4 Things To Consider When Choosing A Digital Door Lock In Singapore

03- 01- 2022
By Matthew Leu

Digital door locks were uncommon in Singapore for they were thought of as locks that could not keep our home secure. However, if you’ve ever been locked out of your own home because you forgot to bring your keys out, you’ll acknowledge the advantage these digital locks bring. Not only that, but digital door locks provide numerous advantages that traditional locks and keys do not.

There are many different types of digital door locks in Singapore, the most popular ones being Samsung digital locks. Aside from Samsung door locks, there are numerous other brands of digital locks to consider. But, before buying yourself a digital lock, here are a few things to think about.

1. Access Mode

The digital door locks we see in Korean dramas are mostly unlocked with a digital passcode, but if you're worried about forgetting your passcode, there are plenty of other ways to unlock a digital lock. Here are the different types of access modes and what you should take note of.

A. Passcode

Password digital door locks are one of the most popular types in Singapore because they are simple and easy to use. You don't need to carry a key or a card, and you can simply unlock your door with a password. The issue is that if you or a family member has difficulty remembering passcodes, this may not be the best access mode for you.

B. Biometric

Biometric digital door locks are unlocked with a scan of your fingerprint. It is a popular method of access because it provides additional security - no one can duplicate or share your fingerprint. To unlock your biometric doors, no keys or cards are required.

However, young children do not have their fingerprints fully developed and the elderly may have faded fingerprints. Hence, if you have children or the elderly in your family, consider getting one with multiple access modes, such as biometric and card. This allows you to continue using your fingerprint while others use the access card to unlock the door.

C. Bluetooth

Bluetooth digital door locks unlock when your mobile phone is within range and synced with the lock. Bluetooth door locks allow you to access and customise all functions via a mobile app, but you may be locked out of your home if your phone runs out of battery. 

D. Card/RFID

Card and RFID locks are widely used in commercial buildings because they allow businesses to grant different levels of access to various groups of people. These locks are very easy to use and can be unlocked with a tap of the card. 

You won’t get to enjoy the convenience of not having to bring a key out with this door lock because you will still need to carry your access card around to unlock the door.

You may feel that each mode of access has its cons as well, which makes it difficult to make a choice. However, there are many digital door locks on the market that provide multiple access modes, such as a passcode + card+ biometric, biometric + passcode, or passcode + card. You don’t have to settle for one mode of access and you get to enjoy all the benefits when you choose a lock with more than one access mode.

2. Features You Need

Digital Door Locks Best For Child Safety

Aside from the access mode, digital door locks have plenty of other features. The most basic lock keeps your door locked and secure, but higher-quality digital locks may include child-proof or pet-proof safety buttons, alarm systems, and even the ability to set one-time visitor codes.

Some models, like the Samsung SHS-DP609 digital door lock, can even be controlled via a mobile app. You can use your phone to set lock timings and even see when your door is unlocked.

3. Property Type

For rental or investment properties, a mid-range digital door lock with card access modes should suffice; we recommend selecting one that allows you to overwrite any access if necessary. If you are thinking about getting a digital lock for your home, you can consider locks with additional features for added security.

4. Budget

Last but not least, your budget. There are many different types of digital door locks available, with something to suit every budget. If you're on a tight budget, you can always go for the most basic digital locks that only have one mode of access.

If you have the financial means, consider getting WiFi-enabled door locks and those with more features to keep your home secure. Whatever you choose, digital door locks will always be significantly more secure than traditional locks and keys.
