When it comes to securing your property and controlling access, the choice between digital locks and traditional locks is more important than ever. With advancements in access control technology, homeowners and business owners alike are rethinking what it means to keep their spaces safe, convenient, and future-ready. At Borg Locks, we’ve spent decades engineering solutions that blend robust security with everyday practicality. So, which lock is right for you? Let’s break down the differences, benefits, and features—especially those that set Borg Locks apart.
These are the classic pin tumbler or rim locks that require a physical key to operate. They’ve been the standard for centuries, offering reliable security at a relatively low upfront cost. However, they come with familiar drawbacks: lost keys, lockouts, and the hassle of rekeying when security is compromised.
Also known as keyless or combination locks, digital locks use a keypad or mechanism to grant access; no physical key is required. Some models, like those from Borg Locks US, are fully mechanical, requiring no batteries or wiring.
With a digital combination lock there’s no more fumbling for keys or worrying about lost copies of keys. With a digital lock, you simply enter a code to gain access. This is especially useful for families, businesses with multiple employees, or rental properties where access needs to be shared and managed securely.
Access control needs change often, and that’s why we think your lock code should too. Borg Locks US’ unique Easicode Pro technology allows you to change your lock’s access code directly on the door in as little as ten seconds, without removing the lock or tumblers. This is a game-changer for businesses and homes that require frequent code updates, such as after staff changes or guest stays.
Not all digital locks are created equal when it comes to durability. Borg Locks US’ Marine Grade Pro (MG Pro) finishes are engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions, from salty coastal air to heavy rain. Salt spray tested to over 1,000 hours, these digital locks are ideal for external doors, gates, and high-traffic commercial areas, ensuring your control access solution stands the test of time.
From garden gates to fire-rated commercial doors, Borg Locks US offers a wide range of digital locks tailored to every application. Our products are designed by experienced engineers and manufactured to the highest standards, with expert support and comprehensive documentation available for every model.
However, traditional locks can be less secure if keys are lost or copied, and rekeying can be time-consuming and costly. For businesses or busy households, managing multiple keys quickly becomes a logistical headache. That’s why a digital lock from Borg Locks US can be a real game changer.
Every Borg Lock product is designed for simplicity, reliability, and security. Our Easicode Pro range makes code changes in situ effortless, while our Marine Grade Pro finishes ensure your digital lock looks and works like new, year after year.
Enjoy the freedom of keyless entry, with the added peace of mind that comes from optional key override features on select lock models; perfect for backup access control or managing multiple locks.
Choosing the right lock can be daunting. Our team is here to help you select the perfect lock solution for your access control needs, whether you’re securing a home, business, or specialized facility.
