5 Benefits of Keypad Locks and Smart Locks:

Keyless Entry

Keyless door access means no more keys! No more losing your keys, searching for keys when you’re in a hurry, locking yourself out because you forgot your keys. No more pat-down panic checking your pockets to make sure your keys are there or dumping out bags and purses looking for your keys. And, with Bluetooth smart lock you may not have to do anything at all, just walk up to the door and it will unlock for you!

Access Codes

Individual custom access codes! Many smart door locks also have the benefit of being able to custom program individual codes so that each person, service provider or department that needs access to your house, offices, storage closets,  and other secured areas can have their own unique access code.

Access Schedule

Control access times! Not everyone need full access all the time. Many affordable smart locks enable you to add schedule times to the codes you assign to only provide access at set times. So if you have a house cleaning service that only needs to enter your home one day a week, during specific times or a business with employees that only need daytime access and supply delivery personnel that only need access to your office building at nigh, simply set up individual access during those times.

Changeable Entry Codes

Make new codes not new keys! No more need for people to return keys or having to change locks and cut new keys every time a key is lost or an employee quits! Simply delete old codes and make new codes for new employees, friends or family members!

Access Alerts

Instant alerts and notifications! Want to be notified whenever a specific door is opened and by whom? Many door smart locks come with free apps that will send you alerts whenever a door is opened, who opened it and keep access records.
