Some use a purely mechanical code mechanism, while electronic versions use batteries or wired power. Check the individual product.
Compact Locks for Cabinets and Enclosures
Digital locks provide controlled access without handing out conventional keys. A code-operated mechanism suits offices, storerooms and shared internal doors where authorised users need repeat entry.
Check whether the lock is mechanical or powered, how codes are changed and whether free exit is required from inside. Door thickness, handing and backset must match the product. Compare alternative mechanisms in the door locks and latches range.
Fit the keypad where users can operate it comfortably and follow the drilling template closely. Compatible door lever furniture may be required by the chosen model. Check the door hangs square on suitable hinges before setting the latch or keep.
Digital Lock FAQ's
Most code locks allow authorised code changes, but the method and number of available codes vary by model.
The product may provide a warning, emergency power point or key override. Confirm the backup method before purchase.
Only models specifically rated for the door, weather exposure and required security should be used externally.
Many are reversible, but handing, latch orientation and keypad position must be checked against the instructions.
