Keyed lever locks, keyed knob locks, keypad locks that require you to have a code, card swipe locks and proximity reader locks. Keyed lever locksets are the most common and are available at most hardware stores including the big box guys. They are unlocked and relocked using a key.

Keyless locks have either a keypad or a proximity reader or a card swipe reader. All quality keyless locks will have a key override option available if you loose the card, proximity card or fob, or can’t remember the code for the keypad model.
