A smart lock can provide an additional level of security for a home. It offers the convenience of remote control access and the ability to share temporary PIN codes for short-term tenants or emergency responders, surpassing the functionality of traditional door locks and keys. Installing a smart lock also eliminates worries about keys getting lost, stolen or copied, reducing the likelihood of burglary and giving extra convenience to property managers.
