Keyless Entry Locks for Homes — Capital City Locksmith

Keyless entry means a code instead of a key. For families, rentals and anyone who has ever hidden a key under a plant pot, it removes the single worst habit in home security.

We fit keypad deadbolts and lever sets, set up user codes, and where the model supports it give the cleaner or the dog walker their own code that can be deleted later without changing anything else.

Every unit we fit keeps a mechanical override cylinder, and we key that to your existing house key. Batteries die at the worst possible moment and a keypad with no backup is a lockout waiting to happen.

What the job involves

  • Individual codes per person

    Delete the dog walker's code without touching everyone else's.

  • Mechanical override kept

    And keyed to your existing house key.

  • Set up, not just screwed on

    Codes, auto-lock timing and the app if the model has one.

Common questions

What happens when the batteries die?

You get a low battery warning for weeks first, and there is a mechanical key override behind it. That is why we key the override to your house key.

Can I still use a key?

Yes, on every unit we fit. A keypad-only lock with no override is not something we recommend for a front door.

Do these need Wi-Fi?

Not for a plain keypad. Only if you want remote access and notifications, and plenty of people are happier without.
