Many modern homes may come equipped with a control panel on the side of the house with keypads, this is essentially a secure way of accessing the house, and it works similarly to many workplaces, where a code let’s an individual have access to open the door, but it will still require a key when the keypad is unlocked.

It can be seen as extreme high security, but it can certainly be extremely useful. These control panels tend to control heavy duty doors, with a discrete metal frame yet on the outside the door may only look very standard and typical.

If you have a digital security control on the side of your house, it’s important to make sure you password is kept secret, whilst some of the latest developments have seen many of these controls incorporate fingerprint sensors.
