Keypad Electronic Locks or simply Keypads are similar to combination locks in that a series of numbers or letters must be entered in order to open them.

  • A Lock is a device intended to discourage or prevent theft of valuable goods.

Description (Specifications)

This lock usually takes the form of a terminal-like keyboard next to a door. Electronic locks depend upon solid state circuitry to arm and disarm them. Most have an automatic locking device in the event of power failure; more expensive versions have their own power sources (either primary or backup). All electronic locks can be set to give selective access (that is to limit access of certain individuals to certain times of day, etc.). It is also possible to connect the locks to a larger building security system to register entry/exit and sound alarms if tampered with.
