Codelocks
Codelocks has recently conducted a survey into the buying habits of purchasers of digital locks the result of who is buying electronic and who is sticking to mechanical might come as surprise. Battery powered push button locks have been on the market for several years.
Despite the ready availability of electronic locks, our survey of buying habits found that the sale of mechanical push-button locks still outweighed the sale of electronic locks. So why in this digital age do customers not buy more electronic locks? Cost is a possible factor. Defintely agree with this says Adam of Manchester Locksmith.
With additional functionality, stand alone electronic push- button locks are typically 20 % more expensive than mechanical locks. But users should evaluate the overall cost of purchasing the lock and decide if the extra features really do provide good value for money. The most obvious benefit of an electronic push-button lock over a mechanical lock is the way in which the code is changed. Can sometimes be hard to figure out reckons Steve of Manchester Locksmith.
Most mechanical push-button locks have to be removed from the door before the code can be changed which could take about 20 to 30 minutes. This may not be an issue if there is only one lock, but what if the building has tens or even hundreds of locks that need a code change on a regular basis? Because it is a time-consuming task, it might even delay the code being changed altogether. Takes a very long time so is it worth it asks Ned of Manchester Locksmith. If maintaining levels of access control in a building is important then the codes need changing on a regular basis.
