It might come to a surprise, but majority buyer still thought we’re the one who do the programming for digital lock (only for Kuching, maybe?). So if they want to change pin-code or cards or fingerprints, they have to call us.

Which is really not the case. Digital lock nowadays are designed to be set-up and programmed by the owner themselves.  You can change your pin code everyday if you want. You only need to know certain steps which is fairly easy to do. We’ve taught a 65 years-old man how to do it, and up to now he has no problem to change the access mode. It’s very user friendly and easy to operate.

For that, after installation, we will spend some time to teach the owner how to program, change and delete access, and how to read the manual if they forget what we’ve taught them.

So worry not! You don’t have to call us everyday. (And we don’t want you to call us everyday!)

To recommend the best lock for houseowner, locksmiths always need to stay updated.

This year’s SECUREX expose us to many many latest electronic locks. In the photo is the CEO of Keywe himself explaining his vision and direction for the company.

European brand as well, starts to venture into electronics locking.

We can easily see there is where the future is headed to. By that time, locksmithing is not only about security, but also on convenience.

In fact, right now, almost all our high end client already start using electronic lock.

How about you? Ever think of changing to a smarter lock?

This broken mortise belongs to one quite famous digital lock company in Korea. Some Korean company make really durable and long lasting lock. But not this. Milre.

Even though we ourself did sell Milre also, but we will clearly explain to our client the pros and cons. Milre has some unique advantages over others, like twice longer battery life and really really competitive price.

On the downside, however, it is not built to last really long. This is not a problem in Korea, as Korean changes their digital lock quite often even before break down, in order to stay in trend.

But in Malaysia, we will use our digital door lock and squeeze everything out of it until it totally break down or lock us out. And for Milre, it will happen quite fast. How do we know this? Up to now, Milre brand is the highest number of servicing and lock-break that we’ve performed.

(1) Majority component is Zinc Diecast, which is quite fragile. Upon any impact, diecast don’t bent or get dented. They just break apart. (2) And the switching component uses a lot of AB flip switch, which is known for less durabilityas compared to press switch. (3) Lastly the deadbolt mechanism is designed to be dependent on latch action for locking instead of motor. This uses really a lot of gear (zinc diecast) and higher possibility of failure.

Of course, not to say every unit is the same. If you happen to be lucky, or maybe if you use the milre in a really soft and careful way, it will still last quite long. But if you’re just “standard-lucky”, or use your lock in a typical Malaysian way, probably be good to put our number in your wallet.

Sometimes you just have some area that you need to lock even though there is nothing important inside. Like dog cages, kids barrier, etc. And if those area are not exposed to direct rain, you tend to get just some cheaper padlocks.

Problem is, if you have several of those padlocks, you will have whole bunch of keys.

We locksmiths understand your problem. That’s why, even for cheaper padlocks, there are products that can be programmed into one-key-open all, so that you won’t have to keep and label dozens and dozens of keys.

Just like you, couple of our own staffs use digital lock at our own house. We know the kind of response that it brings to our visitors.

Whenever a family or friends (especially with kids) we always heard they “wow look at this lock!”, Or the kids will say “wow mommy look at this lock!”. And they will start asking multiple questions.

We might think digital lock is pretty common nowadays, but that’s not true for Kuching. Actually it’s still far far away from being common. It’s still very rare and only a few privileged people started to use it.

As an owner ourself, we know the feeling of using one. It’s special. It feels cool. Like Tony Stark. And it feels safe that we will not forget to lock our door anymore.

What a weird thing that just a lock can give us such a feeling. No wonder it’s getting trendy globally.

You’re looking to get a digital door lock. What’s the purpose?

We’re not 100% sure about you, but majority of our client look forward to manage their time better, and for convenience. The time wasted to look for keys, or making a return trip just to check if you forgot to lock your main door, are a simple waste of time.

But we give you caution here: if you get a digital lock with low quality, it will give you more headache than convenience. You will have to waste even more time to service it, get locked out, waiting for locksmith to come, etc etc etc.

Among the factors to look at are: material (more plastic or metal?), experience (new manufacturer or experienced), electronic part (processing speed, mobo quality) and locking mechanism.

So before deciding on digital lock, get a neutral and experienced advice. And don’t put your trust in brand name alone. Digital lock is still a new technology for every company. So even good brand are still testing it and might run into a lot of problems.
