Keyless Entry Systems

Keyless entry systems start from $250 per door. Locksmith Auto installs commercial keyless entry for offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and commercial properties. PIN code, key card, fob, and smartphone access. No more rekeying when employees leave.

The problem with physical keys in a commercial setting is management. Every time someone leaves the company, you should rekey. Every time a key gets lost, you should rekey. Every time you suspect an unauthorized copy exists, you should rekey. That adds up fast. Keyless entry eliminates the problem. Deactivate a code or card in 30 seconds from the admin panel and that person is locked out permanently.

Three main system types. Standalone keypad locks ($250-400 per door) from Trilogy, Kaba, and Schlage. These work without wiring and run on batteries. Good for single doors or small offices. Networked access control ($400-800 per door) connects to a central panel or cloud software. Manage all doors, users, and time-based access schedules from one dashboard. Smartphone-based systems ($500-1000 per door) from Salto, Brivo, and Openpath let you issue virtual keys through an app.

Cost comparison vs traditional keys. A 10-door office with 20 employees using physical keys spends $300-500 every time you rekey — and you should rekey at least once a year for turnover. That is $300-500 per year in perpetuity. A keyless system costs $2500-8000 upfront for 10 doors but the ongoing cost drops to near zero. No rekeying, no key duplication, no lost key emergencies. The system pays for itself in 2-3 years.

Installation process. We survey your property, assess door types and existing hardware, recommend the right system, and install it. Single-door standalone locks install in 1-2 hours. Multi-door networked systems take 1-5 days depending on scope. We program all user codes, cards, or fobs, train your staff on the admin panel, and provide documentation. 1-year warranty on all keyless entry installations, 90-day warranty on labor.
