Keypad & Electronic Door Locks

Learn more about keypad and electronic door locks

Keypad and electronic door locks suit a wide range of door security work, from retrofit upgrades on occupied buildings to specifications for new builds and controlled access across commercial sites. A keypad lock removes the need to issue and recover keys, which can make day to day access easier where staff, contractors or tenants change regularly.

Typical uses

• Side and rear entrances on commercial properties where you want to control access without cutting extra keys.

• Plant rooms and storage areas that only certain people should reach.

• Offices and meeting rooms where access needs to change as people come and go.

• On external doors, a pin code door lock or keyless entry keypad lock can be a better fit than a standard cylinder where keys are easily lost or shared.

How to choose the right keypad and electronic door lock

Matching your traffic volume, power source preference, and door location ensures an efficient installation:

• Mechanical vs. electronic power: Select mechanical push-button locks for low-maintenance internal doors where battery replacement is impractical. Choose battery-powered electronic locks for features like multiple user PINs, timed passage modes, and backlit keypads.

• Internal vs. external weatherproofing: Verify that external-facing keypad locks carry appropriate IP weather ratings to resist rain, moisture and temperature fluctuations.

• Door material and latch compatibility: Ensure the lock spindle depth and backset match your door leaf thickness (typically 35mm to 65mm) and existing mortice latch prep to streamline retrofit installations.

Before you order

• Confirm the lock is suitable for your specific door type and fixing method.

• Check the battery requirements on battery powered digital locks, how you access the battery compartment and what the lock does when power runs low so you're never locked out unexpectedly.

• Review the installation requirements, including any setup needed for access schedules and temporary or guest codes.
