Keypad locks versus smart locks
A keypad lock is a standalone electronic lock: codes are entered and managed at the lock itself, with no app or Wi-Fi required. A smart lock adds a phone connection, remote access and activity logs. Many households want only the keypad part — fewer moving pieces, nothing to update, and nothing to lose when the internet goes down.
Keypad deadbolts suit front and garage entry doors; keypad lever locks suit side doors, home offices and rental units where the door must latch automatically.
Cold-weather notes for keypad locks
Exterior keypads face Illinois winters directly. Alkaline batteries lose capacity in the cold, so change them before winter rather than waiting for the low-battery warning. A keypad exposed to blowing snow and freezing rain benefits from a door with some overhang. Models with a key override or external battery terminals give you a way in when the batteries do fail.

Common questions
How many codes can a keypad lock hold?
It depends on the model — from a handful to dozens. Separate codes for each person let you remove one without changing everyone's.
What if I forget the master code?
Most locks can be reset to factory settings from the inside. If you are locked out because of a forgotten code, it is handled like any other lockout.
Do keypad locks work in winter?
Yes, with fresh batteries. Cold reduces battery capacity, so replace them before winter and choose a model with a backup way in.
