This is one of the most often question that customers asking us when we services their home door locks. They want to know the benefits of the different locks that we can install those days. When it comes to locks, people often wonder about the difference between electronic and regular locks. Electronic locks, such as keypad door locks and key fobs, provide the convenience of automatic locking and unlocking. Regular locks, on the other hand, rely on manual operation via turning a key or using a doorknob. Our locksmiths are equipped to install a variety of locks, including electronic deadbolts, regular door knobs and deadbolts, keyed locks, and keypad door locks to meet your needs. Choosing the right lock can be a big decision for your home or business security. At Bull Star Locksmith, we offer a range of lock options to accommodate any preference.

For a more traditional approach, we offer regular door knobs and deadbolts, keyed locks, and even keypad door locks for added security. Let us help you choose the best option for your security needs. Nowadays there are so many different options out there, of course the quality of the product is related to the price of the locks, so there is lock for every budget.

Final thoughts about the difference in the electronic or regular lock


The regular locks are a lot cheaper and easier to be installed and maintained compared to the electronic locks. The simplicity of the standard regular lock often is the choice of some people but of course their choices are based on their needs. We at Bull Star Locksmith always explain the difference in the locks so our customers will understand exactly what will works best for them. In general the electronic locks are better and more convenient but they also have their cons. We see on the market that some electronic locks completely removed the manual way of opening it which means there is now a key hole for manual use of the lock, which in the other hand makes it little concerning because what if the lock battery dies or somehow there is internal electronic failure and you can't open the lock with your code, that is why we always inform the customers for such as situations so they don't need to call us for emergency lockout. We will always be there for them if they need us but we are trying to prevent moments like this. The difficult part will be that if there is no actual key hole means we don't have much choice to open the door but to destroy the expensive electronic lock so we can open the door.
