At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we offer a comprehensive range of locksmithing services to help you protect your home or business. One service we’d like to focus on in this article is replacing keyed locks with pushbutton locks. While pushbutton locks are useful in some situations, they are not ideal for every use case, so we have put together this article to help you decide if they are right for your needs.
- Convenient Access and Control – One of the main benefits of using a pushbutton lock is the way it offers both convenience and control. For example, you will no longer need to worry about carrying a physical key to your building but instead can simply remember a combination. On the flip side, you can keep the doors to your building’s restroom locked at all times and give out the combination to customers as needed.
- Ease of Adjustment – Another benefit of pushbutton locks is the way they make it easy to reset your security when necessary. For example, if you feel too many people have access to your building now, you can simply reset the combination and share it with only people who are authorized to access the space.
- Durability – A third benefit of using a pushbutton lock is the increased durability. Keyed locks are mechanical systems, and thus subject to mechanical failure, such as the key breaking off inside the lock. Pushbutton locks do not have this risk and will therefore last longer.
