Whether you have a home in Akron or a business in Cleveland (or vice versa!), investing in the right keypad locks can improve your security and peace of mind. But nowadays, there are so many options to choose from!
Here at Advanced Lock and Key, we want homeowners and business owners in our community to feel confident in their keypad locks. So, we’re here to make the decision process easier with our guide to choosing the right keypad lock.
Residential keypad locks come in a variety of different styles and levels of technology. Some of the most popular include:
If you’re looking for a reliable lock without smart technology, you’ll want to opt for an electronic keypad lock. They can feature a basic touch screen or physical buttons depending on your preference, and rely on long-lasting batteries for power. Typically, electronic keypad locks are programmable for somewhere between 4 and 6 passcodes.
Some of the more popular models of electronic home keypad locks are the 264 Traditional Keypad Deadbolt from Kwikset or the Schlage Touch Keyless Touchscreen Deadbolt.
You can think of smart keypad locks as more technologically advanced versions of the electronic keypad lock. In fact, many of them look the same, and even come with the option for access with a passcode. What sets smart keypad locks apart from electronic models is that they can connect with an app or your smart home suite in order to offer additional features, such as remote access, notifications for entry, and voice control.
There are many brands making smart keypad locks nowadays, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. The Schlage Encode Smart WiFI Deadbolt, for example, is one of the most highly rated smart locks for homes, while the Yale Approach Lock with WiFi and Keypad is also a popular choice.
You’ll want to pay close attention to the compatibility of smart locks with your existing smart home devices. Some models, for instance, will only be compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home while others can integrate with Apple Home or Philips Hue.
If you’re a second homeowner or rent out your home on a rental platform, you might be interested in a keypad lockbox instead of a keypad lock. This will allow you to keep your existing keyed lock on your doors while guests can access the key with a passcode to the lockbox.
Lockboxes are affordable and easy to use, and you can find a variety of options through Master Lock.
Keypad locks for businesses are manufactured with different goals in mind. These locks are often built with a higher level of security and are rated for more opening cycles than a residential setting. They also can typically be calibrated for a much higher number of programmable codes. Some also have more advanced technology for commercial settings with specific security needs.
In certain settings, you’ll want a keypad lock that doesn’t rely on power. This will make it more long-lasting and reliable as well as weatherproof. The Simplex 1000 Series is one of the most popular purely mechanical keypad locks on the market.
Electronic keypad locks in commercial settings can meet a variety of security needs depending on your business. For example, the company Trilogy makes keypad access locks for panic bars, such as the ETDL27 model. Or, you might opt for the BRINKS ANSI Grade 2 Commercial Keypad Lock for use on internal offices and store rooms.
In commercial settings, there’s a wide spectrum of smart keypad locks. Some come with basic functions such as remote access capabilities and entry notifications, while others offer high security access control through biometrics, video capability, data tracking, and other features.
Some of the leading brand names in this area include SimpleAccess and TownSteel, both of which offer Grade 1 smart keypad locks for use on front doors, exit bars, mortise locks, and more.
If you’re a business owner or homeowner here in Cleveland or Akron, we can help you find the right keypad lock for your security needs. We’ll take into consideration your lifestyle or business operations, the amount of passcodes that you’ll need, weather-proofing, and your budget so that you can enjoy the highest level of security at a cost that makes sense for your family or business.
