Have you ever considered installing an electronic lock on your front door? Electronic locks, or smart locks, offer a range of advantages. On this page, we’ll look at the benefits of the Klink Smart One — a smart door lock that provides both security and comfort. Curious about the Klink Smart One?
How does an electronic lock on the front door work?
Before we dive into the benefits of an electronic lock, it’s helpful to first explain what it is and how it works. An electronic lock is a lock that doesn’t operate with a traditional key, but can be opened in other ways, such as with a fingerprint scanner or a code.
More and more businesses are installing electronic locks on their premises, allowing employees to enter using a code, so not everyone needs a key. Today, many households are also switching to electronic front door locks. If you often forget your keys, have a large family, or frequently welcome guests, a smart front door lock can offer many benefits.
Benefits of a smart lock on the front door
For many people, the front door is the most commonly used entryway to the home. If you're considering buying a smart lock, it makes sense to install it on the front door. A smart front door lock not only adds extra security, but also makes unlocking the door much easier.
Use keyless entry
Do you often have your hands full or forget your keys? Then keyless entry is a perfect solution. With keyless entry, you can open a door without using a key. With the Klink Smart One, there are several ways to unlock the door without a key. You can open it remotely via the app, or use your fingerprint. Additionally, the Klink Smart One allows you to open the lock with a card or a code — although this feels more similar to turning a traditional key.
Grant access to anyone you choose
With an electronic front door lock, you can easily control who has access to your home. In the Smartklink app, you can grant access to up to 300 people using their fingerprints. This is ideal for large families or if you want friends or relatives to enter easily.
You can also grant temporary access. If someone is house-sitting while you’re on vacation, you can give them access for that period. When you return, you can simply revoke their access through the app.
Ensure greater safety for your family
Smart locks offer advanced security features such as encrypted communication and two-factor authentication, making it more difficult for intruders to gain entry. A fingerprint can’t be stolen as easily as a physical key can.
Additionally, smart locks make it harder for burglars to use methods like cylinder pulling, a technique where the lock cylinder is forcibly removed. With a smart lock, the door fitting covers the cylinder, preventing access and making it much more difficult to break in.
