What's the Best Choice: Keyless Entry Systems vs. Traditional Locks?
In the modern era, the range of security options available is vast. Whether safeguarding your private residence or business premises, opting for a keyless entry system instead of traditional locks and keys is worth exploring. This article will explore both options, presenting their advantages and disadvantages.

Keyless Entry Systems – What Exactly Are They
A keyless entry system is a smart solution for when multiple people have the keys to a house or a commercial property, using a special code via which you enter the building. The code to the keypad can be changed if there’s ever a security breach.
Pros of Keyless Entry Systems
When choosing a keyless entry system, you’re allowing for an easier, more convenient operation – you do not need to carry around a key or have multiple people carry multiple keys, worry you forgot them somewhere, or have to pay for expensive replacements if someone loses them. You can control your keypad from anywhere, using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and decide who gets in and out of your house – even when you’re not there. In addition to that, a digital keypad with a code would be harder to break into than a regular lock.
Cons of Keyless Entry Systems
The cons of a keyless entry system most relate to the fact that it’s a smart digital pad. In case of a system malfunction, Wi-Fi issues, or any other technical difficulty, the keyless entry system could stop working or require a technician.
Traditional Locking Systems
We are all acquainted with traditional locking systems – the key and lock every house used to have until a few years ago.
Pros of Traditional Locking Systems
The pros of a more traditional lock and key system are it is very easy to use, and do not require any special demonstrations or explaining, as they’re very straightforward and commonly used among people of all ages. In addition to that, seeing as a regular lock and key are not dependent on electricity or Wi-Fi, they will function normally even when there are technical issues.
Cons of Traditional Locking Systems
Which one of us hadn’t lost a key at some point? It is a very common thing to happen and is even more common among kids and elderly people. Furthermore, some high-end locks require specially made keys which are expensive to replace.
How To Choose What’s Right For You?
In order to decide what would be the best fit for your life, your home, or your business, you should consider the steps below:
Understanding Your Routine
What does your routine require? Do you have kids who might forget or lose their key, meaning a keyless sentry system is the right choice for you? Do you live with an elderly person who might find a digital pad difficult to get used to?
Deciding On a Budget
Different types of locking systems have different price points. When in search of the perfect system for your needs, decide on a budget and see which products fit within said budget.
Consulting a Professional Locksmith
When it comes to critical decisions like selecting a keyless entry system for your home or business, there's no room for uncertainty. Consulting with a professional locksmith near me ensures that you'll make the most informed choice possible, drawing upon the expertise, insights, and experiences of a qualified locksmith.
When choosing a keyless entry system for your home or business, you can have multiple people entering the door without having to worry about sets of keys; you can control it from afar, have the code changed as needed, and enjoy a more high-end solution to the safety of your property. To choose the right one for you, contact a professional locksmith.

Exploring the Advantages of Keyless Entry Systems
Tumblr media
In today's fast-paced world, technology has revolutionized nearly every aspect of our lives, including how we secure our homes and businesses.
Keyless entry systems have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional key-and-lock mechanisms, offering convenience, security, and peace of mind. In this article, we will delve into the various advantages of keyless entry systems and how they are reshaping the landscape of access control.
Enhanced Security:
One of the primary benefits of keyless entry systems is enhanced security. Unlike traditional keys that can be lost, stolen, or duplicated, keyless entry systems rely on advanced authentication methods such as PIN codes, biometric scans, or proximity cards.
These authentication methods are more difficult to compromise, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your property. Additionally, keyless entry systems often feature audit trails, allowing you to monitor who enters and exits your premises and when, enhancing overall security measures.
Convenience and Accessibility:
Keyless entry systems offer unparalleled convenience and accessibility compared to traditional keys. With keyless entry systems, there is no need to fumble through your pockets or purse searching for keys.
Instead, you can simply enter a PIN code, scan your fingerprint, or wave a proximity card to gain access. This streamlined process is especially beneficial for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities, as it eliminates the need to physically manipulate keys to unlock doors.
Flexibility and Customization:
Another advantage of keyless entry systems is their flexibility and customization options. These systems can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of homeowners and businesses.
Whether you require access control for a single entry point or multiple access points across a large facility, keyless entry systems can be configured to accommodate your requirements. Additionally, many keyless entry systems offer remote access capabilities, allowing you to control and monitor your security system from anywhere using a smartphone or computer.
Improved Efficiency and Productivity:
Keyless entry systems can significantly improve efficiency and productivity in various settings, including commercial offices, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities. By eliminating the need for physical keys, keyless entry systems streamline access control processes, reducing waiting times and minimizing disruptions.
Employees can quickly and securely access authorized areas, allowing them to focus on their tasks without unnecessary delays. Moreover, keyless entry systems can integrate with other systems such as time and attendance tracking software, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Cost-Effectiveness:
While keyless entry systems may require an initial investment, they offer long-term cost-effectiveness compared to traditional lock-and-key systems. Traditional keys can be lost, stolen, or damaged, resulting in the need for costly replacements and rekeying services.
In contrast, keyless entry systems eliminate the ongoing expense of key management and rekeying, saving both time and money in the long run. Additionally, keyless entry systems can be easily reprogrammed or deactivated, reducing the need for costly locksmith services when access needs to be modified.
Keyless entry systems represent a significant advancement in access control technology, offering a wide range of benefits including enhanced security, convenience, flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you are a homeowner looking to upgrade your home security or a business owner seeking to improve access control measures, keyless entry systems provide a modern and effective solution. By exploring the advantages of keyless entry systems, you can make informed decisions about implementing these innovative security solutions in your home or business.

