Let's talk about the many different types of keyless door lock systems you can choose from and what the benefits are.

Benefits of a Commercial Keyless Door Lock System

1. Easy Management

One benefit of a commercial keyless entry system is the ease of management. You can add users to the lock and manage who has access. For example, instead of giving each employee a physical key, you can simply provide them with a code to use.

2. Tight Security

Physical traditional keys are easy to lose and can be copied, which is not suitable for high-security environments. Many of the best commercial keyless locks will be encrypted for data protection, and there isn’t a key involved to lose or get copied.

3. Data Insight

Unless the door is under video surveillance, you cannot tell who opened it and when. Premium access control systems will keep track of all entry data- usually in real-time. For example, an employee might use a code to access a door, and the system will log it.

4. Remote Access

A major benefit of commercial keyless entry systems is remote cloud access. This is great for companies that need to manage multiple buildings. You can unlock or lock doors from anywhere and access insights as well.

5. Configurability

Keyless locks for commercial buildings are also incredibly configurable. Not only can you add and remove users, but you can create a master code, set an auto-lock setting, and more.
