Keyless Entry Systems Sydney
Smart Lock and Keyless Entry Installation Across Sydney
A keyless entry system unlocks a door without a traditional key, using a PIN code, fingerprint, smartphone app, or a card or fob. Abbco Locksmiths installs and integrates keyless entry systems for homes and businesses across Sydney, so the lock is fitted correctly and works with the rest of your security setup from day one.
Abbco Locksmiths has operated in Sydney since 1964 and has been family-owned under brothers Stuart and Steve for more than 35 years. Our mobile team covers the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Sutherland Shire and South Sydney from our Botany shop, and keyless entry sits within our wider home security solutions.
Every job starts with an upfront written quote covering hardware, fitting and any integration work. No hidden fees, no after-hours surprises.
Which Type of Keyless Entry Is Right for You?
The right system comes down to the door, who needs access and how much control you want over it. Across Sydney, we commonly install five types.
Smart locks (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi)
Controlled with an app on your phone. Lock and unlock remotely, hand out digital keys, and see a log of who has come and gone. Best for households and businesses that want full control.
Keypad locks (PIN code)
Open with a code entered at the door, with no phone or app needed. Simple, reliable and easy for every age group, and a common first step away from carrying keys.
Biometric locks (fingerprint)
Open with a registered fingerprint, so there is nothing to carry and nothing to share. Suited to front doors and restricted rooms where access should be tied to specific people.
Card and fob systems
Tap a card or fob to enter. Quick to issue and just as quick to cancel, which makes them practical for offices, gyms and buildings with a changing set of users.
Combination systems
Most modern locks offer more than one method, such as a fingerprint with a backup PIN or app control with a physical key override. We match the mix to how the door is used.

Why Homes and Businesses Are Going Keyless
Keyless entry solves different problems at home and at work, so the setup we recommend follows how the door is used.
Homes
- Front door smart locks, garage and side gate access, and granny flat entries.
- Families stop carrying keys and getting locked out, and parents can see when the kids get home.
- Short-stay and Airbnb hosts hand each guest a code that works for the booking and expires at checkout, with no key handover and no lockbox on the fence.
- Rental owners can set a temporary code for tradespeople or a new tenant, and change it whenever needed.
Offices and strata
- Office entries, strata common areas, retail stock rooms and staff-only spaces.
- A lost key no longer means re-cutting a whole set, and when someone leaves, their access is cancelled rather than chasing up keys.
- App and card systems add an audit trail of who entered and when, useful for disputes, incidents and insurance.
- For strata, common-area access is managed without re-cutting keys for the whole building every time one goes missing.
A Smart Lock is only as good as its installation
A smart lock out of the box is only as good as the installation behind it. Correct fitting, integration and ongoing support are what turn the hardware into security you can rely on, and that is where an accredited locksmith matters.
- Correct fitting. A keyless lock only performs if the lock lines up, the door sits square, and the hardware suits the door’s thickness and material. A lock that is not fitted square will fail quickly and will not keep the door secure.
- Integration. Keyless entry works best when connected to the rest of your security. Most options link to an alarm system so a forced entry triggers a response, or to a CCTV camera system so every unlock is matched with footage of who opened the door. On larger sites with multiple users, keyless entry sits alongside access control and master key systems, giving you electronic and mechanical access together.
- Support. When you work with our team, we register the warranty, show you how to manage codes and users, and attend to the property if an emergency comes up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a keyless entry system?
It depends on the lock and the door. A single keypad deadbolt on a standard front door sits at the lower end, while app-controlled locks, biometric models and anything needing alarm or access control integration cost more, as does a door that needs prep first. We provide a written quote after assessing the door, covering hardware and fitting with nothing added later.
Can I add a keyless system to my existing front door?
In most cases, yes. Many keyless locks retrofit onto a standard door and replace the existing deadbolt or lockset. The deciding factors are the door’s thickness, the material and how the current lock is set up. We check the door during the quote and confirm what will fit before any spending.
Do smart locks work in a power outage?
Yes. Almost every smart lock we install runs on its own batteries rather than mains power, so a blackout does not lock you out. Many also keep a physical key override or emergency power contacts as a backup, and we explain the backup method for whichever lock you choose.
What happens if the battery dies?
Smart locks warn well before the battery goes flat, usually for weeks, through the app and a light or beep on the lock. If it does run out, you use the physical key override or, on some models, hold a 9-volt battery to the contacts to power it long enough to open. No lock we fit leaves anyone stranded.
Can a locksmith install a smart lock?
Yes, and a locksmith is the right tradesperson for it. We handle door prep, strike alignment and lock compatibility, then register the warranty and set up the codes. A clean install is the difference between a lock that runs for years and one that plays up within months, the same care we bring to our wider locksmith service.
Are smart locks secure?
A well-chosen smart lock from a reputable brand, fitted correctly, is as secure as a quality mechanical lock, and it adds controls that a key cannot, such as access logs and codes that can be cancelled in seconds. We fit hardware that holds up and set it up so the weak points are covered.
Are smart locks good for Airbnb and short-stay rentals?
They are one of the best upgrades a short-stay host can make. Each guest gets a code that works for their booking and expires at checkout, with no key handover, no lockbox and no copied key left floating around. You can also check remotely that the door is locked after they leave, with the same control across several properties.
