What Are Smart Locks?
We installed this digital keypad smart lock and matching handle set for a residential client in Brandon, FL. Like this model, many smart locks have keys that allow you to unlock it if the batteries have died and the keypad doesn’t work.
Smart locks are electronic door locks that grant access using keypads, smartphone apps, or biometric scanners. Many models connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Z-Wave, allowing smart lock users to lock/unlock doors remotely, set temporary access codes, and monitor entry activity.
Unlike traditional locks, smart locks offer greater convenience and control, making them ideal for Tampa homes, rental properties, offices, and retail spaces.
Benefits of Installing Smart Locks
Keyless Entry for Convenience
Smart locks eliminate the need to carry or duplicate physical keys and reduce the risk of lost keys and lockouts. Users can unlock doors using:
- A smartphone app
- A PIN code entered on a keypad
- A key fob or RFID card
Remote Access and Control
Many smart locks connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing users to:
- Lock and unlock doors remotely from anywhere
- Receive real-time alerts when someone enters
- Set auto-locking schedules for security
Guest Access and Temporary Codes
Smart locks allow property owners to generate temporary or recurring access codes that can be set to expire after a specific time, ensuring access is only granted when needed for a variety of users, including:
- Family members and guests
- Delivery workers and service providers
- Employees or short-term rental guests
Integration with Smart Home and Security Systems
Smart locks can connect with voice assistants like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and integrate with home security systems. This allows users to:
- Lock doors using voice commands
- Sync with security cameras and alarms
- Automate entry permissions for specific times
Increased Security and Tracking
Many smart locks store event history, showing who entered and when. Business owners and homeowners can monitor the following:
- Employee access to offices or restricted areas
- Entry logs for rental properties
- Unauthorized attempts to unlock the door
