keypad lock

Code-activated door latch

A keypad lock is a lock that opens when you enter the correct numeric code on a built-in keypad, eliminating the need for a physical key.

Common on doors, safes, and gates: The office has a keypad lock—I'll text you the code.

Also called a combination lock or digital lock, though those terms have broader applications.
