How do electronic locks work?

These devices have a motor inside. They use electricity to run and a specially designed mechanism to push the bolt into the door jamb during locking and to withdraw it during unlocking. Given that the motor does the work, there is no need to use a physical key. You have to enter a code using the numeric pad to unlock the door.

Does a deadbolt offer more security compared to a spring bolt lock?

Deadbolts are more resistant to forceful entry. There are also models which can be locked from the inside to provide higher protection when you are at home. Their resistance to picking, however, depends primarily on the pin system used inside, according to our professionals. Cylinders with six pins are harder to pick than those with five.
