If you’ve ever found yourself locked out of your home, car, or work, then you understand the frustration. Perhaps you lost or misplaced your keys, or they were compromised in some way, and you had to call a locksmith for help. Maybe you have a cleaning crew, or house or pet sitters who you want to allow access to your place without having spare keys made. For homes and commercial facilities, having secure and convenient door entry is important to the people who live, work, and do business there.

Why Should You Use Keyless Entry?

1. Convenience 

If the thought of never having to fumble with a key or keep up with a key ring makes you happy, then keyless entry is for you. Have you ever arrived late to work only to have to dig through your bag to find a key? That can be alleviated with digital door entry. With the popularity of digital access for so many things these days—smartphone apps that allow you to check your bank account with a touch of your thumb, for example—it’s only natural that people want to experience the ease of keyless entry.

2. Security

Another positive aspect of keyless entry is access control. For businesses, it’s essential to provide a secure yet accessible entrance for employees and visitors. For homes, there’s always a possibility that a spare key can get into the wrong hands or lost when you are out of town and unable to get home quickly. Many keypads even have programmable, custom, temporary, or unique codes that you can use to allow trusted others in while you are away. With keyless entry, you can rest assured that your home, pets, family, and business are safe.  

3. Durability

Keys can break off into locks or get stuck and make the locks difficult to use. With traditional units, you might need to hire a locksmith to fix, replace, or re-key a lock that no longer works. Keyless entry means fewer to no repairs than traditional locks and without the hassle of keys jamming, breaking off, or having to wrangle with them just to get inside. They are prized for their long lifetime—often, the only thing that you’ll need to replace is the battery depending on what type of keyless entry you choose.
