Should I install a smart lock?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
A smart lock is one of the most convenient smart home upgrades you can make. It lets you lock and unlock your door from your phone, create temporary codes for guests or service workers, and see who comes and goes. Most models install over your existing deadbolt and take about 15 minutes to set up. Look for locks with a physical key backup in case the battery dies. Smart locks are especially useful for families with children or rental properties.
Why It Matters
A smart lock adds convenience and peace of mind. You will never have to worry about lost keys or whether you remembered to lock the door again.
