Q: Are smart locks safer than conventional locks?

• <div><p>Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. </p><p>Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience&mdash;you won't have to worry about your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/key-not-turning-in-lock.htm">key not turning in the lock</a> or fumbling around in your bag for your keys&mdash;but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security. </p></div>

Q: Which type of lock is the safest?

• <div><p>Any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-deadbolts.htm">type of dead bolt</a> lock provides the highest level of safety for a single device. However, it&rsquo;s also important to determine a lock's grade. Locks can come in either Grade 1, Grade 2, or Grade 3, which indicates how durable it is and if it&rsquo;s constructed solidly. Safety experts recommend choosing locks based on Grade 1, which offers the highest level of durability. </p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a door lock?

• <div><p>Proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-keys-proper-door-lock-maintenance.htm">door lock maintenance</a> includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.</p></div>

Q: Is smart lock safer than traditional lock?

• <div><p>A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it&rsquo;s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install or repair commercial locks?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, but high-security systems or multiple lock installations may require additional time.</p></div>
