Advantages of Smart Locks

100% keyless - for your home

A smart lock is convenient to use both at home and in the office. With the right accessories, you can even unlock a smart lock anytime, wherever you are. Are you using the smart lock for home? Then, for example, you can also give a family member or your best friend access via the app - they will receive an invitation via text message. To create a account as well as to log in, two-factor authentication is used. That means your lock is extra secure.

The solution for the office

Then you can easily create a business account for all your colleagues. Via the Business Portal, you also get information about when the door is activated and by whom. Determine who has access when by setting schedules. Handy if, for example, the cleaner only needs access on Wednesdays between 6pm and 9pm.

 

 

Give others temporary access

Everything passes. Sometimes it's long-lasting. And sometimes of short duration. That is why it is also possible to grant access for a certain period of time. Very handy if you rent out your house or work with a temporary freelance worker. This way, you don't have to be present every time to open the door or copy lost keys. And when the tenants leave your home or the project is completed, you simply revoke access via the app. Besides those temporary periods, you can also grant access for specific times of day.

Safe and secure

So you can be sure that the smart lock is safe. But in addition, it is nice to know that the major insurers in the Netherlands and Belgium cover the damage in case of theft. It certainly helps if a lock is approved by the independent . Of course, it is smart to check the policy of your business or home insurance to be sure, or ask an employee at your insurer if the damage is covered if you have a smart lock.

Are There Different Types of Smart Lock?
 

What are two main types of smart door locks? Adapted smart locks and native smart locks

Adapted smart door locks

It’s possible to adapt your existing locks and in so doing, bring them onto a platform which makes them smart. This would also include electronic locks which haven’t been designed to be used in a smart fashion - however, when adding it to a system then they would become smart.
The benefit this offers is the flexibility that this option provides. There are so many pieces of hardware that can be controlled electronically because of access control that means that multiple options are available to customers depending upon their security, use-case and financial circumstances and requirements.
As adapted smart locks simply adapt a lock that is already in place, there is naturally less disruption and damage to the door and frame when the smart lock functionality is added.

Native smart door locks

These are locks that are specifically designed to be smart locks and controlled electronically, e.G. Through an app or some other form of electronic interface (e.G. Keycode, keypad, etc.).
These are often contained systems which don’t communicate with a larger system.
They can operate on batteries which May make installation easier - however will mean that the batteries need to be replaced when they run low. This alone can present problems if it requires travel to reach the property with the smart lock installed.
Native smart locks means installing a new lock. This would mean removing the existing locks on the door (which means it’s highly likely that the door and frame would need to be repaired).
The native smart door locks are tied to their own platforms so it limits their use and flexibility - so you would have to use the smart lock operator’s app.
Many native smart door locks utilise bluetooth technology, which means remote access is not possible, substantially limiting the functionality of smart door lock solutions.

 

How Does a Smart Lock Work?
 

One thing you know for sure: with a smart lock, you ensure a 100% keyless life. Because you use your phone, a PIN or a remote control to open the door. And do you have to grab your phone every time you open the door? No way, at least not if you have a smart Lock. Then just keep that phone in your pocket. Because there is a friend who is always there for you, and his name is Bluetooth. In the Bold app, you turn on the auto-activation function with ease. Your Bold Smart Lock recognises you and activates itself as soon as you get home. Do you activate the 'auto-activation'? Then the lock will recognise you as soon as you enter the 200-metre zone. Does your lock then open immediately? No. Your lock only opens when you stand in front of your door. So you avoid having to search for your key (or phone) with your hands full of stuff. And it remains safe to use this function.

 

And if your phone is empty? No worries. With your PIN, you can easily enter your home or office even without your phone. Enter your 5-digit code by turning the outside knob - just like a bank safe - and you're in. And is your phone completely lost or broken? Don't panic. Log in on another phone. Because then you automatically log out on the device that is lost, broken or empty. It's much safer.

How Secure Are Smart Locks?

 

Biometric Smart Door Lock

With digital technology comes concern about hacking. While no device is entirely hack-proof, smart locks offer security features like encryption and two-factor authentication that make them hard to crack. In fact, physically breaching a traditional lock is often easier than hacking a smart lock’s encryption. Moreover, some smart locks, have additional safeguards; the critical components are housed within the lock’s interior, providing further protection even if the exterior is vandalized.

 

Furthermore, smart locks often utilize independent encryption protocols beyond the standard Bluetooth security, reinforcing their robustness. It’s important to remember that the security of your smart lock also depends on your habits. Regularly updating your software, setting strong passwords, and promptly revoking access from lost devices can all help keep your smart lock secure. This is an area where smart locks shine; lost keys can be deactivated quickly, reducing security risks that traditional keys pose.

 

How To Choose A Smart Lock For Your Home
 

Technology and connectivity
When securing your home, exterior or entrance locks generally consist of the following. Electronic locks – non-connected and battery-operated. They allow for keyless access with a simple keypad or touchpad.

 

Keyless entry options
We’ve all spent time looking for our keys or losing and misplacing spare keys. Now, many smart locks have a keyless entry that allows you to open the door without a physical key by punching in a code on a keypad or using an app on your phone. And for those who feel more secure with a key, there is a traditional key and cylinder to open your door even with the keyless entry locks.

 

Security features
We all appreciate the convenience of smart technology. I know I do. But let’s face it: When it comes to our houses, we can’t sacrifice security for convenience. Understanding what security features to look out for should be your top priority when choosing a smart lock.

 

Integration with smart home systems
Another thing I love about smart locks is that they can easily work with your smart home. It is compatible with all platforms.

 

Power options
Traditional mechanical locks don’t need the power to function, so they continue to work even if the power goes out. However, smart locks run on batteries, so it is important to make sure the batteries don’t die. Make sure you pay attention to low battery life indicators. Also, it’s important to think about how your exterior smart lock performs in extreme conditions, given our cold winters.

 

Installation and compatibility
When researching smart locks, you want a lock that is easy to install and has several compatibility options. Locks come with one, two, or three borehole options, which is another factor to consider.

 

Durability and design
You want to pick a lock that lasts because they aren’t cheap. And you want to pick something that will make a statement and increase your curb appeal. First impressions matter! It’s not just about looks – your lock must be made of quality, durable materials like zinc, steel, and brass.

 

Smart Lock Maintenance Tips

 

Clean regularly

Dust and debris can accumulate in and around the lock, affecting its performance. Clean the lock and its surroundings regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

Check batteries

Most smart locks are battery-operated. Ensure the batteries are replaced as recommended by the manufacturer to avoid unexpected failures.

Update firmware

Manufacturers often release firmware updates to improve security and functionality. Stay updated with the latest firmware to benefit from these enhancements.

Lubricate moving parts

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts of the lock mechanism to prevent friction and ensure smooth operation.

Inspect hardware

Periodically inspect the physical hardware for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn-out parts promptly to maintain security.
