What Is A Smart Door Lock?
The day has finally come when you can stop worrying about losing a physical house key and having to climb through the window of your home just to get in. Smart door locks turn your mobile device into your key, allowing for virtually touch-free entry as well as the bonus of other features that are impossible with traditional door locks.
Types of Smart Locks
There are essentially two kinds of connected door locks – Bluetooth and WiFi-enabled. The most commonly available devices are Bluetooth; while it lacks some of the integrative features of WiFi-enabled smart devices, Bluetooth does not require an internet connection to operate, making it (in theory) more secure as well as reliable.
Bluetooth door locks are operated via your mobile device. WiFi-enabled locks like RemoteLock can be operated from anywhere in the world, and you receive reports when someone enters your property.

Who would have imagined that the day would come when consumers could rekey their locks in three steps?
