Hi I am Terry and this is Ask Mr. locksmith I get asked all the times what is more secure a keyless electronic lock or a keyed lock. The proper deadbolts with a key or the electronic locks that are deadbolts. The electronic locks are excellent. They are more of a convenience and one of you just punch in your button numbers and it opens it up. Some if not most of them have a key override in the bottom. If you have a keyless lock and if your batteries go dead or you forget the combination you can have the key open the lock.
High Security Deadbolts
If you have the key the deadbolt or the same price as your electronic locks. If you bought a good high quality deadbolt or one of the High Security deadbolts like Medeco, Abloy, etc. that are pick resistant drill resistant, dollar for dollar the deadbolt and the High Security deadbolt is more secure against burglaries, kicking attempts and picking than the keyless lock.
Best Keyless Entry Door Lock
The advantage the keyless locks have over the deadbolts is the feature I love the most is it will lock automatically. After one minute or four minutes, depending upon your make and model it could be ten minutes, the electronic lock can lock automatically lock. A lot of the break-ins I see on a daily if not weekly basis I am seeing break-ins they are not even breaking in. The door was not locked so the key this locks are great if you have got kids or whatever you think you are forgetful. The electronic lock will lock automatically if you program it that way where the mechanical deadbolt will not.
Keyless Locks
I like like keyless locks, yes I love them. I have a keyless lock on my house and I have a deadbolt for night-time. When I go away I have the best of both worlds. Most people cannot do that. Dollar for dollar the mechanical deadbolt is superior to the keyless lock for security.

I live in a very cold climate, and whilst I really embrace smart home technology there’s a big problem for me. I’m not confident with electronics in extreme weather, If I get locked out at -30c nothing will matter because I’ll be a frozen human. Over the years the simplex cypher locks on businesses have worked flawlessly. For my new residential I want to install a mechanical button, with a keyed override , a simplex is overkill, so I’m leaning towards the Schlage 626, any thoughts or upgrades?

[@NeilWoodSales]

Do you recommend a deadbolt with an electric lock?

[@johng.1703]

umm where would you put a pick in a keyless lock? I'd love to see a video on that lol, I'm sure it would involve a lot of head scratching...

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Some keyless locks still have a key over-ride.

[@joshua43214]

You need to watch the Lock Picking Lawyer. He uses random crap to open many of these keyless locks

[@hughjames8339]

What locks are good ? What’s do you have on your house? What will slow picker down

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Schalge Encode and a B660 Primus deadbolt :-)

[@blueginger3654]

But can't a third just buy an electronic lock and use the key? There have to be keys out there work on multiple locks

[@aliyusanusi3942]

I'm a locksmith Expert here in my country, I don't know if I can get job in any company that you know please

[@susanyoung9656]

Please recommend a good keyless lock. Which brand is reliable? I want to install one at my mother’s house. I would like emergency services to be able to get into her house should she need help. I would be able to provide the code to EMS at the time it is needed.

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Any Schlage Keyless deadbolts, BE365, Encodes. Some of the newer Yales are good too.

[@susanyoung7229]

Thank you very much!

[@johnmorgan7468]

Can the Ultraloq U Bolt Pro Wifi Smart lock be comprised? Is it secure?

[@kinggzz]

better for what, peace of mind? bc if you are gone and a criminal wants in, either one is no problem.

[@bowlampar]

My front door doesn't have a key hole, unless you know the code to open the cover to key hole. superb lock picking skill is useless here.
