Smart locks make life easier when you want to share access to a secure space. With a smart door lock, you can share access without handing out copies of your key and without needing to be present upon someone’s arrival. Plus, they can be used independently or added to a smart home security system or smart home set-up.
There are keyless entry door locks for both doorknobs and deadbolts, and there are a few different tech options for the lock mechanism. Many electronic door locks include a keypad so that you can program a code for entry (and update it as often as you want). There are also digital door locks that use a biometric reading, such as a fingerprint scan, for locking and unlocking. Smart door locks with app compatibility have the added convenience of offering remote access and control.
