Did you know that keypad locks have gained much in popularity in recent years due to their practicality? It is a complete security solution that provides both peace of mind and a healthy dose of convenience in our daily lives.
As specialists in code locks for apartments, hotels, lockers and any other type of enclosed location, we at Omnitec are going to explore everything you need to know about keypad locks in this article and show you how they can help improve your security systems.
What are keypad locks?
Keypad locks are security systems to access certain areas using a numeric keypad instead of a physical key.
You simply enter a personal code on the lock keypad, whereupon it unlocks immediately (if correct, of course).
As one of the best ways to maintain security in a hotel, it has become a widely adopted solution in the hospitality sector. It has also been extended to the security systems of companies in other areas, as well as becoming popular in ticket offices and homes, for example.
Advantages of keypad locks
Keypad locks offer a number of significant advantages which have led to their widespread popularity among home and business owners. Some of these are:
- Greater security: Keypad locks offer an extra level of security. Access codes can be easily customised and changed, so passwords can be updated regularly to minimise the risk of anyone else gaining unauthorised access. At Omnitec, our keypad locks also have auto-locking features; ensuring the door closes and locks after a pre-set period of time.
- Shared access: Do you need to provide access to different groups of people, such as customers, service personnel, family members or friends? Using keypad lock codes, you can request unique access for each individual, allowing them to enter the area without any need for physical keys. Also, these codes can be easily changed or deleted if permission needs to be revoked.
- Activity log: Our keypad locks come with activity logging, so you can track who has entered and left the premises. This can be especially useful in business settings or when you need to monitor access to your home.
