Keyless door lock
Posted: June 16th, 2019, 11:54 am
Anticipating completion of my house purchase, I have in mind to install a new lock on the front door without the inconvenience of carrying a key around. That raises a few questions:
- Security. What standards/certifications do I need to look out for to ensure something meets insurance industry standards? Should I expect any difficulties there?
- Electronic vs Mechanical. As I understand it, electronic has benefits like being able to set one-off codes for guests, but the drawback of being at the mercy of your power supply. I'm not interested in gimmicks like operating it from my phone.
- Any general gotchas to look out for?
