Welcome to ‘Dave says…’ – our series of essential tips and advice from the owner and operator of Eastern Bays Mobile Locksmiths – Your local locksmiths Living and Working in the Auckland Eastern Suburbs.

“If your digital lock has an override key, keep it in a safe place that you will remember “

“When choosing a digital lock, it is preferable to have two entrances into the dwelling. The second entrance should have key access so this can be picked open if the digital lock faults or the batteries run down.”

“Not every digital will fit over existing hardware. Get in touch with us – we’re happy to advise what will work.”

” Digital locks are great for people who don’t want to carry keys, like runners or cyclists, or people who might not be so careful with keys – like teenagers! “

“Digital Locks do not suit every door – especially on older houses. Happy to advise what will work.”

“Not every digital will fit over existing hardware. Happy to advise what will work.”

“Remember your Master Code – keep it in a safe place”
