In this blog entry, the Myrtle Beach lock installation team here at Myrtle Beach Locksmith will detail the main benefits of electronic locks and smart locks.
Smart Lock Operation
Smart locks eliminate your need to carry physical keys, and operate with electronic and remote technology. They can be used with WiFi, Bluetooth, biometrics, or a backup physical key. Some smart locks can be operated with a touchpad. They are highly versatile and often boast an array of features that offer home and business owners alike a high level of convenience.
Smart Lock Benefits
Keyless Exit and Entry
Keys can be lost, broken, or stolen, leading to the need for lock rekeying or repair service. It’s super easy to accidentally get locked out of your house by leaving your keys at home or work. Smart locks remove this potential inconvenience by removing any need to keep keys on hand, allowing electronic or remote access and telling you when a door is unlocked or locked. They can operate with touch, smartphone operation or biometric fingerprint or retinal recognition. They often come with backup keys when needed.
Log Entry and Exits
If you want to monitor who operates your door locks, and when, smart locks provide you with the ability to review documented entrance and exit logs. This provides fantastic security benefits and peace of mind for parents wanting to track when kids enter and exit their house when they’re away from home.
Access Convenience
Smart locks provide a range of conveniences not provided by traditional locks like remote unlocking that allows you to deactivate the lock using your smartphone application from any location. This is ideal for those wanting to unlock the door for babysitters or workers while at work smart locks can be paid to work with smart doorbells or security cameras allowing you to check who’s at your door without having to get up. You can also distribute temporary keycodes to people with smartphone applications so that visitors can access your home without needing to have physical keys – and of course, these codes can be revoked or programmed to expire at certain times with absolute customization.
Full Integration Possibilities
Smart Locks can be integrated with a wide range of different smart home devices or applications. Smart locks often have their own applications, but can be controlled through an application that also controls the whole range of your smart devices like thermostats and voice assistant devices. Just ensure that the particular smart lock that you’re purchasing has smart home integration capabilities.
