Electronic smartphone door locks can keep your home safe and secure from afar

Are you stuck in the past? Do you keep locking and unlocking the doors of your house with a key? With today’s technology, you don’t have to worry about little things like that. In fact, all you have to do is open and close the doors without doing anything else.

Security companies have created electronic keyless door locks to protect your home when you are on the move. Instead of using a key to enter your home, you can use Bluetooth technology through your smartphone or via a key fob (or smart key). Using Bluetooth, your door will automatically unlock as long as it is within range of the bolt. It locks automatically in 30 seconds when your device is out of range.

These new style deadbolts also have the ability to alert you via text message or email when your doors have been compromised or unlocked. In addition, you have control of your home from anywhere in the world. You can connect via WiFi to lock or unlock your doors. This extra protection gives you a sense of peace.

Since these devices are motorized and battery operated, there is a risk that your deadbolt will stop working, but thankfully these companies thought it all. Keyless entry locks still come equipped with a physical key to open the door manually, in the event of a malfunction or dead batteries.

In addition to the smartphone, key fob, or physical key, you also have the option of creating a digital code using the deadbolt keypad. It’s a fact that keyless entry is convenient for a number of reasons, but the option of not using a key to enter your home and the ability to control your doors from anywhere in the world is remarkable.

Imagine the possibilities with such a device. You come home after a long day at work with the groceries in hand. Instead of pulling out your keys and fiddling with the door, just open the door and walk in with ease, without removing your keys or anything in your pockets.

Plan for your child to get home from school an hour or more before you. Rather than entrusting your child with a physical key of their own, just have your child text or call you when you get home. From afar and without leaving your work, you can log in and unlock the door for your child. You can even lock it once they are safe inside.

Another scenario is that you are out of town and you ask your neighbor to check on your pet from time to time and feed him while you are out. You can monitor your neighbors’ visits by having them contact you to enter your home and then make sure it is locked after they leave.

Keyless entry locks are the wave of the future. Technology is constantly advancing and this is the way to go for homeowners. Combined with a high-tech security system, electronic door locks provide a high level of protection. You’ll always feel safe knowing that you didn’t make the mistake of leaving your doors open while you’re away from home.
