Push Button Door Lock

What Are Push Button Locks?

A push button lock is a mechanical locking device that requires the correct sequence of buttons to be pressed in order to gain entry. It eliminates the need for traditional keys, reducing the risk of lost or duplicated keys. Typically made of heavy-duty materials such as zinc alloy or stainless steel, these locks are designed to withstand both tampering and environmental wear.

Unlike smart locks or electronic locks that rely on wiring or power, mechanical models from Lockey Digital operate independently of batteries. That means zero downtime and minimal maintenance.

How Do They Work?

Push button locks use a combination code, which can be programmed during installation and changed as needed. Users simply press a sequence of pre-set buttons to unlock the door. Once the correct code is entered, the latch retracts, granting access.

For added security, many models include a passage function that allows temporary unrestricted access when needed. Some versions also feature auto-locking after each use or allow you to add a key override as an optional feature.

Benefits Over Traditional Locks

Why choose a push button solution instead of a standard keyed lock? The answer comes down to control, convenience, and long-term savings.

Without needing to distribute physical keys, administrators can simply share the access code. If security is ever compromised, updating the code is a fast and cost-effective way to restore control—no need for costly locksmith visits or lock replacements.

Ideal Applications and Use Cases

Lockey Digital’s range covers solutions for both light and heavy-duty needs. From internal doors in office spaces to perimeter gates and sheds, push button locks can be found in a wide variety of settings.

Common use cases include:

• School and campus maintenance doors
• Locker rooms and storage units
• Residential entryways
• Commercial back doors
• Gates and outdoor enclosures
• Tool sheds and utility boxes

Design & Build Quality

Every Lockey Digital lock is crafted with precision. Many models are finished in satin chrome, marine-grade stainless steel, or weather-resistant coatings, ensuring they stay functional in demanding environments. The internal mechanisms are crafted to resist picking and forced entry, with optional upgrades for added latch protection.

Mechanically engineered for long life, these locks are built without the fragile electronics that can fail under pressure or time.

How to Choose the Right Model

With several options in the Lockey Digital lineup, selecting the right product depends on the application and level of security required. Consider the following when choosing:

• Location: Interior or exterior?
• Access frequency: Will multiple users need daily access?
• Latch type: Spring latch, deadbolt, or hook bolt?
• Size constraints: For lockers or cabinets, compact models are available.

For Doors
Opt for locks with backsets compatible with your current door prep. Lockey Digital’s offerings fit standard door sizes and are often adjustable.

For Cabinets & Lockers
Compact keypad locks work well in areas where space is limited but access control remains essential.
