MECHANICAL KEYLESS DOOR LOCKS FAQ's
What are Mechanical Keyless Door Locks?

Mechanical keyless door locks are types of locks that do not require keys or electronic devices to operate. They use a combination of push buttons, levers, knobs, or dials to unlock the door with a code or a password. Mechanical keyless door locks are often used for convenience, security, and access control in residential and commercial settings. They have various advantages such as no risk of losing keys, no need for batteries or wiring, easy installation and maintenance, and resistance to weather and tampering.

What are Mechanical Keyless Door Locks Parts?

  • Keypad: The part that has push buttons, levers, knobs, or dials that are used to enter a code or a password to unlock the door.
  • Handle: The part that is used to unlatch the door and pull it open or push it closed. It can be a knob, a lever, or a grip. It can be operated with a key, a thumb turns, or a push button.
  • Latch: The part that holds the door closed when it is not locked. It can be retracted by turning the keypad or the knob.
  • Bolt: The part that locks the door when it is turned by the keypad or the knob. It extends from the edge of the door into a strike plate on the frame.
  • Cylinder: The part that contains a keyway and pins that can override the keypad and operate the lock with a key. It can be single or double, meaning it can be operated with a key from one side or both sides of the door.
  • Spindle: The part that connects the keypad and the lock mechanism. It transfers the turning motion of the keypad to the latch and the bolt.
  • Strike plate: The part that is attached to the frame and receives the latch and the bolt when the door is closed. It provides a secure fit for the lock and protects the frame from damage.
How to install Mechanical Keyless Door Locks?

  • Measure and mark the position of the lock on the door using a template or a ruler and a level. Make sure it aligns with the existing borehole and cross bore on the door.
  • Drill a hole for the cylinder using a hole saw or a spade bit suitable for your door material (wood or metal). Drill pilot holes for the lock screws using a drill bit.
  • Install the cylinder on the outside of the door using a spanner wrench or a screwdriver. Make sure the cylinder is aligned with the hole and flush with the door surface.
  • Install the lock on the inside of the door using screws and washers. Make sure the lock is aligned with the pilot holes and level with the door edge. Connect the lock and the cylinder with a tailpiece or a connecting bar. Adjust the length of the tailpiece or bar if needed.
  • Test the lock by entering your code and turning it. The lock should operate smoothly and securely.
  • Install the strike plate on the frame using screws and washers. Make sure the strike plate is aligned with the latch and bolt when the door is closed. It provides a secure fit for the lock and protects the frame from damage.
