Smart Locks

Have you thought about upgrading your home security? Do you still rely on a standard deadbolt lock and key system? Although there is nothing wrong with the ‘old-fashioned’ lock-up system – and we often recommend a deadbolt for the budget conscious consumer – people are looking to invest in more advanced home security and digital locks are a popular choice.

Our tech-obsessed culture means that even our home locking system is now ‘smart’. Keyless electronic access systems are a familiar aspect of commercial and travel industries – swipe cards for hotels and access cards for offices are all too familiar these days – but what about your home?

It’s a worthy investment if you’re looking to improve the resale value of your home –up-to-date technology and smart homes are a great selling point.

Cons of Digital Locks

1.More Expensive

Although they are costlier than a traditional locking system – they are still a worthy long-term investment for reasons mentioned above.

2. Smart but not Infallible

Even though your digital lock is smart it can still run into some issues that occasionally need a locksmith to come to the rescue. The good news is that our emergency and mobile locksmiths have all the right tools and equipment to solve your digital locking issue.
