Has anyone had experience with the reliability of Shlage (or other brands) electronic locks (the ones with a keypad entry) in high humidity environments (like the the Southeast Coast of the U.S.)?

We have an old Schlage key lock on one of our office doors, and it is locked without a key. I don’t mind destroying the lock, and I wonder if I can open the lock by drilling into it with a drill.
Any advice, please?

A number of security products companies, such as Schlage Locks, produce interconnected locks which are suitable for a variety of commercial applications.

I’ve installed two Schlage door locks and with both when locking with the key, the outside knob locks, but the inside know still turns. When locking from the inside, again the outside knob is locked, but the inside one still turns. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling a dozen times with no success.

A business owner has a lot riding on his or her store.

Few inventors have made such significant contributions to modern industry as Walter Schlage.

I need to get a new door lock for a medical facility and the ones that we have are keypad/lever locks from Schlage. I saw some at Lowes for cheap but I dont think they are commercial grade like the rest of the ones we have. What is the difference between commercial and residential locks? My facility manager wants to keep it cheap and go with the residential one. Which one would serve us best and what is the difference.
