TypesofLocks.com has created a new resource on the increasing number of keyless locks available on the market for greater home security, some of which can be opened using a smartphone.
San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2015 -- Locks are one of the most important elements of home security, and provide the first line of defense against would-be burglars. However, the standard keyed locks on many homes are some of the easiest to pick, and far more advanced secure locking systems have been available for years. Now however, Types of Locks is reporting that a secure locking mechanism could not only be safe but convenient, with the ability to lock and unlock home doors using only a smartphone.
The new keyless entry locks can use a key fob, key card or combination lock system, but there is a new generation of locks which can be operated using a smartphone. These devices use similar authentication processes to banking apps and contactless payment, requiring PIN numbers or fingerprint scans before sending the signal for the door to unlock.
These smartphone-operated locks are currently entering their final prototype stages before commercial production, and could be an exciting development in 2016. The website even recommends locksmiths who specialize in next generation locking technology for individuals to contact.
A spokesperson for TypesOfLocks.com explained, "A dropped key can be picked up and used by anyone, where a phone's security is already far superior. The security measures included in the newest generation of smartphones make them ideal candidates to become the new key fob or authorization code, and their Bluetooth and 4G transmissions make communication with electronic locking easier than ever. Individuals may even be able to have webcams installed in their locks to see who is at the door, then unlock them remotely to permit access, even when they aren't at home themselves. This new technology is really going to open a lot of doors to safer home security technology."
