Smart Locks

Many homeowners these days are considering a smart lock installation. Smart Locks were birthed from the need to make home security a more efficient well-oiled machine, and to make the integration of smart technology with everyday acts a possibility.

Smart locks have many perks that homeowners could take advantage of to make their lives much simpler. For instance, some smart locks are able to unlock the front door of your home when you are in close proximity.

It does this by picking up on the Bluetooth frequencies that your phone is emitting, and then it unlocks the door. In other cases, it gives homeowners the ability to give guests temporary keys while they (the homeowner) are still able to maintain key control over their home. Smart locks are undoubtedly breaking new ground as they hope to reinvent everything about home security.

Aside from the technological innovation that smart locks bring to the table, they are also designed to give homeowners a lock that feels and looks like the future is already here. Opting to undergo a smart lock installation is definitely something that many homeowners are taking advantage of now.

What Goes Into A Smart Lock?

There are many different variations to smart locks. However, most smart locks are made up of three basic components, which keep them running smoothly. These basic components are the wireless transceiver, the locking mechanism, and a motor, which engages or disengages the locking mechanism.

Each of these individual components is key to making sure that the smart lock is able to function properly. The wireless transceiver is the part of the lock that makes communication with other devices possible. These devices include smartphones and other automated home systems.

The locking mechanism is usually a Grade 1 deadbolt while the motor, which engages the deadbolt, normally runs on batteries that are placed in the lock. There are of course exceptions to this rule because there are few smart locks out there that do not employ the use of a deadbolt locking mechanism.

A good smart lock is not only judged by how efficient it makes the process of locking a door, but also by how secure it makes your home. This is the primary function of a simple door lock. On the outside, it seems like a mechanism that simply allows or bars entry, but it is a big part of home security. For that reason, its effectiveness is measured by how safe it can keep your home.

There only has to be a few minor alterations made to the existing lock for it to work. However, many of the smart lock models are made to work solely with deadbolts and might not work with some integrated locks and handles as well as some mortise and rim cylinder locks.

There are a few exceptions to this rule, but most of the smart locks that are dominating the market are making use of the deadbolts that homeowners already have in place.

A smart lock is a lock you can open with your phone. A majority of the smart lock models that are being marketed to homeowners and commercial business owners are equipped to function with smartphones. There are some exceptions to this, and these are dependent on whether or not the homeowner’s smartphone is compatible with the smart lock that they have in place.

Smart locks aim to make the daily act of locking and unlocking doors more seamless and efficient while still maintaining a homeowner’s safety. In trying to do away with traditional keyed systems and implementing remote access from a smartphone, smart locks do not have most of the faults that regular key systems have.

If your door has a separately installed deadbolt and a separately installed handle/knob set, then the knob set might have to be removed. This will depend on which smart lock you decide to install on the door of your home.

The installation times for smart locks vary based on the type of smart lock that the homeowner wishes to install, and also on the type of lock that the homeowner already has in place. The installation time is much faster on doors that already have a Grade 1 deadbolt in place. This is because the new smart lock merely has to be incorporated into the deadbolt.
