Home/Gate Locks — Smart or Not?

When consider installing or replacing existing locks on doors or gates, you should consider some features for smart or very not smart solutions that don’t require a key! Smart locks have one universal issue…power. Most of them have batteries that are very long-lasting, but at some point, you will probably be trying to enter your home, and it will not work because the battery is too low. At a minimum, you should not consider any smart lock that doesn’t have a key bypass override. Proactively replacing/charging batteries on a set cycle is also a best practice. Most smart locks include a phone app that allows you to set up more than one code, so you know who is coming and going. This is particularly good if you want to give a “worker” something temporary and not the easy to remember code you use for yourself.
