Keypad Door Lock Installation in Charlotte, NC

Electronic deadbolts, keypad door handles, and code entry systems for commercial and residential properties throughout Charlotte and the NC/SC region.

โœ“ Licensed NC & SC โœ“ Commercial & Residential โœ“ All Major Brands

Keypad locks eliminate the need for physical keys entirely โ€” no more lost keys, no more copying keys for new staff, and no expensive re-keying every time an employee leaves. Public Locksmith installs keypad door locks throughout Charlotte for businesses managing staff turnover, property managers with multiple tenants, and homeowners who want the convenience of code-based entry. We supply, install, and program battery-powered and wired keypad locks for any door type.

Types of Keypad Locks We Install

๐Ÿ”‹ Standalone Electronic Deadbolt

Battery-powered keypad deadbolts such as the Schlage BE365 and Kwikset 910 are the most common residential and light commercial solution. No wiring required โ€” they install just like a standard deadbolt and run on AA batteries. Up to 19 user codes can be programmed. Ideal for office front doors, rental properties, and storage rooms.

๐Ÿข Commercial Grade Electronic Lever

For higher-traffic commercial doors, we install commercial-grade electronic levers such as the Schlage ND series with electronic module. These provide ANSI Grade 1 durability with the convenience of PIN access, and are ADA compliant for public-facing commercial entrances.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Keypad with Key Override

Most standalone keypad deadbolts include a physical key cylinder as an emergency backup. This is the ideal configuration for businesses that want keyless convenience while retaining a key-based fallback for power failures or forgotten codes. We install and key these to your existing key system where possible.

๐Ÿ“ถ Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Smart Locks

Connected smart locks such as the Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo add remote access management via a smartphone app. Lock and unlock from anywhere, receive entry notifications, and create time-limited access codes for guests or contractors โ€” all managed from your phone. No hub required for Wi-Fi models.

๐Ÿ” Commercial Access Control Keypad

For multi-door commercial installations requiring audit trails, credential management, and integration with alarm or building management systems, we install commercial access control keypads from HID, Honeywell, and Bosch. These go beyond a standalone keypad lock into full access control territory. See our Access Control Charlotte page for details on these systems.

  • Guest access codes โ€” give a unique code to dog walkers, housekeepers, or family that can be deleted when no longer needed

  • Perfect for Airbnb & rental properties โ€” generate a new code for every guest, no key handoff required
  • Remote management with smart models โ€” let someone in from anywhere using a connected lock app

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best keypad door lock for a small office in Charlotte?
For a small office, we typically recommend the Schlage BE365 or Kwikset 910 โ€” both are battery-powered, ANSI Grade 2 rated, and support up to 19 user codes. For higher-traffic commercial doors, a Schlage commercial-grade electronic lever is more appropriate. Call 704-905-6600 and we can recommend the right lock for your door.
Do keypad door locks work without electricity?
Battery-powered keypad locks โ€” the most common type we install โ€” operate entirely on batteries (typically AA) and do not need wired electricity. Most models include a low-battery warning. In an emergency, you can often hold a 9V battery to the terminals on the front of the lock to get one last entry. Most keypad locks also include a physical key override.
Can you install a keypad lock on my existing door in Charlotte?
In most cases, yes. Standard keypad deadbolts and keypad handlesets are designed to replace existing door hardware using the same prep holes. We bring the most common models on our vehicle for same-visit installation. For non-standard commercial doors we may need to order specific hardware.
How many codes can a keypad door lock hold?
Consumer-grade keypad deadbolts typically support 10โ€“30 user codes depending on the model. Smart Wi-Fi locks like the Schlage Encode can hold 100 access codes and can be managed remotely from an app. Commercial access control systems support unlimited users. We can advise on the right model for your number of users.
What happens if someone forgets the keypad code?
Most keypad locks include a physical key override as a backup โ€” the lock comes with keys for emergency use. Smart lock models can also be unlocked remotely from the owner's phone. We recommend always keeping the emergency key accessible to the property owner, and we can rekey or reprogram any lock if needed. Call 704-905-6600 for lockout assistance.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
"We run a small office in Ballantyne and had constant issues with staff sharing keys. Public Locksmith installed Schlage keypad deadbolts on our two main doors and programmed individual codes for each employee. When someone left last month we just deleted their code โ€” no locksmith call, no re-keying. Should have done this years ago."
Brian T. ๐Ÿ“ Small Office Owner, Ballantyne

"I own three Airbnb properties in South Charlotte and keypad locks have completely changed how I manage them. Public Locksmith installed Kwikset Halo Wi-Fi locks on all three. I generate a new code for each guest booking and they let themselves in. No key exchanges, no lockouts. Incredible service."
Nicole W. ๐Ÿ“ Airbnb Host, South Charlotte
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
"Our restaurant had been dealing with staff key chaos for two years. Public Locksmith installed a commercial electronic lever on the back-of-house door and a keypad deadbolt on the manager's office. Codes assigned per shift. It works great and the team was fast and professional."
Marcus D. ๐Ÿ“ Restaurant Owner, Uptown Charlotte
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
"We manage a 40,000 sq ft warehouse in Pineville and needed keypad access on several interior doors without running wiring.

"We had Public Locksmith install keypad locks across four storage areas in our Fort Mill facility after an employee departure.
