Keypad locks offer secure, keyless entry for homes and businesses. They reduce the need for physical keys and help control access with user codes. For property owners in West Valley, these locks provide a practical way to improve safety. Bob’s Lock Safe & Key helps customers select and install keypad locks that meet specific needs.
Know the Types of Keypad Locks
Keypad locks fall into two main categories:
- Mechanical keypad locks: These do not require batteries or electricity. They operate with push-button combinations.
- Electronic keypad locks: These models need power and often include digital screens, backlighting, or auto-lock timers.
Mechanical locks are simple and long-lasting. Electronic models offer more features and are easier to reprogram. Our team at Bob’s can explain the benefits of each and help you choose the right solution for your property.
Focus on Security Features
Different keypad locks offer different levels of security. Bob’s Lock Safe & Key helps West Valley clients identify locks that match their access needs and security goals.
Look for keypad locks with:
- Auto-locking: The door locks after a set time without input.
- Tamper lockout: Incorrect attempts temporarily disable the keypad.
- Multiple user codes: Assign codes to different users and remove them when no longer needed.
- Weather resistance: Important for outdoor doors, especially in Utah’s varying climate.
We recommend models that match your usage and exposure to weather or traffic. Our residential locksmith services include installation and setup for all supported keypad locks.
Confirm Door Compatibility
Before buying, measure your door’s thickness and check the material. Most keypad locks fit standard wood, metal, or fiberglass doors. Our locksmiths confirm fit before installation, reducing the chance of misalignment or future issues.
Also decide between:
- Deadbolt-style locks for main entrances
- Latch-style locks for internal doors or light-use areas
We can also assess your entry points and suggest upgrades like door and gate security services to support the lock’s function and improve access control.
Integrated or Standalone?
Keypad locks can work independently or as part of a wider security system.
- Standalone locks work on their own with user codes.
- Integrated models link with access control systems, which allow remote monitoring and entry logging.
Bob’s Lock Safe & Key installs both types and can help you choose based on your routine, property size, and user access needs.
Consider Power and Backup Options
Electronic keypad locks require battery power or a direct connection. Always check for:
- Low battery warnings
- Manual key override options
- Backup access methods, such as emergency jump ports or apps (if available)
Our team can walk you through the power options and test emergency access methods during installation.
Benefits of a Keypad Lock
A keypad lock offers reliable access control with:
- No physical keys to carry or lose
- Custom user codes for friends, tenants, or employees
- Entry tracking when connected to access systems
- Easy reprogramming after tenant turnover or staff changes
These features are especially useful for property managers, rental homes, and small business owners.
