Types of Electronic Lock Systems

If you’re planning to upgrade to electronic lock systems, read this article to learn more about the different types of electronic lock systems and choose which one’s the best for you.

• Magnetic lock

Well, you guessed it, it’s a lock that uses magnetic force to keep the door closed. With an electromagnet attached to the frame and an armature plate at the door, it locks itself when it detects electric current passing through.

If you need a magnetic lock, our experienced and reliable locksmiths are ready to help with the installation. We also offer our other locksmith services at your location, so you don’t have to drive to our place.

• Electric bolt lock

An electric bolt lock provides a great deal of security, especially if you’re going to use it for interior doors and cabinets. It uses an electric current to lock and open the door when activated by the owner. Electric bolt locks can be locked and unlocked through different ways such as passwords and biometrics. 

They are affordable and easy to use, and they last a long time, too. For electric bolt locks, C & D locksmith has many affordable options for you.

• Electronic strike

An electric strike, a popular alternative to standard strikes, is great for security. They are easy to install, except for some electronic strike types that require owners to modify the door frame for installation. 

Businesses need to keep good privacy and security, and we can help you with that with our high-quality commercial locksmith services and electronic strikes.

With electronic strikes, you can open them from the outside with a compatible keypad, key card, passcodes, or other forms of keys. Good for security, especially in places that require moderated traffic, electronic strikes are always locked from the outside as soon as you close the door. 

• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) lock

Great for large buildings with multiple rooms, RFID locks require users to open the lock with radio frequency devices, such as through a card and a smartphone. Also, since they use radio frequency, users don’t have to touch the door to unlock it.  RFID locks are also customizable, meaning that you can set the way they work in certain conditions. 

C & D Locksmith has some of the best efficient and reliable RFID lock systems, and we can install them for you, too!
