Since the beginning, humankind has always looked for ways and solutions to make life easier. The proof? Everything around us - clothes, shoes, cars, our transportation, and of course, our means of communication.

So, why are we still stuck with the old ways of using a lock and key to keep things safe? It's time to relook at safety and security through a digital lens, with Häfele!

Digital locks are the new gold standard of safety, but having said that, there's still a cloud of misconception surrounding these pieces of secure technology. And today, we're here to answer all your queries once and for all.

Myth #1- Digital locks can easily be hacked

Contrary to popular belief, digital locks or even smart locks aren’t that easy to hack into. Why? Digital locks are designed with safety mechanisms and anti-tampering technology to keep them and you safe. Both of these are programmed to send you an instant alert in case someone unknown is trying to enter your home. Additionally, Häfele digital locks have triple-layered safety - codes, facial and fingerprint recognition, and anti-intruder alarms to keep you and your home safe.

Myth #2- You could easily be locked out without a key

While there is a chance of forgetting or losing your keys with traditional locking mechanisms, causing you to be locked out or wait hours for someone to come with an extra set of keys; with digital locks, that’s never the case. Why? Because you’re always carrying your keys with you. Yes, we’re talking about your fingers and your face. Häfele digital and smart door locks have more than just a coded keypad. They come equipped with fingerprint and facial recognition so that you never get locked out.

Myth #3- Digital locks are expensive

In comparison to traditional locks and keys, digital locks are expensive. However, they also come with additional features that give you safety, security, and privacy like no other. And so if you break it down, it’s giving you more value for money, even if it is more expensive than regular locks and keys.

Myth #4 - You need to be extremely tech savvy to use digital locks

Remember how people used to think that the internet could only be used by big businesses or knowledgeable people when the truth was far from it? That's exactly the case with the Häfele digital locks. They are easy to install, set up and operate. They are designed to fit any door, wardrobe, or cabinet, and most come with a simple installation guide for you to begin your safety journey.
