A smart lock is a keyless entry system that locks and unlocks a deadbolt by entering a passcode on your wireless device. A locksmith can help you find the best one for your home, security, and budget. But you should first become familiar with the benefits of this technology.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a Smart Lock?

1. Enhanced Security

It's no secret that keys can easily get misplaced or stolen, making your home less secure. A smart lock eliminates the need for keys entirely, so your property and family are safer, and you can get real-time alerts when someone enters or exits the home. The system allows you to set time parameters and expiration dates for certain passcodes, which ensures security if you need to let guests or workers, like contractors or dogwalkers, into the home for a limited time.

2. Convenience

With a smart lock, you don't need to fumble for keys every time you need to lock or unlock the door. But just because a locksmith has installed one doesn't mean you can't use physical keys if necessary. For instance, you can still get inside if the Wi-Fi or power goes out.  

Also, you can lock and unlock the door remotely without being onsite, and you can set different passcodes for each member of the family so that they are easier for everyone to remember.

3. Visual Appeal

Even though smart locks use sophisticated technology, they look no different than regular locks. This means they integrate well with your existing door and the surrounding design. They don't have oversize parts or unusual shapes, and the casual observer will not be able to distinguish them from a traditional lock.