Assorted papercraft Harrows! I love this Gloom Mistress so much. 💀
It's always interesting to make several versions of a papercraft - I'm very picky about what papers I use, and tend to get hung up on which pattern combo will be "the best." That works fine for one-off artworks like commissions, but when making multiple versions of a piece, I can't do that! So I end up combining patterns I wouldn't normally have thought of, and getting to enjoy the unique feeling of each one.
Which Harrow is your favorite, lovelies?

Extremely niche comparison but the plot of The Locked Tomb is so similar to what a Mechanisms album about the bible would conceivably look like.

Can we talk about Juno Zeta?
You're living the dream, Master Archivist of the Sixth House. The Archaeology department hates you. The secretaries love you. Your son has risen to the very top of the absolutely unproblematic meritocracy of the House to become Master Warden. Sure, you treated him as a colleague when he was 7 too, but this is much more intellectually satisfying and much better for your publication record (suck it, Archeo). You sit on the Oversight Body, making decisions for the 3 million strong House of the Sixth.
Then the Master Warden gets summoned by god to become a Lyctor. (No civilian has seen a Lyctor for thousands of years. But the information you do have speaks of astonishing power. Are you intrigued? Do you regard it as an even more stellar opportunity for the Master Warden? Do Lyctors have access to interesting material for the archives? Does the possibility of your son becoming an immortal finger and gesture of god ever feel strange?)
A few months later, some fragments come back in a box. There's nothing left of Camilla at all. No one will tell you anything. Every House but the Third and the Ninth has lost its head or heir (the poor girl your son loved is dead. You're never going to get another overly-formal letter from the Fifth begging for Lyctoral documents from your archive.)
Then the Master Warden makes contact from beyond the grave to tell you that the saintly founder of your House left a plan in place in case it ever became necessary to betray god. He tells you why god should be betrayed.
Suddenly, the Oversight Body has to make a decision. To take your home and 3 million people away from the Dominicus System (away from its thanergetic soil, no more necromancers will ever be born). To break the contract of tenderness made on the day of the Resurrection. Do you have time to call back your soldiers in the Cohort? Do you have to leave them behind? Has the Oversight Body ever felt unanimously about something before? And how frank can you be with the House? You have visiting scholars from almost every House, and who knows where the Bureau have eyes and ears.
There are calculations to make. How to transport a whole House? How do you work out that it takes five hundred and thirty-two obselisks? That there are deleterious effects past five hundred and sixty? How do you find a stele that would anchor such a big thanergy transition? (Only the Fifth make stele. Do you try to do it yourselves? Who do you trust on the Fifth to help with that? Is that why Kester Cinque left Koniortos?)
The Master Warden, who is dead, lives inside the body of Camilla, who is not. He picks you - in your capacity as Master Archivist - to be one of the negotiators. How do you integrate 3 million people into a completely alien society with whom your people have been at war for millennia? How does negotiating with terrorists feel compared to academic committees?
What happens then? One day you just...lose it? The sun rises too bright and too blue and you are in agony, unconnected from yourself, screaming and writhing. And when the thing in the sky is at its furthest orbit from you, in some exhausted moment of clarity, you nearly kill yourself using necromancy to restore your sanity. You blind yourself. Do you think beyond that moment? As someone who deals in documents and artefacts and forms in triplicate, do you mourn your sight alongside everything else you have lost? Your son, your home, your god, your sanity...
And now you are a hostage. Sixteen of you in the back of a sweltering truck, held at gunpoint, always moving. The only thing keeping you alive is the possibility of selling you back to the empire that you've betrayed. Your captors have signed a 'no torture' clause, and perhaps they do stick to that. You're needed for providing proof of life and are probably better off than most. But it's too hot, there's not enough water, you can't see, and the only way out is either that the Master Warden gives Blood of Eden a Lyctor or being released to the mercies of the Kindly Prince. You sit in the dark and do mental maths with each other to stay sane.
Somehow, the Master Warden has done it. Without a Lyctor, he's turned his own cell commander against her fellows and you have been released. Most of the Oversight Body can't even walk out of the truck without help. But you're free, and the Master Warden - now in the stolen body of a Lyctor's cavalier - has the sort of mad scheme only he could come up with. Those mental maths will come in handy. The cell commander isn't bad either...
You can't see your son die again (the last time he speaks to you, from that borrowed body, he calls you 'mum' instead of 'Master Archivist'). But you can smell Camilla’s flesh burn. Perhaps the Commander, holding your arm, describes it to you. You follow this new person, your child, now something else, back into the truck where you were held captive and watch as they drive it into the River.
The Tomb is open. Your child is part of a being of strange and unimaginable power. The House Formerly Known as Sixth is on the other side of the universe. You are on the Ninth with a dead cavalier in the body of her necromancer, the Emperor’s construct, legions of demons, and a very mysterious dog...
Anyway, I'm very excited to see what havoc Juno gets to cause in ATN. She's there to be snarky, do psychometry, and be a romanceable MILF. Let her yell at god. And for goodness sake, let her get some peace at the end.

I think it would be very neat if the Ninth House had a tradition of lacemaking. After all, Harrow’s ceremonial clothes are often described as having lace, and lacemaking has historically been the domain of nunneries. Plus, I imagine the focus and rigor of bobbin lace would fit very well with making skeleton constructs, and be a good way for non-necromantic acolytes to practice devotion when not in prayer. So, imagine the Ninth House developing a huge (and widely profitable) tradition of intricate lacemaking for ceremonial garments, grave goods, and fine clothing for the rest of the Dominicus system.
