Smart Locks

How does a smart lock work?

Smart locks add another layer of protection to your home. They replace the traditional lock and key with a clever digital locking device that allows you to easily lock and unlock your door using a keypad, biometric fingerprint scanner, or even your phone. They typically connect through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Z-Wave, which allows you to control and monitor your digital door lock from anywhere. So, you can stress less about spare key conundrums and enjoy securing your castle from the comfort of the couch (and beyond!)

What should I consider when choosing a smart lock?

Choosing the right smart lock is key to safeguarding your home. From battery life to privacy features, here are some things to keep in mind before you buy:

• Entry Methods – Think about what mode of access you’ll use. Electronic door locks offer different methods of entry, ranging from an app on your phone to a keypad, fingerprint scanner, and NFC.
• Battery Life – Most digital locks are battery-powered, which means you’ll never get locked out in a blackout. For added peace of mind, you can opt for a model with backup power or a key.
• Smart Home Compatibility – If you have existing smart home devices, stick to your preferred platform for easy access and control.
• Security and Privacy – All smart locks should offer protection for your sensitive passcodes, as well as anti-peep and anti-tampering features to prevent unauthorised access.
