Advantages of digital locks
The digital lock is known in the industry by a variety of different names including digi lock, push button lock or code-lock. There’s nothing especially complicated with the idea behind this type of lock. A digital lock, also sometimes called a mechanical digital lock, is simply a locking device that doesn’t use keys. For this reason, it’s also sometimes called a keyless lock.
It works with the use of a simple code. The code is entered onto a keypad to activate or deactivate the locking mechanism in the locking device. The code is a series of digits. A digital lock has a digital part and a mechanical part. The digital part is the keypad. The mechanical part is the lock itself that uses no batteries or electrical power to activate or deactivate. It works simply because of moving part technology.
