Shall I install Electronic Door Lock?

We are introduced to new technologies daily that make our life easier. A keyless entry system is one of the innovations that protect our property and makes us feel safer. If you’re contemplating whether to install a keyless lock to your home or not, we break down some pros and cons for you to make the right decision. 

Advantages of an electronic door lock

• No more losing key, as you won’t need to carry around a key.
• No need to set an appointment with somebody to give a key. If someone is visiting or home sitting your place when you’re away, you simply give them a code to your electronic door lock. 
• In case you need to keep tracking, some electronic door locks allow you to see who enters or exits the home, how frequently and at what time.
• If you’re renting your house or apartment out when on vacation, both tenant and cleaning lady can enter the code to enter, instead of you hiding the key under the rug or waiting around to give it to them. 
• You won’t be locked out of the apartment by leaving the key inside. 

Disadvantages of an electronic door lock

• Even technology can be unreliable sometimes we can’t rely on technology. Power failure or other circumstances might cause some issues with the system and cause some problems entering the house. 
• There’s a chance you forget a code, you need to change immediately as you assume someone knows it. There's always an easy solution calling Fast Local Locksmith.
• It’s a bit more expensive to install it than your door to have a traditional lock.

to summarize, it will be a good decision to install an electronic door lock, if you follow three important rules: changing codes from time to time so that buttons won’t get worn and your code won’t become visible for an intruder. Second, it’s a good idea to have a traditional key as a backup. Third, let the professional do it for you.
