What Are Smart Locks?

Your door lock is one of the most important security features of your home or business. While the same designs have been around for centuries, we live in the modern world. Security has changed and people are more connected than ever before. Smart door locks provide the answer, with features designed for today’s on-the-go lifestyle.

How Do Smart Locks Work?

Smart locks are electronic door locks that use WiFi or Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device. This connection replaces the need for a physical key. Instead, you can wave your hand, tap your finger or even issue a verbal command to lock or unlock the door. Many smart lock systems also feature the option to control locks using an app, which lets you manage security even if you’re away from the door or off the property.

Why Use Smart Locks?

While smart locks vary in design, they all have several advantages in common. You stand to gain numerous benefits with professional smart lock installation for your home or business, including:

• Convenient access: With smart locks, you can say goodbye to fumbling with keys and standing out in the rain. A simple interaction or command is all that’s necessary to lock or unlock the door, making it easy for you to get in and out — even if your hands are full.
• Remote capability: Smart locks typically have mobile applications that let you operate your lock even if you aren’t close to the door. You can set a lock you forgot to activate, allow a guest in without getting up and grant passcodes to friends and family using touch-free connectivity.
• Better security: Smart door locks are strong and provide an excellent visible deterrent against criminals. Many locks also feature small cameras that provide a live feed you can view through the mobile app. With these cameras, you can see what’s going on and recording the people coming to your door no matter where you are.
