A keyless door locking system is a remote controlled door locking system that can be employed both for a car and the home. This system is also equipped with an alarm bell. The keyless entry system for the car allows you to control the car door from a specific distance. This system does not require any manual keys, thus it is quite convenient to open or close the car door using this automated gadget.
A keyless door locking system is actually controlled by a remote. The remote of any device is an electronic device that is powered with batteries. The remote of a keyless car entry system sends a radio signal to a device fitted in the door of a car and thus the car door responds accordingly. The electronic circuit of a keyless remote is uniquely designed and the remote of one keyless entry system cannot work on another keyless entry system. Thus it can be considered as a more secure and reliable locking system for your vehicle than a key based entry system.
You can also install a keyless entry device in your home, office or shop. The home is a place where you live either alone or with family members. It is quite natural that you cannot stay at your home all the time. Therefore you should lock the door before leaving the house. A key based door lock is now days not considered as a safe lock. It is quite possible to make a duplicate copy of your door lock and thieves or others can intrude into your home by using a duplicate lock key. Thus to protect your house from unauthorized access by other persons, you should install a powerful and reliable system on your door. By installing a remote controlled keyless entry system in your house, you can also prevent the theft of precious belongings in your home.
The design and shape of a keyless entry remote depends on the door size and vehicle type. An electronic door entry system is available for all types of vehicles i.e., cars, jeeps, trucks, etc. Many keyless remotes work with code numbers. A user has to press the specific code number on the remote of a digital locking system and the door can be opened or closed accordingly, on the request of the signal.
Many locksmiths are proficient in repairing the defects of digital locks. Whenever you have trouble with your keyless entry remote system, you can go to a licensed locksmith for repair service. But it is always preferable that you should replace the digital code of your automated car lock system in case your keyless remote is stolen or lost. A certified locksmith is also proficient in installing a new code for your car locking system. So if you think that someone has got the secret code of your digital car locking system, you should change the code number.
Many keyless entry equipments work with finger scanning. This system has a sensor device that identifies a particular fingerprint. However, this system can be operated by only that person whose fingerprint has been identified by the system. Modern keyless car entry devices also include extra features such as mileage, fuel and temperature indicators. With these added features, you can know the temperature of a place, your car efficiency, etc.
