Smart Door Locks

As smart technology expands to more areas of home life, it can help you save energy, automate everyday tasks, keep your home secure, and make life more convenient. Smart locks are a popular choice for home security systems because they can make a big impact for a reasonable price. Smart door locks can be programmed to activate remotely via an app on your phone, or Wi-Fi-enabled electronic door locks will open when your smartphone is in the proximity of the electric lock. This technology also extends to smart garage door openers, which reduce the need for each family member’s car to have a separate manual device; anyone with the app on their phone with the correct code can access the garage space. Wi-Fi keyless door locks used together with outdoor security lighting and smart plugs and outlets can help make you more at ease when you’re arriving home or when you’re headed out for the night. 

With keyless entry locks on your doors, you’ll forget what life was like before you had them. The convenience of being able to walk up to your door with your smartphone and have the electronic door lock open automatically is ideal. The same automatic lock function occurs when you’re leaving, so there’s no need to fish your key out of a pocket or purse. For extra peace of mind, you can also check the app on your phone to make sure all the doors are locked and quickly lock the unlocked door with a simple remote action. This feature is especially appreciated when scheduling home repairs or when the dog sitter comes to take Fido for a walk. By setting up alerts on your smartphone, you can receive notifications when someone leaves or when the kids get home after school, much like a door alarm. For trusted family members and guests, smart keypad locks let you grant them access by sharing a code to enter, without having the app on their phone. Some keyless door locks are innovated to assign a special code for each person as another way to track who has entered your home. This alternate option also comes in handy when you leave your phone charging inside while you’re out. Looking for a creative home gift idea for a housewarming present? Keyless entry locks give the recipient the gift of never having to worry about losing their keys again and is sure to be appreciated.

Now that you’ve chosen the best smart lock for your home, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your keyless entry system. Bluetooth-enabled wireless smart home locks can pair with voice-controlled smart speakers, giving you the ability to use a voice command to activate your electronic door lock.
