You’re a busy homeowner who’s constantly on the move. On top of that, you’ve got a full house, filled with family members and pets who each have their own unique schedules. You’ve got to leave the house bright and early to drop the kids off at school, while your partner heads into the office a bit later in the day, and your beloved dog needs to be taken out by a dog walker while no one is home. With you and your family’s varied needs, you need a smart lock that can let everyone come and go as they please.

What are Smart Locks?

Smart locks are a form of automated door entry that allows homeowners to enter their homes without needing a key. They’re convenient, secure, as well as stylish, providing your home with a modern finish. They’re the perfect way to keep your home safe without having to compromise your architectural and design aesthetics.

Smart and Stylish

When you first hear the words “smart lock,” your mind might jump to a giant technological contraption added to your door. Luckily, the exact opposite is true! Some smart locks have cutting-edge technology and stylish home design combined.

With incredibly small batteries, smart locks fit most common door locks and are easily installed with just a screwdriver. On top of this, you can find the perfect keyless entry port to fit your own personal design aesthetic. There are a wide variety of finishes and styles to choose from: whether you’re looking for a glimmering gold entryway or more a fan of sleek silver hardware, you’ll find the perfect form of security to match your style.



Perfect for All Schedules

One of the most difficult things about having a regular keyed lock system is making sure everyone that needs a key has one. But what if you could easily give those who need it access to your home without having to make a number of trips to the hardware store? Leave the key copies in the past: with a smart lock, you can provide all members of your family, friends, or house staff with their own digital key in order to enter. With these individual digital keys, you can know who’s entering your house and when.

On top of that, you never have to worry about leaving your keys at home and locking yourself out, or losing your keys and having to get a whole new lock system.  Using a smart lock, you can use your phone’s Bluetooth system, to open your door with a touch, a preset app, or keycards and key fobs that have been linked to the lock via the app. If you’re worried that you might lose your keycard or key fob and befall the same fate you might if you lose a normal set of keys, don’t fret: you can revoke keycard or key fob access at any time, so no one without prior approval can use them.

Remote Access to Keep You at Ease

When you’re away from home, it’s natural to feel concerned about potential unwanted visitors. Luckily, with keyless entry, there’s no lock for even the most seasoned burglar to pick. As such, you can rest assured that your home will stay secure while you’re out, whether you’ve just stepped out on a quick errand, or are jetting away for a few weeks on your dream family vacation. On top of that, you can easily get notifications sent to your phone to let you know when the door’s been unlocked, so you can make sure the dog walker arrived on time, or your kids got home from soccer practice a-okay. Wherever you are, you can rest assured that your home and the ones you love are safe and sound.

Upgrade Your Existing Deadbolt

If you still want to keep your existing lock, it doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade your home with a smart lock system. Some smart locks allow you to use your existing deadbolt, which will allow all the features of keyless entry while maintaining the same hardware style you love.

Smart locks are an incredible innovation in security and home design as they allow a technologically savvy form of keyless entry to all doors in your home. They give homeowners the freedom to accommodate the entry and exit of family members, friends, and employees without the worry of having to have a physical key for all those that need one. Additionally, they’re able to track when their doors are locked and unlocked via app notifications on their phone, so they can rest assured that all lock passes are being used appropriately. Plus, you can easily upgrade your existing lock with a smart deadbolt, so you can keep your home secure without compromising your style. What smart lock features are you most excited about?
