Remote Front Door Locks

If you've ever been locked out of your house or business, you know how stressful that can be. If you are running late for work, and then losing access to your home, can jam things up. Luckily, there is an easy way to avoid this problem: remote front door locks.

Remote door locks use a keypad or app on your phone to unlock and lock doors without having to be present at the location where they are installed. In this guide, we'll explain what these devices are and how they work so that you can decide if one might be right for you!

Control Your Remote Door Lock With Your Phone

Firstly, you’ll need to install an entrance lock that has a remote smart lock, like the Yale Unity Entrance Lock. This entrance lock connects with the Yale Connect Bridge which you plug into a wall socket. Once the connect bridge is paired with your entrance lock you can download the Yale app and use it to lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world.

Smart Locks Do More Than Lock And Unlock

If you're going out of town and want to make sure that no one comes into your apartment while you're away, a smart lock can be used to restrict access to specific spaces. Or, if you have a guest arriving but are leaving for work before then, you can set the lock to grant access only during a certain time of the day.

Restrict Access To Specific Spaces

Remote door locks can also be used to restrict access to specific spaces. You can set up temporary or permanent access permissions for guests, as well as restrict access by time and day. For example, you can set your front door lock so that your kids won't be able to get in after school until you arrive home from work, or tell your dog sitter how long she has to let the dog out before locking it again.

You Don't Have To Worry About Forgetting Keys

Electronic locks are the most convenient and secure way to open a door. You don’t have to worry about changing locks or losing your keys — everything is done through your smartphone. You can track who is coming in and out of your space and allow people into your property without having to physically be there.

Voice Assistant Compatible

The Yale Connect Bridge is also voice assistant compatible which means you can integrate Alexa, Google and other technologies for hands-free control. You can program your smart lock to lock when you leave or use your voice to do it on your way out.
