electronic locks

Keypad-controlled entry devices

Electronic locks are locking mechanisms that use electrical power and digital controls rather than purely mechanical components.

They may require keypads, cards, fingerprints, or smartphone apps to unlock: The hotel uses electronic locks with key cards.

Electronic locks offer features impossible with traditional locks—remote access, temporary codes for guests, and logs of who entered when.
