What are the Benefits of Smart Locks?
Smart locks offer a variety of benefits which make them the perfect choice for homeowners, businesses and landlords, seeking to improve security and accessibility around their properties.
Enhanced Security
Smart locks offer a variety of security features which go beyond anything traditional locks can offer:
- Encryption Technology:
Advanced encryption protocols make it virtually impossible for hackers to compromise your lock. - Auto-Locking:
Most smart locks will automatically secure your door after a set period of time, ensuring your property is never accidentally left unlocked. - Tamper Alerts:
Receive instant notifications to your smartphone if someone attempts to tamper with the lock. - Audit Trails:
Track who enters and leaves your property, with detailed logs provided via the lock’s app.
Keyless Entry
Smart locks totally eliminate the need for physical keys, reducing the risk of losing keys or requiring replacements. For families, landlords, or Airbnb establishments, this feature offers enhanced convenience that simplifies access control. Property access can be granted in the following ways:
- Smartphone apps
- Keypad codes
- Fingerprint scanners
- RFID cards or keyfobs
Remote Access and Control
Smart locks, provide you with the ability to lock and unlock your doors remotely via your smartphone. This unique feature is particularly useful for:
- Ensuring your property is secure after leaving home
- Allowing access to guests while you’re away
- Providing temporary access for cleaners or contractors without them requiring a physical key
Customisable Access
Smart locks offer you the option to create unique access codes for different users. For example:
- Family members can have permanent codes
- Cleaners, babysitters, neighbours, dog walkers etc. can be provided with temporary or one-time-use codes. This ensures you maintain full control over who is accessing your property and when at all times.
Integration with Smart Home Systems
Smart locks are compatible with a whole host of smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Apple and Google Assistant. This integration provides you with the ability to lock or unlock doors using voice commands and/or automate your home’s security system for added convenience.
Emergency Access Solutions
If you forget your phone or your battery dies, many smart locks include an emergency backup option such as:
- Mechanical key override
- Emergency power ports so you can connect a portable battery. These additional features ensure you never find yourself locked out, even during a technical issue.
