What Types of Digital Door Locks Are There?

When it comes to choosing what type of digital door lock to purchase, there are several options available. Some are going to be better than others based on your particular needs.

 

Let’s go over the different types of digital door locks.

 

Keypad Locks

Keypad locks are the more basic type of digital door lock. They’ve been around the longest. These are the types of locks that have the number pads on the front. Instead of a key, a combination code can be entered into a keypad to unlock the door. The Raizo digital door lock is a great example of a keypad digital door lock. Keypad locks are also going to be the most affordable type of digital door lock.

Keyless and Wireless Locks

Keyless and wireless locks are becoming the hot, new loT device for smart home security. These locks are typically app-enabled so you can lock or unlock your front door from your smartphone, once you download the manufacturer’s app.

 

Fingerprint Locks

Fingerprint door locks typically use a second form of authentication after the fingerprint. They will usually require an access code to be entered as well. One of the cool things about fingerprint door locks is that you can buy them individually for single door use. That means you don’t really need a whole network and server to use one. These types of locks tend to be on the expensive side, and they can be much more difficult to set up and install, but if you need a smart lock that is really hard to bypass, this might be the way to go.

 

Which door should I install digital door lock on?

A digital door lock can be retrofitted onto any door where a traditional lock has been installed. But that doesn’t mean you need a digital door lock everywhere in your home or business. So, where does it make sense to install one?

 

The obvious choice is the front door. This is the main point of access and the features and benefits of digital door locks make installing one on a front door common sense.

 

And what about interior doors? I’d argue that not all interior doors need a digital door lock. In fact, it probably makes sense to keep access control inside the house as simple as possible.

Do you need a digital door lock on a bathroom door? Probably not. However, if you have a home office, it may make sense to install a digital door lock on that door. A home office could require many different people to have access. And, if you run a business out of your home, you may be legally required to have good access control on the interior door – such as a medical billing company, for example.
