Understanding Digital Door Locks and How They Work

For commercial premises that contain a high volume of people, maintaining traditional door locks that require keys can be quite challenging. You may need to make multiple copies of the same key or rely on only a handful of people to gain access to the premises.

A more effective solution for such properties is to install digital door locks. These locking systems rely on a keyless entry mechanism, where a code is used to unlock the door and enter the building. This option works well in situations where issuing cards and keys would otherwise be inconvenient. It is also a great option for several security applications such as main doors, safes and even airport security.

Commercial locksmiths can equip your premises with digital door locks that will enhance security in a convenient manner.

Convenience of digital door locks

Digital locks work in quite a simple manner. They involve typing a code into the control panel of the door, which then unlocks the door and grants access to the premises.

Their simple operational structure makes them even more convenient than other keyless options such as biometric readers (fingerprint readers, retina scanners, etc.). They are also quite easy to install, and commercial locksmiths can replace your old systems with a digital locking system in a relatively short time.

No compromise on security

Digital locks can be fitted on heavy exterior security doors, safes or internal doors as well. They can be easily fitted on surfaces of many shapes and sizes, making them convenient for your whole commercial property. And if you're on a budget, digital locks will not make you incur heavy costs.

No need for additional hardware

Commercial locksmiths are able to install digital locks without requiring any additional hardware on site. These security systems are therefore easy to maintain and they remain viable for a long time to come.

As a result, if you experience heavy traffic on your property, digital door locks are an ideal solution. They can take a heavy beating while still keeping your premises secure.

Quick and easy reprogramming

Are you worried that too many people know the security code to your premises? Digital locks can be easily reprogrammed to a new code that will limit accessibility when you need it. This works great for businesses that may change their staff often or schools that seek to limit access to certain rooms.

Digital locks are more practical solutions for high-traffic establishments that need to maintain flexibility in their security requirements while still maintaining well-protected premises. Talk with commercial locksmiths about digital security and master key systems to learn what's best for you.
