Keys Are Not Always the Best Fit
Fumbling with keys in the dark or leaving a spare under the doormat is outdated and insecure. Keyless entry provides immense convenience for homeowners, AirBnb hosts, office managers, and families with children. iProtect Locksmith provides professional installation and repair of code-based and electronic entry hardware across the GTA.
We don’t just screw the lock to the door. We ensure the deadbolt aligns perfectly with the strike plate so the motorized bolt can throw without jamming or draining the batteries prematurely.
Keyless Entry Services
- Smart Deadbolts: Installing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled locks that allow you to control access from your smartphone and track who enters.
- Mechanical Keypads: Heavy-duty, battery-free push-button locks (like Simplex) ideal for high-traffic employee doors and outdoor gates.
- Standalone Electronic Locks: Simple, reliable battery-operated keypad deadbolts for residential front doors and garage side-entries.
- Code Management: We help you set up master codes, program temporary guest codes, and explain how to change them securely.
Door Fit Comes First
Electronic and motorized locks are incredibly sensitive to door alignment. If you have to pull your door tight to lock your current deadbolt, a motorized smart lock will fail almost immediately. We inspect the door, adjust the hinges, and file the strike plate to ensure a frictionless installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the battery dies in my electronic keypad lock?
Most electronic keyless locks will flash a warning light for weeks before the battery dies. If it completely dies, many models have an override keyway or external terminals where you can touch a 9V battery to jumpstart the lock and enter your code.
Are smart locks as secure as traditional deadbolts?
Yes, the physical deadbolt mechanism of a high-quality smart lock is just as strong as a standard deadbolt. The security difference lies entirely in code management and network security.
Can you install a keypad lock on an exterior gate?
Yes, but we must use mechanical keypad locks (which do not require batteries) or fully weather-rated electronic locks designed specifically for total outdoor exposure to prevent water damage.
