KEYPAD LOCKS

Secure Code-Based Access Control in Austin.

ZML ACCESS CONTROL SERVICES: Licensed and Insured for Your Protection

What are Keypad Locks?

Keypad locks are electronic access control devices that use numeric or alphanumeric codes instead of traditional keys to grant entry. These versatile security solutions allow authorized users to unlock doors by entering a pre-programmed PIN code on a keypad interface.

How Keypad Locks Work

Keypad locks operate using a straightforward electronic authentication process:

Users enter their assigned PIN code on the keypad.

The lock's internal processor verifies the code against stored authorized codes.

If the code matches, the lock activates an internal motor or solenoid.

This releases the locking mechanism, allowing the door to open.

The door automatically re-locks after a preset time or when closed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We've got A's for your Q's

How secure are keypad locks compared to traditional locks?

Commercial-grade keypad locks offer excellent security when properly installed and managed. They eliminate vulnerabilities associated with lost or copied keys and provide additional security through audit trails and tamper alarms.

How often do batteries need to be changed in keypad locks?

Battery life varies by model and usage, but most commercial-grade keypad locks provide 1-3 years of operation before requiring battery replacement. Many models provide low-battery warnings well in advance of failure.

What happens if I forget my code?

Most commercial keypad locks have master code capabilities that allow system administrators to reset user codes or provide temporary access. Many systems also include mechanical key override options for emergencies.

Can keypad locks be hacked or bypassed?

Quality commercial keypad locks include features to prevent code guessing (lockout after multiple wrong attempts) and tamper protection. Professional installation also ensures that wiring and components are protected from manipulation.

Are keypad locks weatherproof for exterior doors?

We install specially designed weather-resistant models for exterior applications that withstand rain, temperature extremes, and UV exposure. These units typically feature sealed keypads and corrosion-resistant components.

Can keypad locks be integrated with other security systems?

Yes, many commercial keypad locks can integrate with broader access control systems, alarm systems, and building automation platforms. Our team specializes in creating seamless security ecosystems.
