If you’re a homeowner, chances are you think about your locks and keys, and whether or not you should have better security from time to time. At Buckeye Locksmith, we think about it all the time. We know how wide the world of locksmithing has become, and there’s a lot to consider when your options have been around for hundreds of years or have just been released. Lock technology changes fast, and we’re here to help you keep up with it.

If you live in London, Lithopolis, Columbus, or the greater Columbus area, we want to be your choice for all your locksmith services. Here’s a little more about how we can help you stay up to date and ahead of criminals.

Technological Lock Services From Buckeye Locksmith

With lock technology changing much faster than buildings and cars, there are a wide range of things that we can offer in order to make your home, car, or business more secure. Here are five of them that we commonly perform.

Key Fobs

While they’re not exactly futuristic at this point, key fobs are still a major upgrade for some people who are still dealing with manual locks. A key fob replacement or installation will help you get into your car faster and make locking and unlocking quicker.

Push to Start

Our second tech upgrade is car related as well, and just a little more luxurious. Push to start systems allow you to start your car with the press of a button as long as your key fob is on your person. When you get out with the key, the car will turn itself off.

Mobile and Smart Locking

There are a variety of systems available today that make car security and comfort greater than it’s ever been. When you work with us, we can install a mobile, smart-locking system into your car so that you can monitor and start your car from a distance. Smart locks are especially great for cars, because they can be connected to the other systems of your car as well. Want to get the heat going? You can. Want to check your engine status? You can. Want to get a live peek at who’s around your car? All of this is possible with the right smart locking system.

Smart locks aren’t only for cars either, with our residential and commercial locksmith services, you can get the latest locking and security technology for your home. We can add electronic combination locks, touchpad enabled security, and a variety of systems for you to help prevent as well as monitor the comings and goings of your business.

Keyless Entry Systems

As we mentioned before, there are a variety of systems available with touchpad enabled security that we can offer. Far from being the spy-movie motif it used to be, keyless entry pads are becoming increasingly popular for both homes and commercial properties. Keyless entry systems bring convenience and an added layer of security, because you can’t drop your lock code on the ground!

You may wonder how exactly the systems work — and what happens if you forget your code?! Not to worry, part of the reason that keyless entry systems are so popular with vacation homes is because they can be reprogrammed as much as you like. So if someone you don’t like has your code, simply go in and change it. There’s of course the added benefit of not having to remember your keys as well!

If you’re considering a keyless entry system for your business, and you have areas that are restricted to either employees or customers, then you’re on the right track. With a keyless entry system, you don’t have to worry about employees who may steal supplies or customers who could go into an unauthorized area and get hurt. You can have the power to be the only one with access. Pair it with one of our smart-locking systems, and you can have more constant and efficient monitoring as well.
