A smart lock is an electronic lock that uses either or a combination of wifi & Bluetooth connectivity to interact with devices. This can be done either by using a fob/card or by installing an app on your smart phone. When the configured fob/phone is near the lock, it automatically unlocks. No more rummaging around in your bag for a door key or juggling small children and the weekly shopping while trying to unlock the door

One of the biggest features of some smart locks is the ability to creat temporary keys that can be given to people, grating them access to your home for a specific time frame.

Temporary keys are ideal should you need someone to pop in and feed the fish while you’re away - you simply create and message a temporary access key and the reciprocate can use their smart phone to open the lock. Then once you return, you can either delete the keys access or have set it to automatically delete after a set time like 24hrs.

Because of their “smart” nature, some smart locks will also connect to other smart devices in your home like Alexa or Google Home and your locks can be opened via voice control.
