Electronic door locks come in a wide range of types and prices, from $100 to over $500 per lock. While electronic locks may seem more secure, all locks rely on mechanical parts like bolts and latches for security, so quality of construction is important. Electronic locks operate using batteries, wiring, or wireless signals to match keys or biometrics to motors that unlock bolts. Higher-end electronic locks have more access control features. Commercial use is transitioning to electronic locks slowly due to technology changes and lack of compatibility, while residential use is moving more slowly due to cost justification challenges for individual homeowners.

1. Electronic Door Locks - Are They
Right For You?
Electronic Door Locks come in many different types and prices from around $100.00 to well
over $500.00 per lock. You might think that if the lock is electronic then it must be more
secure than mechanical locks. This is not true: like the old saying goes "You get what you
pay for". What I mean by that is all electronic locks must have mechanical parts to them,
such as the locking bolt or latch, the mountings, the handle or lever, etc. All of these should
be manufactured to high standards. If they are not, the lock will not be as secure as a high
security mechanical lock.
How does an Electronic Lock work?
Again, there is a wide variety of ways these locks function. The lock could operate by
batteries or it can be hard wired (low voltage). It could be opened using a card, a key with a
chip embedded in it, it could have a key fob (like your garage door), or it could use

2. biometrics like finger print, palm prints, etc. Once the key and the lock "talk" to each other
and there is a match, a mini-motor will operate to move the locking latch inward to the open
position. Sounds simple but there is a lot going on with the electronics to make this happen.
What are the Benefits of Electronic Locks?
Just like your cell phone or TV, the higher end products will have more features than the
lower end products. Some important features are:
 Audit features
 Multiple users
 Ability to lock out users
 Easy retrofit into the door (replacement of the mechanical door lock)
 Mechanical parts manufactured to high standards
 High battery usage (if batteries are used)
 Battery low warnings
 Weather resistant
Conclusions:
The acceptance of electronic door locks splits into two different directions, commercial and
residential.
Commercial would consist of business, government, education and medical. They are
already starting to change over to some type of electronic access control. This process is
slow as the technology is rapidly changing. Also, the lock manufacturers all use different and
patented technologies that are not usually compatible with one another. Once a decision is
made to use a particular manufacturer and technology it is very difficult and expensive to
switch.

3. Residential is moving very slowly to Electronic Locks. The major reasons are not being able
to justify the cost and most manufacturers are focusing on commercial customers where
there is more volume. That said, there are some electronic locks designed for the residential
user that are standalone and battery operated.
