Keyless Deadbolt
What are good ways to secure a small business office? Interior doors and exterior doors? Cabinets?
I am looking into keyless entry. I suppose a card system would be too expensive for our small business. I started looking at keyless locks. Biometric seems best except the battery life?
There is mechanical keyless locks but those usually are just deadbolts? I would hope to find some way to have the spring type? not the deadbolts . where you can close the door and it locks by itself.
Ideas? What about front door? Biometric seems like a great idea? We can’t afford too expensive systems.
I have Schlage front entry lock on my door runs about $130 at Home Depot and it will relock upon closing if you buy the handle version: http://consumer.schlage.com/electronics/product-tour.asp?product=entry
For your cabinets here is a link to a site with electronic keypad locks: http://www.nokey.com/elkecalo.html
Good Luck!

How Keyless Entry Can Help You Reduce Shrinkage At Work
For a lot of us shrinkage is a big problem in our businesses. Not having the right level of security can cost us thousands of dollars a year in stolen goods or employees billing for hours they didn’t work. You can easily get better control without having to spend a fortune to do so. Most of our businesses have stock rooms where products are stored and there are keys that the managers or employees have to get into this room. With a standard mechanical lock you have no real way of knowing who was entering these rooms and unless you have restricted keys you can’t stop people form making copies of those keys. There are a ton of features in a keyless entry system such as UCA’s Eternity Locks that will change the way you secure your business.
The main thing that you need to get under control is your keys. If previous or current employees have a second key cut you could be in trouble. An example of this would be as such. In a restaurant situation if a bartender had a key cut for a liquor room you now have a problem because whomever received the key has access and you have no idea what key was used to enter the room and when it happened. If you switch over to a lock with a keypad or an iButton that has an audit trail then this is never again going to be a problem. Locks like these record who has entered the room and at what time they did so. If you give an iButton or a code to an employee and tell them that the key is recorded for them and only them then nine times out of ten it will be handled with greater care. You will no longer see people lending keys to others to get in a particular room once they know that they are audited and responsible for anything that happens when that key is being used. Not only have you just made your employee hold onto their key a bit tighter but you have instant accountability. In they event that something does happen in said room you have the ability to go to your PC and see what has happened to this lock up until that moment. You will have a record of the employees name and what time they entered the room so when you approach them you will have the facts. Another key point about the audit trail is if you have the login/out sheet behind a lock and an employee keeps leaving early and doesn’t sign out for that time you will also have a record of that. Make it clear to your staff and I believe you will find that they are far more punctual in the work place.
Another major feature is Shift Timing. If you have an employee that comes in between 8am and 5pm then you can set their code or iButton to only allow them access to the lock between those hours or any hours you deem for them! You never have to worry about anyone getting in a room when they are not working or not allowed in there. It is as simple as that. If they try to gain access after they aren’t allowed the lock will record it and tell you that they were denied access.
If an employee is no longer with your company then you just remove their code or key from the lock and they no longer have access so it no longer matters if they keep their key or not. If you get the key back you can now just change the name attributed to it to the new owner and carry on as if nothing had ever happened.
Just having these simple features will definitely make a difference in your day to day business and save you thousands upon thousands of dollars a year if used correctly.

what kind of padlock/deadbolt lock do i use for a keyless doorknob?
My bedroom’s door is keyless. It can be locked but easily opened though its tiny hole with any piece of tool like a toothpick. What kind of lock can I use to securely lock my bedroom door? I live with others and I don’t feel right leaving my belongings and private stuff “open”. My doorknob is lever-style
What you’ve described is a privacy knobset. What you want is an entry way knobset, also known as key in knob knobset or KIK for short. When you buy these knobset at the hardware store, they come with their own latch. A lot of people install these knobs with the existing latches from their passage or privacy knobset but that would be a mistake. The entryway latch has what’s called a dead latch which is usually a half circular plunger at the back of the latch, when this plunger is depressed, the latch cannot be retracted. The idea is to prevent the credit card attack on such sprung latches. Another problem is if the strike isn’t aligned right, these dead latches pop into the hole with the latch, you don’t want this, you want the deadlatch to remain depressed when the door is closed.
Sounds like you’re still at your parents place so you should ask them to install the lock or at least for permission to install the lock. They may require that you provide them with a key.
Even when you move out, you’ll likely have to put up with shared accommodation for some part of your life so you may wish to consider getting a footlocker or metal storage box that you can padlock shut. You can padlock it to a security cable thereby anchoring the box to something harder to take like your bed frame or the closet rod. You can use a keyed padlock in the day and a combination lock while you sleep thereby addressing the weaknesses of both ie.: a keyed lock is subject to someone “borrowing” your key (just think of the cartoons with the sleeping guard) and a combination lock is subject to someone trying out various combinations in your absence. Try to get a combination lock where you can change the combination like the new Master Lock Speed Dial lock which also allows as long a code as you like. There are keyed padlocks that can be re-keyed, even to match your house key should you ever have a place of your own. You can add a padlock hasp and have both keyed and combination lock on at all times thereby requiring both possession of a key and knowledge of the combination to open. You may be able to put both a keyed padlock and a combination padlock onto the same adjustable shackle if you can find adjustable shackle padlocks of each variety from the same manufacturer. Master Lock 517D and 1517D might work with this scheme but both are very low security locks.
You could also install a small safe but that would require bolting it to the wall or floor and many cheap digital safes use solenoids that can be bounced open.
When you get a checkbook, keep you checkbook and any unused check pads in the safe or locked box. That’s what the thieves are after since they can easily write a check for a couple of hundred dollars and cash it.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
