Best deals on smart locks so you’ll never have to worry about unlocked doors

By

There are plenty of reasons to equip your home with a smart door lock, but the overriding motivator is security. With a smart lock on your entry door or doors, you win in two ways. First, smart locks add an extra level of protection in case someone tries to break into your home. Second, smart locks can improve your quality of life by reducing worry and anxiety.

Many people worry or at least wonder at times about whether they locked the door to the house. With a smart lock, you can lock up remotely. So if, for example, you’re about to board your flight and remember you didn’t check the front door, or don’t remember if you did, you can whip out your smartphone and get it done.

Different smart locks have a variety of additional features, but they can all add to your peace of mind and physical security — plus you don’t have to remember to carry a house key.

August and Yale smart locks gain added security with biometric verification
august and yale can now use biometric verification smart lock security features

A security system is only as strong as its weakest link, and in many connected systems, the weak link lies in the mobile device. If your phone has an easy-to-guess passcode (or worse, no passcode at all), anyone that gets their hands on it can unlock your smart lock, if you have no further protections. On Tuesday, August 24, August and Yale announced a plan to add an optional, additional layer of security to its smart systems through biometric verification using the built-in tools on your smartphone.

Users that opt in to this “Secure Remote Access” feature will need to provide their fingerprint or submit to facial recognition before they are able to unlock or lock their doors remotely. This means that even if someone gets their hands on your mobile device, they won’t be able to use it to gain access to your home.
