Don’t like keys? Keypad smart locks are the solution!
Improve your home or business security! Quality door lock are vital for the security of your home and business but keeping people out is just one aspect of good security. What’s the other? Being able to let the right people in and access secure areas at the right time! Traditional keys are an all-or-nothing solution. Keys allow a person access at any time without limitations or control. Also, something we’ve all experienced – keys or can be lost, stolen or forgotten. Forgotten or lost keys are more than just an inconvenience; a lost key may end up in the possession of the wrong erson. Not only is your security compromised, you can also compromise the reputation of your business and trust with customers. What happens when an ex-employee, home service provider, friend or relative who has a key but now no longer needs access? They may not return the key or if they do, are you sure that a copy wasn’t made? Keys can be easily copied, lost or never returned, and with standard locks, the only resolution is to have your locks changed or the cylinders rekeyed and then have all new keys cut and distributed to only then have the same scenario play out over and over again costing you valuable time and money every time. Below are five benefits to having keypad locks or smart locks installed:
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.

A sticker can’t stop a burglar from entering your home but it may be just enough to make them think twice. Along with a yard sign, security stickers on your windows are an easy and affordable burglar deterrent. Place them in the lower corner right where someone from the outside will see them at eye level.
Laminated or tempered glass are probably the best option when choosing a window glass for home security but they can be expensive. A more affordable option without having to replace your windows is security window film. A do-it-yourself film that can be applied to your windows that will hold the glass together when broken. A thief may still be able to break through but the extra effort and noise may not be worth the risk!
In addition to your standard window locks you can add adjustable locks that fit right into the window tracks. These locks can be used as an extra lock on the window or adjusted so you window can only be opened a few inches. Adjust them at a level wide enough to let fresh air in but low enough to keep thieves out!
I’m not talking about imprisoning yourself behind metal bars (although those are good for keeping people both in and out!) I’m talking about a single bar that can be wedged into the window frame to prevent the window from being opened. You can either measure and cut your own from a wooden dowel or you can purchase adjustable metal rods made specifically for this purpose. Bars work especially well on horizontally sliding windows and doors.
Most home security system will have window sensors that will sound an alarm when a window is opened. If a home security system is out of your budget or if you rent, an easy and affordable solution is small battery powered window alarms. These small devices stick to your window and frame and when a window is opened, the pieces separate activating a high-decibel alarm. Place them in a position so that they are not easily reached by a burglar who may have opened your window (not like this image!)
