Smart keypad door lock – a new convenience of access.

 

Smart locks are devices that are perfect for any place – no matter if it’s your private home, office, or rental flat. Exactly, but isn’t there an even more convenient solution for providing remote access, especially to places such as your business office or rental property? The best smart locks provide multiple access options.

A smart keypad door lock – the perfect accessory to a smart lock – is best suited to such places. It is equipment that resembles an intercom but allows you to open the door lock immediately by simply entering the PIN-code on the device’s numeric keypad.

After all, not everyone has a smartphone that can turn into a door key. You will find few such people these days, but many who own a smartphone will not want to install another mobile app on their phone. The use of PIN codes is a simple way to provide access.

The only thing to do is assign an individual access code to each one. What’s more – all activities related to opening a given door lock will be displayed in the smartphone app. So you can control access over all your properties. Simple – both for you and your employees or guests.

No need to worry – the equipment has been designed so that variable weather conditions do not put it at risk of damage. The device has been sealed with resin, which provides excellent protection – whatever the weather.

Some smart locks have built-in Wi-Fi, other smart locks – fingerprint scanner, but the most important thing among these smart features is remote control of your front door lock. tedee smart locks with keypad provide the essential features changing the way to access your place in the most useful way.

Are smart locks with keypads safe?

The smart keypad door lock only makes it easier to open and close the door lock. The security issue depends on your existing smart lock and the quality of your front door.

All data are stored in the smart lock, which sends it to the cloud, making it impossible to hack the device. The smart keypad connects to the smart lock via a secure Bluetooth connection and transfers the entered data, and the smart lock validates it.

Who benefits the most from a keypad door lock?

A smart keypad door lock is a beneficial addition to a smart lock – it allows you to open the door without using a smartphone. The keypad’s function is to provide access via PIN codes. This is a very useful solution, especially for short-term rentals and businesses, but it is also perfect for the home.

Grant access with a PIN code

Are you worried that your guests won’t have a smartphone or may have trouble operating smart home devices like a smart lock? The smart keypad provides access via a PIN code that must be input on the device’s numeric pad. This is much better than, for example, a fingerprint reader.

No key problems

Keys are one of the most frequently lost items – and this can happen to your guests too. If you hide the keys to your traditional lock in a special box before your guests arrive, or even worse, under the doormat, they can be easily stolen. This is one of the best smart lock security features. Technology means that you no longer have to duplicate, hide, collect or pick up keys to your door lock.

Supervision of booking time

The access code will only be active during the designated time frame – from the start to the end of the rental. Once the rental is over, no one will be able to open your door lock.

Remote control

Rent remotely – you can give the code to your flat in a text message or a simple phone call – no more meeting customers to provide them access to your apartment. Grant access to your property manager, cleaning company, or other professionals – even from the other side of the world.

Let someone else manage

The three levels of access to the smart lock (owner, administrator, and guest) mean that you can give control over access to, for example, your office manager.

Sure access in any situation

You want to come home, but your smartphone is dead? You don’t need to ask a neighbor to borrow the phone and log in to an app – just type in the pre-assigned access code to unlock the front door.

Give access to your family members and friends

Don’t hide your keys under the doormat – this is probably the most dangerous method of providing access to your home. Simply give a personalized access code to let family or friends in when you’re not home. The auto-lock function will close the door when they leave. You don’t have to worry about that either.

Let service providers in remotely

How do smart locks work?

Smart locks are useful devices – they turn your smartphone into a door key. Among other things, this makes it possible to open the door lock remotely – for example, to let friends in when you have to stay longer at work or to dog walker when you’re relaxing on holiday. With just one click on your smartphone screen, you can enable keyless entry and when you’re not even around.

Smart locks also offer an auto-lock feature. This will come in handy for the forgetful person who forgets to lock the door at night or for the simply prudent – just set the function to automatically lock the front door, for example, after 5 seconds, so you don’t have to wonder if the door is locked.

The coolest function, however, seems to be the auto-unlock feature. It allows you to open the door lock without touching the handle. Among other things, this makes it easier to enter the house with heavy bags without having to search for the physical key in your pocket or handbag.

Most smart locks have additional features such as voice command control via Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant on compatible devices, a fingerprint reader, and remote access to the door lock. The classic deadbolt lock cannot guarantee the same features.
