don’t have the added worry of someone taking your key and making a copy of it to gain access at a later date. We don’t generally encourage that you give out the code unless it is for a one-time job and you have worked with the contractor before. This code can be given to someone whom you don’t know and they could then come back and rob you. We always encourage our customers to be present whenever someone is in their home but if you can’t be, just remember to change the code after the work has been completed.  
  • Waterproof – The keyless lock is usually waterproof. It has a computer chip inside that needs to be protected and would malfunction if it were to get wet.  
  • Keypad Access – You won’t have a keyhole but you will have a keypad. The keypad lights up at night so that you can see the number and enter the correct code. The keypad is often installed near the doorknob so that it is easy and convenient to access. Since the keypad lights up in the dark, you won’t have to worry about continuing to mis-type the code.   
  • Pass codes – Whenever a keyless lock is installed you are offered two access key passwords. This will allow you to unlock the door if you have forgotten the code.  
  • Remote Access – Most keyless locks can be accessed remotely. You don’t have to be standing right at the door to open it. If you are unable to be there and someone needs to get into your home you can let them in with the press of a button. This means it is connected to your mobile device. This is just another level of convenience offered to you with a keyless entry lock.
