What Are Smart Digital Door Locks And How Do They Work

Remember those days when you're halfway to the office, and you frantically wonder whether you carried the house key with you. Now that smart digital door locks are gaining popularity, you may not have to live in anxiety of misplacing a house key anymore. So, read ahead as we tell you how such smart home automation has benefited our door security systems, slowly turning the use of traditional padlocks obsolete.

What Is A Smart Digital Door Lock?

A traditional door lock is an object which is only made for a single key, whereas a smart digital lock can be controlled and managed with other "smarter" technology such as Wifi or Bluetooth. These locks can also connect with other devices such as your smartphone, where you can access the lock's app and manage your home security with ease.


Some digital locks (such as the Hafele Re-Mote lock system) can even be made accessible remotely by you from anywhere around the globe, which is certainly not possible to do with a regular door lock! These locks are highly useful if you are constantly travelling for work and need to ensure complete safety and care of your children or aging parents at home today. Overall - smart digital locks offer you a keyless security system, where all you have to do is enter the password on a keypad or scan a fingerprint to enter your home.

How Does A Smart Digital Lock Work?

Like any other door lock, digital locks also use a latch or a bolt, which runs from the door and the doorframe to prevent access. However, these locks use an electronic or battery-operated system to control the bolt where the motor in these digital locks requires an electronic impulse. Thus, these door lock systems will only provide you access when you enter an electronic input such as a passcode, fingerprint, etc.

Benefits of Digital Door Locks

The major advantage of a smart digital lock is that it can match your specific lifestyle, working for you at your convenience. The digital door locks by Hafele do this exceptionally well for you as they come with incredible features, which make it easy for you to manage home access. This is why they are soon becoming preferred options over regular locks.
