Mechanical Digital Locks For Melbourne Businesses
Upgrade to Smarter, Safer Security
Unless you’ve upgraded to smart locks, your home most likely has a standard mechanical lock, which is operated with a key. On the other hand, a lot of businesses utilise mechanical digital locks, which are slightly different and offer another level of security.
What are Mechanical Digital Locks?
A mechanical digital lock incorporates both a keypad for code input as well as a knob or lever handle that is used to open the door once the correct code has been entered. These locks are operated using:
- A key code
- A knob or lever to open the door
- Mechanical key (override key optional)

Benefits of Mechanical Digital Locks
Mechanical Method of Keyless Entry
You decide on either a 4,5 or 6-digit code, which is used to unlock the door, without the need for a key.
Mechanical Internal Opening
When opening the door from the inside, there’s no need to enter a key code.
Not Reliant on Batteries or Mains Power
The lock mechanism is entirely operated mechanically without the need for external power.
Codes Can Be Changed When Needed
The business owner or manager can change the access codes when needed, using an included code-changing kit.
