Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mechanical pushbutton lock?
A mechanical pushbutton lock is a non-electronic keypad lock that works by pressing a numeric code sequence. At National Lock Supply, we carry pushbutton locks that provide code-based access without batteries.
How do they differ from electronic keypad locks?
Mechanical pushbutton locks work without power, making them maintenance-free. Electronic locks allow multiple codes and advanced features but require batteries or wiring.
How secure are pushbutton locks?
High-quality models are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or 2, designed for heavy traffic doors and tested for tamper resistance.
Where are they commonly used?
They are ideal for service doors, gyms, storage areas, and offices where multiple users need reliable access.
What door prep is required?
Most fit standard cylindrical preps: 2-1/8″ face bore and 1″ latch bore, with backsets of 2-3/8″ or 2-3/4″
Are pushbutton locks ADA compliant?
Yes, when paired with lever handles that meet ADA/ICC standards.
Can they be rekeyed or keyed alike?
Yes. Many include a key override cylinder compatible with SC1, KW1, or interchangeable cores.
