Digital locks have many advantages, but can take some getting used to and it is a matter of personal taste. They do not require a key, which can be easily forgotten or lost and separate keys need to be cut for each individual who needs access to the property. However, if you forget the pin you could become locked out after all. Both types of lock have benefits and drawbacks and it is up to the individual to decide your preference, but a locksmith can provide helpful advice tailored to suit your own needs.
