Thinking about your first smart lock or looking to upgrade your old lock?



Deadbolt smart locks are the most common on the market, and they can divide into three categories including deadbolt attachment, interior deadbolt replacement, and complete deadbolt locks.To get more news about bluetooth front door lock, you can visit securamsys.com official website.
1. Deadbolt attachment (1) is the one that attaches to your existing deadbolt, such as the SESAME lock ($250) which uses 3M tape to attach to your existing lock, is perfect for anyone who isn’t handy with tools.
2. Interior deadbolt replacement (2) these types of smart lock use your existing exterior door hardware. You only replace the interior side of deadbolts (make sure to check your old deadbolt is compatible with these types of lock). If you want to replace all of your lock hardware you might have to pass on this one.
3. Complete deadbolt replacement (3) will completely replace your entire deadbolt with smart lock mechanism or can be added above your doorknob or handle. They usually fit with most standard doors and also come with a new set of keys, such as SGUDA smart lock.
4. Lever locks (4), these types of lock usually fit with your interior doors or garage doors with a single-hole model (just a knob or lever door).
5. Mortise locks (5) are different from standard cylinder lock, the lock mechanisms and handle are integrated into a single unit, the structure and design are more complicated, and it will be more difficult to install it yourself. If you really want to choose this type of product it is recommended to hire a professional locksmith to help you out.
Smart lock is designed to ensure that only approved individuals at any given time have access to specific spaces. So, It is necessary for homeowners to look for smart locks with suitable security features, otherwise there would be no point in buying smart locks. Besides this, people should be seeking for smart locks that follow the ANSI/BHMA A156.36 standard regulation. These smart locks provide your home with the greatest amount of protection, and they are more resistant to lock bumping.

Another security aspect of smart lock you should look for is cybersecurity features. Make sure your smart lock has backend security such as AES 128 bit and TLS/SSL encryption that protects your data so no outside intruders can hack into your account.

If you are willing to pay a little extra for more convenience and security then a wifi built-in smart lock is there for you. The advantage of built-in WiFi is that users don’t have to pay extra for a WiFi hub, while greatly enhance the overall security. Just through the phone, you will receive real-time updates of who has entered or exited your house so you will gain peace of mind anywhere, anytime.
Who doesn’t like something refreshing after a while, it makes things more user friendly and bringing better features. The same concept can also be applied to smart locks. So I suggest you buy a lock that can be upgraded by WiFi. One of the major benefits of Wifi update is that you can enjoy a brand new experience of smart lock from home itself.
