  • Standard Key Entry

What Kind Of Locks Do You Have?

 

The standard key entry locks work much the same as any house lock, and you’ve run into them countless times. Newer electronic locks usually come in the form of a chip reader that reads a code off your car key. The keys for these can be more expensive, since you need to have the keys chipped and coded. They are much more secure, since a code is needed alongside the key. They usually also have a remote that can open the door with a press of a button. Newer keyless designs take it a step further, and simply check to make sure you are near the car. While you usually still have to press a button to open them, some of these don’t even have a key and just rely on a key fob. These tend to be the most expensive to replace, but the sleek design, extra security, and added convenience can be worth it.
