A smart lock offers countless additional features and makes your home or office highly versatile. With the Klink Smart One, you can unlock in various ways, such as with your fingerprint, codes, cards, smartwatch, or phone. Additionally, with the handy features in the app, you can open your door remotely. This gives you the freedom to decide when the door is opened or closed, offering many advantages. But how does remote door unlocking work? And what do you need for it? We’ll explain it here for you.
Benefits of unlocking your door remotely:
- Comfort for yourself: The biggest advantage of being able to unlock your door remotely is convenience. You’ll never have to search for keys again, and you can unlock the door in advance, allowing you to walk in with your hands full.
- Pickups and deliveries: Your friends, family, or business partners can always pick up or drop something off, even if you're not there. There’s no need for a physical key exchange anymore.
- Office and business use: In professional environments, it’s convenient when multiple people have access without each needing a key. With remote control, you can unlock and later relock the door without being physically present.
- Family life: Have your kids forgotten their key, or are they too young to handle one? With remote control, they can already enter while you're still on the way. This is also useful for babysitters or pet sitters.
- Handymen: Tradespeople often work exactly when you’re not home. With the app, you can open the door for them so they can do their work without you needing to be there.
- Vacation: When you’re on holiday, your house becomes more attractive to burglars. With the app, you can check remotely if everything is properly locked and even make changes for peace of mind.
How does remote unlocking work with Klink?
The most common way to unlock a smart lock is via your smartphone or smartwatch. With the Klink app, which comes standard, you can easily use your phone as a remote control for your door. Just like a regular door opener works with the push of a button, the app sends a signal to unlock the door. Unlike a standard opener, it doesn’t matter where you are located.
Additionally, Klink offers multiple access methods, such as fingerprints, codes, or cards. These can be managed within the app, allowing you to grant temporary access to others. This doesn’t mean the door opens automatically, but that a specific user can use their card or fingerprint to enter. If this hasn’t been set up yet, you can unlock the door remotely yourself via the app.
What do you need to unlock your door remotely?
- A door (you probably already have one)
- A smart lock, such as the Klink Smart One
- A phone with the Klink app
- The Klink Smart Hub
- Optional: Access cards
The Klink Smart One can be easily mounted on any door with standard fittings. The app can be quickly installed on your phone or smartwatch. To operate the door remotely, you’ll need the Klink Smart Hub. This smart gateway links to the Klink app and enables remote operation. The access cards are optional, depending on your preferences in the app. With just a few components, you can easily control your door remotely!
