Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electronic keypad lock?
An electronic keypad lock is a battery or hardwired lock with a digital keypad that allows entry via PIN code. Unlike mechanical pushbutton locks, it can be programmed with multiple user codes and advanced features. At National Lock Supply, we stock keypad locks with optional key override for added flexibility.
How do electronic locks compare to mechanical pushbutton locks?
Electronic keypad locks offer multiple codes, temporary access, audit trails, and illuminated keypads. Mechanical pushbutton locks are purely mechanical, requiring no power but limited to a single fixed code.
What features are available?
Options include auto-relock, one-time PINs, battery backup, and smart home integration via Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, or Bluetooth. Higher-end models also support audit trails and scheduled access.
How secure are electronic keypad locks?
Many models are certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or 2, meaning they are tested for commercial durability, resistance to tampering, and long cycle life.
Do they require wiring?
Most retrofit models are battery-powered, making installation simple. Hardwired options are available for access control integration in high-security facilities.
Where are they used?
In apartments, offices, healthcare, and residential properties, where flexible, reprogrammable security is needed for tenants, staff, or visitors.
Are they ADA compliant?
Yes. Lever-style keypad locks are designed for accessible operation per ADA and ICC standards.
Can they integrate with key systems?
Yes. Many models include key override cylinders (SC1, KW1, SFIC, LFIC) so they can be tied into existing master key systems.
What finishes are available?
Satin Nickel, Satin Chrome, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Matte Black to match most door hardware.
