Modern access options
Smart locks and access control
Discuss keyless entry, controlled access and suitable locking options for homes, landlords and commercial property.
Choose the system around the property and users
A smart lock or access-control system should be selected for the door, the number of authorised users, the required audit or scheduling features and what happens during power or connectivity failure.
Not every product suits every door. Mechanical security, emergency access and day-to-day management should be considered alongside convenience.
Access options to discuss
Smart locks
App, keypad or credential-controlled locks for suitable doors.
Keypads
Code-based access where controlled entry is required.
Electronic access
Options for selected commercial and managed premises.
User management
Consider how codes or credentials are issued and removed.
Backup access
Plan for battery, power, network or device failure.
Existing doors
Assess whether current hardware and door construction are suitable.
Frequently asked questions
Will a smart lock fit my existing door?
Compatibility depends on the lock, door construction and chosen product.
What happens if the battery fails?
Suitable systems should have a documented low-battery warning and backup-access method.
Are smart locks suitable for businesses?
Some systems are, but user management, fire-safety and operational requirements must be considered.
