One of the most important aspects of maintaining a safe and desirable property is choosing what kind of lock to install. With the rise of Airbnb and other subletting platforms, you might need a lock that can be reset frequently and easily. It is also important to be on the forefront of safety technology as a developer. From analog, to electric, and even smart locks, it can be difficult to know what will be the right fit for your apartment complex or community. Here are some of the reasons to choose a smart lock for your upcoming development project with Triton Smart Home:
Increased Safety
All smart locks on the market come with deadbolt integration, so you can rest assured that safety is not being compromised when switching from a traditional lock. In addition to baseline safety features, smart locks can be entirely keyless which eliminates the risk of trespassing or robbery via lockpicking. Traditional locks are easy to destroy and even a deadbolt can be broken by an experienced crook.
While you might be under the impression that smart locks are susceptible to hacking, this is a highly misconstrued risk. Smart locks use bluetooth and wifi networks to communicate, and you can easily ensure that your home will be impenetrable by using a strong password and protected private wifi network.
Most break-ins happen out of convenience, and it is highly unlikely that most common criminals will be prepared or even understand how to begin trying to hack your smart lock.
In the event of a break-in, however unlikely, your smart lock can alert you as the property owner immediately. Additionally, if you choose to integrate your smart lock with your security system, it can automatically record video and picture evidence of the crime in progress.
More Accessibility and Convenience
A simple but crucial element of choosing a smart lock system for your community is the convenience and ease of access that comes with eliminating the need for a physical key. No need to dig through pockets or wield bags of groceries as you search for your door key, as smart locks can be activated by a variety of hands-off methods including voice activation and detection of bluetooth key fobs once you are in close range to your home.
You can also easily let new guests tour your property or move in for the first time with remote app access and one time use codes. This allows for seamless rentals, long or short term.
For an even more advanced line of safety, smart locks with fingerprint and other biometric reading sensors are available. This also adds a touch of a personalized feel to any community.
Customization and Smart Home Integration
With easily-customizable door handles and interface styles, it is easy to find a style of smart lock that adds to the ambience of your community in an upscale and attractive way. Whether you want to emphasize the high tech aspect of a smart lock, or are looking for a design that blends in to a more rustic feel, there is a smart lock for you.
Smart locks can be easily paired with home automation systems, including voice activated assistants like Alexa. This allows for a more cohesive security system, as well as the ability to track entry logs and create customized methods of entry for the whole household. You can even set your automated lights and music to play upon entry, to help with entering your property at night or to create a personalized ambiance.
Additionally, you can add extra security features to your smart lock, like anti-tampering measures and two-way-talk features. Our qualified team of smart home specialists can help you choose what combination of features will best suit your property’s needs.
