August Smart Lock Pro
Security is extremely important as a homeowner. You need to protect your property from thieves, who are always looking for new ways to bypass locks in order to steal your valuables or harm your family.
In order to give yourself an extra layer of security, you should look into getting a smart lock. For a premium quality smart lock, the August Smart Lock Pro is a great option due to its variety of features and safety measures.
This lock is incredibly easy to install. It’s often a hassle to get some smart locks working, because you need to disassemble your old lock setup and get new keys for it, but that’s not the case with this lock.
Instead, all you need to do is install it over a deadbolt that you probably already have installed. It doesn’t require any modifications to your original lock, and it can be installed from inside, so you don’t even have to do any work on the outside.
This actually increases security quite a bit, because nobody will have any way of telling that you have a smart lock, and they’ll just assume you have a regular run-of-the-mill deadbolt.
Because it’s a smart lock, you can control this device primarily with your phone. With the app, you’ll be able to lock and unlock it from anywhere, meaning that if a friend needs to drop something off, you can simply unlock the door remotely instead of having to drive all the way home to meet them there.
Another feature the app has is an activity tracker. This shows you when, how, and who unlocked and locked your door. With multiple people tied to the same lock, you can see if someone in your family unlocked the door at a certain time, and it will also show you when the door is unlocked manually or when it was unlocked with the app itself.
This can help alert you to any unwanted intrusions, because you’ll be alerted if someone managed to manually enter the house. If you happen to forget to lock the door yourself, no worries.
This door automatically locks itself once it detects that you’ve left, meaning you’ll never again have to deal with worrying about your lock back at home. If you really wanted to make sure, though, you could always check the app for the status of the lock, and lock it at will if it’s somehow still unlocked.
