If you're a landlord, property manager, or just want to keep your place safe, you're thinking about security. Old-school key locks have been around forever, but now smart locks are everywhere. But are they actually safer? Let's look at the good and bad of both to help you pick.
The Idea
Smart locks can be safer, but they also have problems. Key locks are easy to pick. Smart locks can get hacked, but they give you more options. It depends on what you're worried about.
Key Locks
A key lock uses a metal key to turn things inside, which then moves a bolt. Easy.
Smart Locks
Safety smart lock lets you open your door without a key. You can use an app, a code, or even your fingerprint. It hooks up to your Wi-Fi, so you can control it from anywhere.
Here’s a quick look at each:
| Security Points | Key Loc | Smart Lock | Who Wins? |
| Breaking In | Easy to pick or drill. A good thief can get in fast. | Good ones have alarms and are hard to pick or drill. | Smart Lock(if it's a good one) |
| Lost Keys | Big deal. Gotta change the whole lock, which wastes time and costs money. | No keys to lose! Just delete the code in the app. | Smart Lock |
| Copies | Keys are easy to copy without you knowing. | Digital codes are special. No need to worry about copies. | Smart Lock |
| Forced Entry (Kicking) | It depends on the door and frame—pretty much the same for both. | Same as key locks. | Tie |
| Hacking | Can't happen. | Could happen if it's not a good lock. Good brands have good security. | Key Lock (can't be hacked) |
| Power Outage | Always works. | Usually has batteries and a real key. Stays locked. | Tie (if you're ready for it) |
| Tracking | No way to know who's coming and going. | Keeps track of people! See who used which code and when. Give or stop access from anywhere. | Smart Lock |
| Easy to Use = Safe? | Looking for keys at night can be unsafe. | Keyless entry is fast. Some open when you walk up. | Smart Lock |
If you're a landlord, security is about control and saving time.
1. Remote Access Rules
This is good for business. If a tenant loses a key super late, just send them a code from your phone. Plus, check who's been around. That's reassuring.
2. No More Lock Changes
This saves time and money. With key locks, new tenants mean new locks. Smart locks? Just delete the old code and add a new one. Super easy!
3. Advanced Lock Types: Biometric Door Locks
biometric door lock , like a finger print door lock , uses unique physical traits for access.
Why it's safe: Almost impossible to copy a fingerprint. Great for important spots.
Best for: Managers guarding storage or people with home offices.
4. Hacking Fears (And What to Do)
Hacking is a concern, but you can deal with it.
Go with Big Names: Brands like Schlage and Yale have good security.
Keep Your Wi-Fi Safe: Your lock is only as safe as your Wi-Fi. Use a strong password and maybe a separate network for smart devices.
Keep it Updated: Like your phone, smart locks get updates. Check that the brand does this.
5. The Safe Door Plan
The safest door has layers:
1. Strong Door and Frame: No lock helps if it's a weak door.
2. Good Lock: Pick a lock with a high ANSI/BHMA rating.
3. Add-ons: Add a sensor that tells you if someone tries to kick it in, a camera, and motion lights. Now you have a safe door that'll keep people out.
Smart locks aren't always the best. Use a good key lock if:
Bad Wi-Fi: Some smart locks are hard to use without the internet.
You're Not Techy: Simple is good if it means people will use the lock right.
Small Spending Money: Basic key locks are cheaper to start with.
For most landlords and pros, a smart lock gives you way better security and saves time.
The safe door isn't just strong—it's smart. Knowing who went in when, and changing access easily, beats a regular key lock.
Rentals: Use a good smart lock with a keypad and app. Skip the keys.
Important Places: Consider a fingerprint lock for key spots.
Always: Use a strong lock, door, and other security stuff.
Choose carefully, and you'll keep your places safer.
