We have so many things to pay attention to and worry about nowadays. Adulthood comes along with so many responsibilities, from being reliable at work to making sure to always be available at home in terms of family and friends and their individual needs. It can be easy to forget little details, or misplace things. Losing keys happens to the best of us. Whether that means that a key was left at the office, or even in the produce section of the grocery store.
What is a keyless entry system?
A keyless entry system allows a person to get into a property without the use of a key. In terms of vehicles, it is the ability to unlock the door using a remote, or sometimes through the use of buttons which are located on the door. It is a way of accessing a property without the use of a key. Some keyless entry systems involve using a fingerprint to get in. Some people find it an easier way to get into a property. If you have a home and are about to go out of town, but you want a neighbor to randomly check in on your house, you can share your code with them, without having to create a copy of your key.
So, what are some benefits of going keyless?
First and foremost, when you opt to have the ability to get into a property without using a key, you are choosing to often times have a more secure property but also to avoid having to carry around an extra key. Think about just how many keys you would have to carry around without the ability to have keyless entry. Maybe you have a key for your home, your storage unit, the office, your vehicle, your mailbox, a safe and more. Your key ring can quickly become heavy. If you keep all of your keys on one key ring, it can actually damage your ignition cylinder by weighing it down. It can be heavy to carry around in your purse, or you might not be able to fit all of the keys in your wallet. These are just some of the benefits to opting to go keyless.
In terms of vehicles…
Keyless entry is a deterrent for theft because it makes it more difficult to steal a car. Cutting wires and splicing them together just won’t cut it when a person doesn’t have the code associated with the transmitter fob. The engine simply will not start. As a matter of fact, many systems will disable the ignition circuit altogether. Moreover, having keyless ignition means that a person doesn’t have to carry keys around in their pocket or purse. They won’t have to fumble around looking for the key. If it is snowing outside or cold or very hot, you won’t have to struggle in order to get into the car.
In terms of commercial properties…
A person can share their code with the people they want to have access to certain property points. This will keep unwanted persons out. Keyless entry also provides improved security inside of a building, it lessens the risk of theft occurring; it gets rid of the price that comes along with having to change out locks every time an employee leaves, and it gets rid of the price associated with having to make key copies; it helps to keep track of hours that are worked because it can help track who is at the property and when; and it offers even more protection for important paperwork and documents.
In terms of residential properties…
It prevents homeowners from having to keep a spare key under their doormat (which is a very bad idea) and it prevents homeowners from having to purchase a hide-a-key. Having a key hidden away on your lawn is a scary concept, because if someone looked hard enough, they just might be able to find it. The hassle of trying to find a key in the bottom of a purse is eliminated with the use of keyless entry. And with keyless entry, a person won’t ever have to worry about lost or stolen keys. This system also allows for homeowners to be alerted when one enters or leaves their property, which can be extremely helpful. Visitors can be given access, so if you have family members coming in from out of town, and they arrive at your house before you are able to get there, all you have to do is provide them with a code. This way, they can get in without having to wait for you and you don’t have to pay to have a copy of your key created. Another benefit is that some systems allow you to control entry into the property from anywhere, including through the use of your smartphone. This can be useful if you have children who might get home from school before you get home. You can see when they enter the property, and you can grant them access at any time.
Clearly, there are many benefits to keyless entry systems, whether you have an office space you are in charge of, a car or a home. Whether you are in Lynn, Massachusetts or anywhere else in the country, you can benefit from all of the perks that come along with it. Just make sure a professional, licensed locksmith does the installation for you to ensure everything is working properly! This is extremely important.
