Smart Lock or Traditional Lock?
By Slotenmaker Roermond & Regio
Smart Lock vs. Traditional Lock
Smart locks are becoming increasingly popular. But are they also better than traditional locks?
Advantages of smart locks
- Open without a key (app, code, fingerprint)
- Remotely manageable
- Track access history
- Temporary codes for guests
Disadvantages of smart locks
- Dependent on batteries/power
- Higher purchase costs
- Possible cybersecurity risks
- Not always insurance-approved
Traditional lock
A good traditional lock with SKG*** certification offers proven security and is accepted by all insurers. It is reliable, affordable, and requires no maintenance.
Our advice
For most homes, we recommend a high-quality traditional lock with an SKG*** cylinder and security fittings. This offers the best value for money and maximum security.
