Benefits of Smart Lock

Enhanced Security
One of the main benefits of smart door locks is the enhanced level of security to safeguard your home. Our old-school locks can be easily picked, broken, or even forced open, leaving your home open and ready for crimes and break-ins. On the other hand, smart door locks run on advanced encryption technology, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access and carry out crimes. Most of the brands have come up with smart locks that have a built-in alarm system that goes on when someone attempts unauthorized entry, helping you get rid of potential burglars.

 

Keyless Entry
Say goodbye to the hassle of handling and remembering your keys for various entry points. Smart door locks do not need any traditional keys at all. Instead as discussed before, you can effortlessly unlock your door using different digital access methods such as a smartphone app, a unique access code, or even your fingerprint. An entry through this security tech equipment ensures that you'll never be locked out or trapped. Moreover, this keyless benefit also helps you allow access to visitors or service providers even when you're away.

 

Remote Access and Control
With smart door locks, you can seamlessly and effortlessly control your home's security from anywhere. It won't be an issue at all if you forget to lock the door at any point in time! All you need to do then is share the code or allow access from the app if you need someone to enter and you're not there. When you open the app you can monitor access logs, receive real-time notifications, and grant temporary access to guests, family members, or delivery men while you're away.

 

Smart Home System Integration
There has been a great evolution in smart door locks too, like other home devices. Nowadays smart door locks are designed to integrate seamlessly with other smart home devices and systems. By connecting your smart lock to the main server, you can create customized schedules for the home security device. For example, when you say "Goodnight," your smart home system can automatically lock all the doors and turn off the lights, ensuring your home is secure and energy-efficient.

 

Access tracking
Unlike traditional locks, smart door locks offer a detailed log of access activity. This feature can be immensely helpful for families, landlords, or businesses. You can easily track when each one of them entered or exited the premises, providing an extra layer of security and accountability.

 

Access sharing and Entry Management
Smart door locks allow you to set up temporary access for individuals, so you don't have to share keys or even be there. All you need to do is set up a temporary unique code active for a specific time and share it with a frequent visitor or house help. If there's an entry intimidation from a unique individual then you can allow access from the app itself. You can deactivate the temporary security code or even decline access as you feel a threat.

How Does a Smart Lock Work?

One thing you know for sure: with a smart lock, you ensure a 100% keyless life. Because you use your phone, a PIN or a remote control to open the door. And do you have to grab your phone every time you open the door? No way, at least not if you have a Smart Lock. Then just keep that phone in your pocket. Because there is a friend who is always there for you, and his name is Bluetooth. In the app, you turn on the auto-activation function with ease. Your Smart Lock recognises you and activates itself as soon as you get home. Do you activate the 'auto-activation'? Then the lock will recognise you as soon as you enter the 200-metre zone. Does your lock then open immediately? No. Your lock only opens when you stand in front of your door. So you avoid having to search for your key (or phone) with your hands full of stuff. And it remains safe to use this function.

 

And if your phone is empty? No worries. With your PIN, you can easily enter your home or office even without your phone. Enter your 5-digit code by turning the outside knob - just like a bank safe - and you're in. And is your phone completely lost or broken? Don't panic. Log in on another phone. Because then you automatically log out on the device that is lost, broken or empty. It's much safer.

 

Do I Really Need a Smart Lock?

 

Not only can smart locks offer safety and security, but they can offer immense convenience as well. If any of the following scenarios (or something like them) has ever applied to you, it might be time to start looking into a smart lock.

 

Scenario 1: You keep a hide-a-key under your doormat. It's there in case you forget your keys or a friend needs to stop by your house and pick something up for you. In the back of your mind is the fear that if anyone wanted to break into your house, they'd simply need to find that key under the mat.

 

Scenario 2: You rent out space. Whenever a new guest checks in, you have to arrange a time to meet them in person to give them the keys and make sure you get the keys back when they check out. It's sometimes difficult to work it into an already busy schedule.

