Choosing a keyless door lock
Tired of searching for your keys everywhere or not having full control over your access? Adopting a keyless lock will transform access to your home or business… and for the better!
Whether you want to equip a new entry door with a keyless lock or install one on an existing door, find out here how to make the right choice!
Why choose a keyless door lock?
Physical keys are becoming less and less popular. They can be lost, broken, or copied. With a keyless lock, you eliminate all these hassles. You enjoy greater autonomy and better control over your access, without compromising on security.
The advantages of a keyless system
A keyless lock offers tangible benefits in everyday life. No need to give a duplicate key to a neighbor or take the risk of hiding a key under the doormat, locking your door is both simple and secure.
For families, it’s a daily comfort gain: no more stress if children (or parents 😅) forget their key! And for building managers or businesses, it’s a real boost to keep an eye on comings and goings, without racking your brains.
The different types of keyless locks
There are several models on the market, ranging from mechanical locks to smart locks, but at Serruriers Amherst, we mainly offer two reliable and durable options:
Electronic locks
Electronic door locks allow you to enter a numeric code to unlock the door. Ideal for homes and offices, they offer an excellent compromise between security and ease of use.
Mechanical code locks
Battery-free, these models work anytime, regardless of the weather or a power outage. Their robust design makes them a smart choice for residential and commercial outdoor access.
Undecided between these two keyless lock options? Our experts can guide you towards the best option for your needs.

Choosing the right keyless lock
Here are some essential criteria to consider:
- Door type: Do you have a wood, metal, or composite door? The thickness can influence your choice of model.
- Environment: For outdoor use, choose weather-resistant models.
- Intended use: Residential or commercial? Some models are designed for heavy-duty use.
- Budget: Mechanical combination locks are often more affordable, yet very reliable.
Keyless door lock for businesses
Do you manage a business, office, or warehouse? A keyless lock could become your best friend. Say goodbye to complicated keychain management and hello to simplicity and speed in everyday life.
With a keyless locking system, you can:
- Limit access to the right people
- Avoid the tedious management of key rings
- Reduce the risk of error or loss
- Strengthen the security of your facilities and thus lower your insurance premiums
The exterior (and interior!) keyless lock is a simple and effective solution for maintaining control, without unnecessary complexity.
Installation and maintenance of keyless locks
Installing mechanical or electronic combination locks is generally straightforward, especially with a little experience. However, for optimal and long-lasting performance, we recommend hiring a professional.
Our advice:
- Check the alignment of the door and bolt
- Test the codes regularly
- On electronic models, change the batteries once a year
