Benefits of Keyless Entry Systems

If you own a vehicle that works with a keyless entry system, you may already be enjoying several benefits that other motorists are not privy to. The same goes for homeowners and business owners who employ this security system. Some of these benefits include:

• Enhanced safety
  There are many reasons why these locking systems are much safer than other types of locks. First of all, you don’t need a key to open them. Keys are easily stolen, and they can get lost just as easily. If that occurs, you never know whose hands they’ll end up in. As a result, you never know if your safety is compromised. With keyless locks, this will never be a concern that you have.
  Another instance where you’ll find this type of lock to be more secure is when you need to get in your vehicle quickly. Instead of fumbling around to find your keys, you can get inside much more quickly. If you’re trying to escape a threat outside your vehicle, this can be very convenient as well. But, no matter where you have these locks, rest assured that they will provide a lot more security than many traditional locks.
• Convenience
  Walking around with keys can be a big hassle, especially if you already have a lot items to carry. It surely would be easier if all you had to remember was your passcode. Can you imagine walking to the front door of your home during heavy rain without an umbrella? Fumbling over keys is not something you’d enjoy at that point. With a keyless system, getting in your home would be a breeze. If you’ve had to struggle with experiences such as these, getting one of these systems may seem very appealing.
• It may save you time and money
  You may be wondering how keyless entry systems could ever save you money when they are some of the most expensive locks to date. Well, when you compare the cost of one of these systems with the cost of rekeying or replacing some locks several times, it may work out to be much cheaper. So why would you be replacing your locks so often? Well, if you lose your keys frequently because you just can’t remember where you last placed them, you may need a locksmith to rekey your locks quite often. If not, you may end up replacing those locks every time you lose your keys.
  With keyless systems, even if you forget your code, there is always a way to reset the system and program a new code. This is usually something you can do on your own as these locks often include user manuals or instruction sheets. So, instead of buying a whole new lock, you can have a new code for your lock in record breaking times.
• Lower Insurance Rates
  Did you know that some insurance companies offer lower rates to properties that are protected by keyless entry systems? Yes, they do. If they consider your property to be at less risk, you are very likely to get lower rates than someone else with a higher risk. It doesn’t matter if you’re seeking insurance for your car, home or business, the same rule applies.
  So, if you would love to increase the security of your property and benefit from lower insurance rates, it’s time to check out your keyless lock options. Before you purchase a lock just for this reason, be sure to check your insurance company to see what their policy is regarding these types of locks. It may or may not sound reasonable for you.  

Drawbacks to Keyless Entry Systems

It would be quite unfair to list all the great things about keyless entry without stating some of the unpleasant aspects of it. Though they are few, these drawbacks are sufficient enough to turn away many people from owning these systems. But, many people who have gone ahead and updated their locks, may tell you that the advantages make them more than worth the purchase.
So, let’s see why keyless entry systems may not be all peaches and cream.

• They are very expensive.
  Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a lock for their home. There are many locks on the market that go for much less than that and they’re very effective at providing protection. Not many people can afford to drive new or high-end cars with these locking mechanisms either. So, for some, keyless entry systems are just nowhere near their financial reach.
• You may have to be a bit tech savvy to use them.
  Whether you’re a bit up in age or you’re a bit younger, you may not be very tech savvy. Unfortunately, keyless systems may require some knowledge of technology. Although many of them come with user manuals or instruction sheets, it may take some figuring out for people who are more comfortable handling traditional locks.
  Nevertheless, there is hardly any argument that objects to the unparalleled level of security that these systems can provide. If you are in a position to afford it, you should highly consider it.
