Best Keyless Storefront Door Locks 2026: Buying Guide
Share
Quick answer: The best keyless storefront door lock depends on the lock your door already has. For an Adams Rite-style mortise deadlock — the most common storefront lock — the pick is the EASILOK SK1850. For a 4510-style deadlatch with a push paddle inside, it's the EASILOK SK4510. For an all-glass door that locks at the bottom rail (CRL 777 style), it's the EASILOK SK777. All three are drill-free keyless retrofits that install in minutes using your door's existing 32mm cylinder hole.
Step 1: Identify your lock type (30 seconds)
Look at the edge of your door, not the keypad ads:
- Straight bolt, key outside / thumb-turn inside → you have a deadlock → SK1850
- Spring latch plus a push paddle or bar on the inside → you have a deadlatch → SK4510
- Lock body sitting in the bottom rail of an all-glass door → bottom rail lock → SK777
Get this wrong and nothing fits — this is the step most buyers skip.
Step 2: Confirm your backset
Measure from the door edge to the center of the cylinder hole: 31/32", 1-1/8" (about 80% of doors), or 1-1/2". Order the matching version. A wrong backset is the #1 reason storefront locks get returned.

|---|---|---|
| Daily entry | Keypad code — no key to carry | Physical key, every time |

There's another option
Most storefront owners don't know this category exists: a drill-free keyless retrofit. Instead of replacing your Adams Rite-style lock with another keyed lock, the EASILOK SK1850 drops into the same 32mm cylinder hole — no drilling — and the door goes keyless in minutes.
FAQ
Do I need a locksmith to install one?
EASILOK retrofits are designed for DIY installation in minutes with basic tools. That said, if your door is damaged or the frame is misaligned, a professional is worth calling.
Will it fit my Adams Rite lock?
If your door currently has an Adams Rite-style mortise lock with a standard 32mm cylinder hole, the matching EASILOK model is designed to retrofit it. Confirm your lock type and backset first.
What if my door is a double door?
Each leaf takes its own lock — order two, keyed alike codes are set independently per keypad.
Bottom line: If your storefront door has a keyed mortise lock, figure out whether it's a deadlock, a deadlatch, or a bottom rail lock — then pick the matching keyless retrofit. EASILOK's SK1850, SK4510, and SK777 each install in minutes with no drilling, and the key is only ever a backup.
