Mortise LockLocksmith, whether residential or commercial will need to install mechanical locks and master key systems for a lot longer than they can expect. SDC has recently expanded their line of non-electrified mechanical locks. Along with the growing popularity for electronic access control, features such as being able to know who and when there is activity through your doors are becoming a standard. More and more commercial buildings are being secured using proximity readers, electronic locks, and electric strikes.

Electronic access control is now being used to restrict unauthorized access for specialized requirements, but most are still using mechanical locks mainly because the cost of upgrading to an electronic access control system just doesn’t hold it’s value to most consumers. No matter what field of security you specialize in, it is evident that all residential, commercial, and even industrial locksmiths will be using mechanical locks and master key systems for a lot more time to come.
