Why use a smart door lock

Biometric Fingerprint Door Locks are part of a larger smart home trend that allows you to control certain electronics in your house with a fingerprint or password, smart card. There are two main types of smart locks available on the market today, deadbolts and doorknobs. The majority of smart locks are deadbolts, so we focused on that type while searching for review candidates.



To narrow the field further, we chose smart locks that still use a physical key. With a physical key, you can override the lock in situations where you might otherwise be locked out such as if you lose the smart or remote control, the lock has a dead battery. We also tested each keyless lock in our review to see how it performs in four categories: security, convenience, design and technical support. In each category, we created tests to gauge performance of tasks and reliability. This gave us a hands-on look at each lock's strengths and weaknesses. Any review of smart locks should also consider what makes an excellent lock.



Avent Security digital door locks used the stainless steel as a raw material. This stainless steel is purposely designed to absorb more energy without breaking. The stronger resistance to corrosion keeps a longer life time for the finish. The Pin Code Door Lock has the random password protection system. You can add any number before or after the real password and make sure no one will see the password. Most of the Pin Code Door Lock have a high quality black touch screen key pad. There is no more worry about leaving the fingermark on the screen. Avent Security chose to use the simple designs. But the products are full of power. This means that the lock offers the most resistance to forced entry and traditional lock picking.

Installation is easier than you think

A electronic keypad lock is arguably the most important part of a truly smart, connected home. Not only will it allow you to come and do as you please, it will also record who is entering and leaving your home. Some model from Avent Security Keyless Door Lock simply let you use your fingerprint and passcode to open and close the door, which can more secure your house.


One of the first things you will want to consider is the installation. None of the locks we have tested are especially difficult to install, but some are easier than others. If your new lock comes with both an interior escutcheon ( the housing you mount on the inside of your door ) and an exterior component ( usually a touchpad or a keyed cylinder ) you will probably have to completely remove your old lock, including the deadbolt mechanism and strike plate, before you can install the new device. This is simply a matter of removing the two bolts that attach the interior escutcheon to the exterior component and removing both pieces. The deadbolt is also held in place by two screws.



The good news is that the Avent Security keypad door lock used the standard pre-drilled holes so you don’t have to worry about drilling new ones. Additionally, there are smart locks available that attach to the inside of your door and are designed to use your existing keyed cylinder and deadbolt hardware, which means you only have to remove the interior escutcheon. Either way, you can count on spending anywhere from 10-25 minutes removing your old lock and installing your new smart one.

How we start to pick the smart door lock

These devices have differing capabilities, so apples-to-apples (or even oranges) comparisons weren’t always possible. Nonetheless, our assessments quickly boiled down to a question of whether key features were available, and if so, whether the “smart” features made the devices more convenient or functional than a standard smart card hotel door lock.


In appraising these locks, we took a close look at the ease or difficulty of installation and the apparent quality and security of the lock hardware and assembly. We noted the differences between locks that mounted cleanly and offered weather resistance and a few that didn’t properly seal or required finagling to properly latch. In addition to testing how smoothly and quietly the locks functioned via an app, we checked whether they were comfortable to use manually. And not least, as these devices are intended to occupy a prominent location in your home, where they’ll be visible not only to you every day but also to any guests you have, we took note of their relative aesthetic appeal—a subjective rating, for sure.


We made our picks primarily based on ease of use and convenience. But some of the keypad-based alternatives (in particular, our alternative pick, the Avent Security Fingerprint Door Lock) may better fulfill some needs. If, for instance, your needs are more about a desire to go completely keyless, a keypad may be more versatile—after all, it’s far easier to share a simple digit code (which you can erase at any time). A keypad lock is also easier for children to master, and it all but eliminates the possibility of your being locked out of your house. If your needs are less about a lock’s brains and more about versatility, and you don’t get tripped up by the aesthetics of a number pad on your door, a keypad door lock is an option worth.

No more to worry about losing key

Smart locks bring a level of convenience and flexibility to a host of real-life scenarios that once were sources of nagging bottlenecks and frustration. They cost a lot more than their non-smart counterparts, but the added ease and peace of mind can be worth the splurge if your budget allows.


Beyond letting you dispense with having to carry your house keys whenever you go out (consider, for example, the benefit of not having to take a key along when you go for a run), the Avent Security key card hotel lock allow you to set the fingerprint as the key and set a passcode as the key to unlock the door. You can set several temporary passcode in advance. And when the guests come, you can send a temporary passcode to a houseguest. Parents with latchkey kids can keep track of when the children come home after school (or after a party) through the management software. On the other hands, the parents also no need to worry about the children will tell anyone the passcode of the lock. Parents can help the children set their fingerprint as the key to unlock the door, so that you are no need to worry about the passcode breach. The Avent Security Fingerprint Door Lock used the high quality black touch screen keypad.


You are no need to worry about leaving the fingermark on the screen. These models also had the random password protection system. The random password protection make you can add any number before the real password, and then secure you better. The rf card door lock also has a lock status indicator. The digital tube display in the battery case can shows the authorization, power, connection and user ID, these messages can helps you to understand the status of the lock easily.