 

Scenario 3: At least once a week, you find yourself trying to remember if you locked the door as you drive to work. Maybe you even turn around and go back home to check and make sure. Or perhaps you settle comfortably in bed at night before suddenly wondering the same thing, ultimately having to get back up and check.

 

Scenario 4: You've come home only to realize your door was unlocked the entire time you were gone because you completely forgot about it.

 

If you want the peace of mind and convenience to be able to check and control your door lock from anywhere and are beginning to realize the multitude of ways your life could be simplified by a smart door lock, it might be time to invest in one.

 

Having one will allow you to set unique access codes to tell who is coming and going. If integrated with a smart doorbell camera, you can even unlock your door remotely when a delivery driver arrives with a package to have them place it safely inside. And the keyless entry capabilities are particularly useful if you have a rental space or frequent guests.

 

 

Can Smart Locks Be Hacked?

You might be wondering whether smart locks that connect to the internet are susceptible to hacking. The answer is yes. Anything that connects to the internet can be hacked. But before you panic, rest assured that it will take concerted effort for someone to gain entry without having the code. There are three main ways a Wi-Fi keyless door lock could be compromised.

 

The first is a breach of your household Wi-Fi. To access the smart lock this way, the hacker will have to be in proximity to the lock itself. Alternatively, also from close range, they can try listening in to the Bluetooth communication with the lock (if your lock uses Bluetooth). From a greater distance, a hacker will have to break into your phone's lock app. You make yourself vulnerable to this if you do not keep the app and the phone's operating and security software updated.

Where Would You Use a Smart Lock?

 

 

You can use a smart lock anywhere that you would a traditional lock, for example residential houses and flats. Some useful information is available on smart locks at business premises:
· Smart locks at commercial and retail units
· Smart locks at offices
· Smart locks at shared spaces
· Smart locks for Short Lets / Airbnbs / Serviced Accommodation.

 

Of course, depending upon the use case, there will be greater or lesser advantages to having a smart lock solution installed.

 

For example, if you manage an office building or commercial building, there are substantial benefits to having a smart lock solution, with a rapid return on investment - taking into account time invested, cost of other solutions, ease of administering, etc.

 

Equally, with a shared space or Airbnb / Short Let, a smart lock can give you the freedom and flexibility to securely manage access to your venue / property remotely, which obviously provides numerous financial and lifestyle benefits.

 

Once installed, using the smart lock provides additional benefits to both users of the system and those managing access.

How Safe Are Smart Locks?

Very safe. You can connect your smart lock with your home security system, so you can see who's at the door or automatically lock it any time your cameras detect motion.

 

Smart locks also give you more control over who can enter your home and how. Instead of handing out spare keys, smart locks let you create different access codes for different people, so you can track who's coming and going (neighbors, the dog walker, babysitters), and revoke that access anytime.

 

What Factors Should I Consider Before Installing Smart Lock?
 

Things to keep in mind before installing the smart door lock:

Door Thickness and Backset

The thickness of your door is a crucial factor in determining smart lock compatibility. A common door thickness of 1 3/8 to 2 inches is what most smart locks are made for. Additionally, the backset—the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the hole where the lock is installed—must align with the smart lock specifications.

Existing Lock Type

Evaluate the existing lock type on your door. The most popular kind of locks that work with smart locks are deadbolt locks. If your door has a mortise lock or another locking mechanism, you might need to consider retrofitting or replacing it with a deadbolt to accommodate the smart lock.

Power Supply

The best smart locks require a consistent power supply, typically through batteries. Ensure that the smart lock you choose has a reliable battery life and easy access for replacement. Some advanced models offer alternative power sources, such as solar panels or rechargeable batteries.

Connectivity

For remote access and smart home integration, connectivity options are vital. Most smart locks use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Z-Wave to connect to your smartphone or home automation system. Ensure that your home's connectivity infrastructure supports the smart lock's requirements.
