Electronic Locks
Keyless entry eliminates the need to carry physical keys. Modern day options include using a pin code, access card or biometrics (fingerprints).
An electronic lock is a type of lock that uses electronic components, such as a keypad, smart card, or biometric reader, to grant or deny access.
Electronic locks are used in homes, offices, hotels, and other locations where access control is critical.
Electronic lock systems can be designed to require a specific code or credential to unlock, and some models can include capabilities to automatically lock and unlock at specific times, or when certain criteria are met. For increased convenience and control, they can be linked to a remote control or smartphone app.
Electronic locks can provide a higher level of protection than traditional mechanical locks as they are more difficult to tamper with. They are also more adaptable, allowing for easier access management and providing a digital record of who has accessed and when.

Electronic locks can be more secure than traditional locks in some ways, such as the fact that they don’t use physical keys that can be lost or copied. Electronic Locks can also have the ability to create alerts should the door be forced open.
Like any electronic device, electronic locks can be vulnerable to hacking. However, most modern electronic locks use advanced encryption and other security measures to protect against such attacks.
Some electronic locks have a physical key override in case the electronic components fail or the batteries run flat.
he battery life of electronic locks can vary depending on the model and how often the lock is used. Some locks can go several years between battery changes, while others may need new batteries every few months.
Most electronic locks are designed to be installed on standard doors, however Vertex can supply a large range of locks to suit many different styles of doors and door frames.

Deadbolts increase security
We can supply and install both manual and electronic dead bolts
A deadbolt lock is a type of locking mechanism commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to provide extra security
It consists of a bolt that extends from the door into the doorjamb or frame, making it much more difficult to force the door open than a standard latch. Deadbolt locks can be operated using a key, a thumb turn from the inside or operated electronically. Manual deadlocks typically require a separate key for each side of the lock.
Deadbolts come in different varieties, including single cylinder and double cylinder, and can be made from various materials such as steel or brass. They are often used in conjunction with other types of locks, such as latch locks or electronic access control systems, to provide layered security for a building.

A deadbolt is a type of lock that is installed on a door to provide extra security. It has a bolt that extends into the door jamb or frame, making it much harder to force the door open.
A deadbolt works by using a key or thumb turn to engage a bolt that extends from the lock body into the strike plate on the door jamb. The bolt can only be retracted by turning the key or thumb turn.
There are three main types of deadbolts: single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and keyless entry. Single-cylinder deadbolts are the most common and have a keyhole on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside. Double-cylinder deadbolts require a key to lock and unlock from both sides. Keyless entry deadbolts use a keypad or other electronic means to unlock the door.
Deadbolts are generally considered to be very secure, especially when compared to other types of locks like knob locks. However, the level of security depends on the type of deadbolt and the quality of the installation.
It is possible to install a deadbolt yourself if you have the right tools and knowledge. However, it is generally recommended that you hire a professional locksmith like Vertex Security to ensure that the deadbolt is installed correctly and securely.
To maintain your deadbolt, you should keep it clean and lubricated. Use a dry lubricant like graphite to keep the keyway and bolt mechanism functioning smoothly. Check the screws and strike plate periodically to make sure they are tight and secure. If you notice any issues with the deadbolt, like difficulty turning the key or a loose bolt, contact us to book a lock service
