Digital keys come in various forms. For instance, it&#8217;s possible to open your door using an app with Bluetooth on your smartphone, with a pin code, with a remote control, or with a tag. Additionally, with some smart locks, it&#8217;s still possible to open the door with your physical key. Many smart locks offer multiple options for opening the door and accessing your home. Standing outside a locked door is a thing of the past, as is searching for your keys!<\/p>\n<p>To open the door using an app, with some smart locks, you don&#8217;t even need to be near your door. You can easily unlock the door over the internet from wherever you are. This means you can let your children in, allow a package delivery person entry, grant access to a housekeeper or handyman, all while you&#8217;re at work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a convenient and secure way to protect your home, often offering additional features such as tracking who comes and goes, and setting specific times for people to have access. A smart lock combines convenience with modern technology to keep your home safe. A frequently asked question is whether a smart lock can be hacked. Know that Smart Locks generally use high encryption like banks do, and in addition, smart lock manufacturers provide extra layers of security.

Instead of using a physical key, a smart lock can be operated using various methods, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smartphone App: Typically, there&#8217;s a dedicated app that you install on your smartphone. This app allows you to lock and unlock the smart lock remotely.<\/li>\n<li>Remote Control: Some smart locks come with a remote control, similar to that of a car.<\/li>\n<li>Pin Code: You can also set a unique pin code that you enter on a keypad on the smart lock itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A smart lock utilizes wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, or Z-Wave to communicate with your smartphone, remote control, or other devices. Some advanced smart locks offer biometric identification, such as fingerprint scanners or facial recognition, for added security.<\/p>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\r\n                          \r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full theme-p\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ontwerp-zonder-titel-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ontwerp-zonder-titel-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ontwerp-zonder-titel-2-768x224.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ontwerp-zonder-titel-2-1536x448.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ontwerp-zonder-titel-2-600x175.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading container aos-init aos-animate\" id=\"aioseo-wat-is-een-smart-lock\">What to consider when buying a Smart Lock?<\/h2>\n\n\n<section  class=\"wrapper\">\r\n\r\n\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"container\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\r\n        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                        <div class=\"col-12\">\r\n                <div class=\"col-md-10\"><h3>Door Compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to check if the smart lock you&#8217;re considering purchasing fits your door and if you have the correct size. Many smart locks, including those from LOQED, are suitable for almost all doors with the Euro-profile cylinder shape. LOQED provides an <a href=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/en\/installation\/\">installation check<\/a> where you can verify if your door is suitable for the LOQED Touch Smart Lock.<\/p>\n<h3>Unlocking and Locking Options<\/h3>\n<p>Each smart lock offers different methods to lock and unlock it. Consider options such as smartphone access, remote control, fingerprint, passcode, etc. It&#8217;s good to assess your own needs regarding door access. For example, the LOQED Touch Smart Lock is the only smart lock that opens with a single touch on the lock, as long as you have your smartphone with you. This means you don&#8217;t have to search for your key, remote control, or phone with full hands\u2014you can simply open your door with one touch. Other ways to unlock your LOQED lock include using your smartphone, a passcode, and soon, a remote control.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7639\" src=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loqed-smart-lock-touch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loqed-smart-lock-touch.jpg 900w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loqed-smart-lock-touch-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loqed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/loqed-smart-lock-touch-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Security<\/h3>\n<p>Security is crucial for a lock. Therefore, ensure that a smart lock has important certifications such as the SKG quality mark and the Police Hallmark Secure Living. The SKG quality mark indicates the strength, durability, quality, and burglary resistance. The number of stars indicates the level of burglary resistance, with 3 stars representing the highest possible level. The LOQED Touch Smart Lock has an SKG 3-star certificate.<\/p>\n<h3>Integrations<\/h3>\n<p>Do you already have other smart products and are you building a true smart home? Many smart locks can work together with other smart home products such as smart doorbells and smart lighting. A smart lock can complete your smart home! However, make sure to check beforehand if the smart lock integrates with your other smart products. You can see all the integrations LOQED has <a href=\"https:\/\/loqed.com\/en\/smart-home-integrations\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Sharing Access<\/h3>\n<p>If many people have keys to your house or if you want to grant access to your home in a specific way, consider how a smart lock allows you to do this. Do you need to purchase extra (costly) remote controls, or can you digitally share a key with your smartphone? This varies per smart lock. With LOQED, you can digitally share a key via your smartphone with whomever you choose. You can also set specific times for someone to have access.<\/p>\n<h3>Emergency Features<\/h3>\n<p>What if you forget your phone? What if you don&#8217;t have the remote control with you? What if the batteries are dead, either on your phone or the lock? It&#8217;s important to know the options for unlocking your lock in these situations. At LOQED, we&#8217;ve considered all possible scenarios and have emergency measures in place. This ensures you can always gain entry.
