Why Smart Locks for Single Latch Front Doors? The End of Key Anxiety.

• Eliminate Keys: No more lost, forgotten, or copied keys. Your phone, finger, or a code becomes your key.
• Unmatched Convenience: Grocery bags in both hands? A simple fingerprint touch or voice command (if integrated with a smart home system) lets you in. Need to let in a cleaner or a pet sitter? Grant them a temporary code that expires.
• Enhanced Security & Awareness: Receive instant notifications on your phone when the door is locked or unlocked. Keep a digital log of who comes and goes, and always know your home is secure.

Head-to-Head: Smart Deadbolt Lock vs. Smart Handle Lock

The Core Common Ground: Five Ways to Enter

1. Fingerprint Unlock: Advanced biometric sensors read your unique fingerprint for a highly secure and personal "one-touch" entry.
2. PIN Code Unlock: Create permanent codes for family, recurring codes for schedules, and one-time/vacation codes for guests. Perfect for controlled access.
3. Encrypted Key Card Unlock: An ideal, simple solution for children, elderly relatives, or anyone who prefers a tap-to-unlock method.
4. Smartphone App Unlock: Lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world. Check the status remotely and share access digitally.
5. Physical Key Unlock: A tried-and-true mechanical key backup for ultimate peace of mind during rare emergencies like a complete power failure.

• 9-Month Battery Life: Powered by 4 standard AA batteries, both locks are engineered for efficiency, providing up to 9 months of normal use before needing a change.
• Low-Battery Warning: The system proactively alerts you. You'll hear an audible beep upon use and receive a push notification to your phone when battery levels drop below 20%, giving you ample time to replace them.
• Emergency Power Port: The ultimate safety net. If the batteries are completely drained, you can use a power bank to temporarily power the lock and unlock the door.
  • Key Difference: The Smart Deadbolt Lock features a dedicated emergency charging port designed for use with its included proprietary cable. The Smart Handle Lock utilizes a universal Type-C emergency charging port for maximum convenience.

The Key Differences: Form, Function, and Perfect Fit

• Dual Designs for Your Aesthetic:
  • Modern & Sleek: Features clean lines and a minimalist, tech-forward appearance.
  • Classic & Refined: Offers softer edges and a more traditional, elegant look.
  • Two Color Choices:
    • Matte Black: A versatile, bold, and sophisticated choice that complements modern, industrial, and dark-colored doors.
    • Satin White: A crisp, clean option that blends beautifully with light-colored doors, farmhouse styles, and Scandinavian interiors.
• Ideal Use Cases & Advantages:
  • Maximum Security Focus: The deadbolt is the workhorse of door security. Its solid, thick bolt is inherently more resistant to forced entry.
  • Clear Operation: The interior side is typically a thumb-turn or knob, providing a distinct, reassuring action when manually locking.
  • Preserves Existing Handle: A great choice if you already have a high-quality or designer handle you love and only want to upgrade the locking mechanism.
  • Best For: Main entry doors, front doors, and any exterior door where physical security is the top priority.

• Unified, Streamlined Design:
  • Presents a cohesive, integrated look that modernizes the entire door.
  • Currently available in a timeless Black finish, ensuring it pairs well with virtually any door color and style.
• Ideal Use Cases & Advantages:
  • Peak Convenience: The most natural way to open a door. After authentication, you simply depress the handle and enter in one seamless motion.
  • Fast Egress: From the inside, a quick push on the handle lever guarantees instant exit, which is crucial for safety.
  • Complete Solution: No need for a separate handle; this one unit does it all.
  • Best For: While suitable for front doors, it excels as a smart lock for interior rooms. Perfect for home offices, bedrooms, gyms, storage closets, or utility rooms. You can assign unique codes or fingerprints to manage privacy and access to specific spaces within your home.

The Decision Matrix: Which Smart Lock is for You?

• Choose the Smart Deadbolt Lock if: Your front door's ultimate security is your primary concern, you wish to retain your current handle, or you want the flexibility of two distinct designs and color finishes (Black or White) to match your home's decor perfectly.
• Choose the Smart Handle Lock if: You value the most fluid and convenient entry experience, you're looking for a complete handle replacement, or your main goal is to secure and manage interior rooms with smart access control. Its classic black finish and universal Type-C charging are safe and stylish bets.

Installation & Peace of Mind

• Battery Care: Heed the low-battery warnings. Keep spare AA batteries on hand for a quick swap.
• Fingerprint Clarity: Register your fingerprint from multiple angles and keep the sensor clean for fastest recognition.
• Code Management: Use the app to manage user codes effectively, deleting temporary ones after use.
• Emergency Plan: Store the physical backup key in a secure off-site location like your car or a trusted neighbor's house. Ensure you have the correct emergency charging cable (provided with the lock) readily available.
