The locks on your door are the first line of security within your house. It’s up to them to protect your family from would-be criminals. But, as anyone has experienced, traditional lock and key systems are no longer cutting it. And, if you’ve ever had to deal with a lost key or faulty lock, then you also know how unreliable they can be.
If this is your experience, then you probably have thought about installing smart locks to beef up security. If you’re still on the fence about this upgrade, here are the top benefits of smart locks for your home:
No more missing or stray keys
The biggest problems with physical keys are that they can easily become misplaced or stolen. When you lose them, you will have a hard time getting into your own home, which is a huge hassle. Worse still, these lost keys provide their new owners easy access into your home — allowing them to do as they please with your stuff and on your property.
And, with physical keys, the usual practice is to keep a spare somewhere hidden by the door — this also poses a potential security threat, as they can be found by anyone looking hard enough.
But with smart locks, you can do away with the hassle of physical keys. ELID’s smart locks can operate with just a passcode, so you don’t have to carry your keys around with you every time you leave the house to go about your business. And, using a passcode means there isn’t a key that can fall into unwanted hands.
Increases accessibility — without decreasing safety
Like we said, forget needing keys ever again. With ELID’s smart lock systems, you no longer need a key to open your doors. Instead, you can use our passcode function to make entering your home more convenient and quick than ever.
Not comfortable with passcodes? You can also use their fingerprint scanners or RFID cards to unlock your door. Some models, like our XDR-H2B, also come with Wi-Fi compatibility, meaning you can use our specialized mobile app to lock and unlock your home with just a few taps on your screen.
Simplifies home security
Smart locks not only improve the convenience and security of your home — but they also simplify it. Our locks let you grant access to multiple users, and provide the means to set different passcodes or access for each user. With this, you can remotely control who can access your home, and how your locks function. You can even revoke or assign new codes or access when needed.
This is especially useful when you want to use our locks in interior doors to protect certain rooms, such as your bedroom or office. This allows you to secure the area, and make sure only a few select people can enter.
Know who comes in and out
With our smart locks, you can monitor who is entering and exiting your home as it happens — at all times. With our specialized mobile app, you have the option to receive an alert to your phone or email account whenever the locks are opened or closed.
This is the perfect way to keep track of your family. For example, if you want to know when your kids leave for and come home from school. This feature will also help you catch potential break-ins the moment they occur.
Features several locking mechanisms
There are many, many ways that people can pick or break a traditional lock. But nowadays, installing a smart lock will prevent any potential burglars from bypassing your security measures.
This is because this system relies on keyless entry. The deadbolt that holds your door firmly shut is protected by the electronic casing, giving criminals no way to access it — hence, it’s unpickable.
And, these systems come tied into remote monitoring measures, which we mentioned in the previous section. By giving you real-time alerts as to when the lock is used, you can catch suspicious activity and report it to the police before an incident occurs.
Convenient for children, the elderly, and the disabled
As high-tech as this security solution may be, it’s designed to be easily used — even for children, elderly and disabled persons. These groups often have trouble using traditional locks, so making the switch to ELID’s smart locks could make this process easier for them.
With a passcode or a swipe of their fingerprint, they can enter their home with ease. And, these locking mechanisms ensure they don’t accidentally lock themselves out, especially in cases of emergency.
Remote security options
Using our mobile app, you can control your ELID smart locks even while you’re not at home. So, if family members or guests accidentally lock themselves out, then you can simply use your app to let them back in. Likewise, if you forget to lock your door after leaving your house, then you can also use our app to remotely lock it.
Key Takeaway
With all the benefits of smart locks, it’s easy to see why they are a necessary upgrade to your home. With this security solution, you can rest assured that your property is safe, and that you can access your home more conveniently than ever.
