If you have a pool in your backyard or you’re in charge of managing a pool area in a residential community, you’re probably well aware of how important it is to keep the property secure. Unfortunately, the average pool gate latch is simply not robust enough to do the job, as they are often all too easy to unlock. If you haven’t yet considered installing a keyless lock on your pool gate, below are three good reasons why you should.
Let’s face it – as much as we would like to believe that everyone is willing to play by the rules, common sense (and countless police reports) will quickly prove otherwise. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for trespassers, freeloaders and other unsavory characters to gain unauthorized access to pool areas, especially in apartment complexes and other residential communities that feature these types of amenities.
Just as a small example, here’s a complaint posted by a resident of an apartment complex in Winter Park, Florida after witnessing a group of freeloaders not only gaining unauthorized access to the community pool but bringing all of their pool party supplies with them! By installing a keyless lock on the pool gate, you can ensure that only residents who have been assigned a user code will be able to obtain access to the pool.
A pool gate with a sub-par locking mechanism can be easily compromised, making it difficult for you to secure your property. For example, if you choose a gate lock that only locks on one side, it’s no problem at all for a would-be trespasser to simply reach over the gate and unlock it from the inside. A much better choice would be to install a double-sided keyless lock such as the Lockey M210DC, and Lockey 2835DC which features a two-sided keypad that enables you to lock the gate from the inside as well.
Using this lock, you have the option to make the interior and exterior user codes the same or different – it’s totally up to you. So whether you’re in charge of securing access to a community pool or you’re simply trying to keep the neighborhood kids out of your own pool, installing a double-sided keyless lock can go a long way towards improving the security of your property and protecting your privacy.
According to statistics published by the United States federal government, the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1-14 is fatal drowning. You would be surprised at how many of these unfortunate accidents happened as a result of a child wandering into a pool area unsupervised. If a pool gate does not feature a robust locking mechanism, it can be easy for a child to figure out how to open it, but a keyless lock is virtually guaranteed to keep curious children from gaining access to a pool area.
As you can see, there are quite a few good reasons to consider using keyless gate locks to secure your pool. If you’re ready to enjoy a greater level of protection, privacy and peace of mind for your property, go ahead and make the decision to go keyless!
