Frequently Asked Questions
Are smart locks as secure as traditional locks?
Yes, smart locks are designed with strong security features, and in many cases, they offer more protection than standard mechanical locks. High-quality digital locks use encrypted technology to prevent unauthorised access, and many include automatic locking, tamper alerts and restricted user codes. The strength of the lock also depends on the mechanical hardware behind it, such as the deadbolt or electric strike.
When installed correctly and paired with good-quality components, smart locks can significantly improve both convenience and security for homes and businesses.
What happens if the batteries in a smart lock die?
Smart locks are built with low-battery alerts, giving you plenty of time to replace batteries before they completely run out. If the power does drain fully, most modern smart locks include an emergency backup option, such as a concealed key override, a 9V battery touchpoint for temporary power or a USB-powered entry method. This means you won’t be locked out, even if the internal battery fails.
Regular maintenance and prompt battery changes help keep the lock working smoothly without interruption.
Do smart locks work with all types of doors?
Most smart locks can be installed on standard external doors, but compatibility depends on factors like the door thickness, existing hardwar and the type of lock you want to upgrade. Many digital locks are designed to retrofit onto common lock setups, making them easy to install without replacing the entire door. However, some older or custom doors may require minor adjustments or additional hardware.
Before choosing a digital lock, it’s helpful to check the product specifications or get professional advice to ensure you pick a model suited to your door and security needs.
Smarter Access, Stronger Safety
Smart locks are designed to streamline access while adding extra layers of control and reliability. With keypad entry, Bluetooth unlocking, app-based access and temporary codes for guests or trades, you gain flexibility without sacrificing safety. These systems also suit a wide range of lifestyles—busy parents, hosts of short-stay rentals, shift workers and anyone wanting a simple, secure way to enter and exit without juggling keys.
For homes and commercial spaces alike, digital locks can also be paired with electric strikes and other modern hardware to create an integrated access solution that’s easy to manage long term.
Whether you’re replacing outdated hardware, improving accessibility or exploring your first digital lock, we can help you choose the right option for your property. Reach out anytime to learn more or compare systems that match your needs.
