Keyless Entry Systems in Lower Merion, PA

If someone who no longer works for you knows the shared entry code, you may want to replace it and give each current worker a separate one.

At your Lower Merion business, we change existing codes or install a keyless entry system suited to the way people enter. With individual codes, you can remove one person's access without asking everyone else to learn a new number, provided the system supports that feature. A shared code works differently: everyone using it needs the replacement.

Not every business entrance is a good match for the same equipment. In Lower Merion, we look at the type of door and how it needs to open before recommending a keypad lock. Your choices may include a model powered by batteries with a backup key, so you have another way to enter if the batteries run down. Features vary by model, including how many individual codes it holds and whether you can remove them separately. We explain those differences so you can choose a setup that fits your business.

At your back office entrance, we first look at the door, the existing lock and the space available for a keypad.

We check which way the door swings and whether the opening lets the latch engage properly. These details matter because an electronic unit has to fit the entrance and work with the way you use it. Before starting, we explain whether the existing hardware can stay or whether a replacement is needed. We also go over the available choices, including battery power and whether a backup key is available.

Your choice also affects how you manage access. We explain whether the model supports a separate code for each person and how you can remove one without changing everyone else's. After installation, we check the operation with you, first with the entrance open and then closed. You can try the keypad yourself, and we check that the backup key works if your chosen model includes one. We also show you where the battery compartment is and how the lock indicates low power.

When a worker leaves, remove that person's code rather than relying on them to stop using it.

Check that your own code still works afterward, and give each remaining user a separate code instead of sharing one. Keep the administrator code private, since it controls who can use the door. If you cannot remove an old code or it still works after you delete it, call us to check the lock's settings.

Follow the lock maker's instructions for the correct batteries and replacement procedure. A warning light, a weak sound or trouble entering a valid code may mean the batteries need attention. Keep a backup key in a secure place that you can reach if the lock loses power, and check that it works. If a fresh set of batteries does not resolve the problem, we can examine the lock.
