If you are thinking about enhancing security in your home or business place, you may want to consider installing a home combination lock; there are several good reasons for choosing this kind of lock. If you are dealing with a home, the home combination lock enables you to have total control of your security system especially when you consider the fact that you simply need to adjust the combination instead of having to change the lock. Most importantly, a burglar will not easily manage to break through the home combination lock to access your home. If on the other hand you are dealing with an office situation, you should be able to keep a log of the persons who have access as well as when and if the lock becomes tampered with. You should also be able to limit authorization to specific people or specific times of the day without having to worry about lost keys.
There are basically two different types of the home combination lock; the first one comes with a combination dial and also tend to have master keyed lock such as is commonly found on safe doors and the other type that has amounted numerical keypad. The combination dial lock has an electronic control that is attached to it; you need to dial the lock mechanism in several directions until you reach the pre-set number that will eventually open the door. The digital home combination lock has an attached electronic control; you need a numerical keypad to be able to operate the mechanism. As soon as the right combination of digits is pressed, an electronic signal is passed and the lock gets released automatically. For this type of home combination lock, the most common types of authentication forms and key phrases, passwords or numerical codes. In most cases the combinations will have 7-10 digits or letters that can be remembered easily.
There are alone home combination locks that have an electronic control attached to them; the mechanism will operate using a numerical keypad. Similarly, the lock gets released when someone enters the correct combination of digits or letters into the keypad; an electronic signal is transmitted and the door opens automatically as the lock mechanism is released. There are electronic variations of the cylinder and mortise lock system that are available; this type of lock fits in the same space on the door as your typical lock. You will need to drill holes through which the electrical wires will be passed in addition to fitting a power transfer hinge. You may also want to use another keyless home combination lock that is known as bump proof; burglars are known to use key bumping to break into dead bolts and regular cylinder locks. They insert a bump key that allows them to force the lock pins to jump out of place and release the lock mechanism.
