Electronic Door Locks: 5 Misconceptions Clarified

15- 02- 2022
By OOm Pte Ltd

Of all home devices and gadgets, electronic door locks are arguably one of the most useful items because of their security benefits and convenience. Being able to leave the house and return home without worrying about getting locked out from forgetting your keys is one of the reasons why electronic door locks are a hot favourite amongst the younger generation homeowners. 

Aside from the convenience of not having to carry your keys with you everywhere you go, electronic door locks also provide additional security features that help keep your home safe every day.

However, due to the novelty of these electronic door locks, many people still have misconceptions about them. Today, we’ll clarify some of these misconceptions to help you understand why electronic door locks are a good investment. 

1. Will not function when there are power cuts

Despite their name, electronic door locks are not powered by electricity. Instead, the majority of them run on batteries. This is why even when there is a power cut, electronic door locks can still function normally. If you're concerned about batteries draining without your knowledge, you'll be relieved to know that most locks will notify you weeks before they run out of power. This means you have enough time to replace the batteries before they stop working.

2. It will not function if there’s a fire

Today's electronic door locks include an advanced sensor that detects fire and automatically grants access to the homeowner. This is a significant advantage because, in the event of a fire or a panic, a mechanical lock may require more effort to unlock than an electronic lock.

3. Easily broken into

Breaking into or hacking an electronic door lock is a difficult task because these locks now include numerous security features that discourage break-ins. Some of these features include:

  • Multi-authentication via PIN, keycard, biometric and mobile phone accessibility options. Biometric access options will always be the safest because it requires a registered fingerprint to unlock.
  • A built-in alarm system that rings when someone tries to force your door open.
  • WiFi-enabled electronic door locks that notify you whenever your door is opened or closed. You will be alerted immediately if someone breaks into your home. 
  • Time-based access controls and scheduling features allow you to program locking and unlocking schedules to keep your door locked when you don’t want it to open. 

4. Difficult to install

Contrary to popular belief, installing an electronic door lock is a relatively simple task that takes between 30 minutes and an hour to complete. Some electronic door locks can be installed with an existing deadbolt, while others may require a mechanism swap.

Electronic lock companies will also install the lock for you and teach you how to use it so you don't have to figure it out on your own.

5. Will be damaged when exposed to rain and sun

Many people believe that electronic door locks will deteriorate when exposed to rain and sunlight. However, that is not true. Most electronic locks are rubber-sealed on the outside, and the motherboard is coated to protect it from harsh weather conditions. Rain and shine have no effect on the operation of your electronic locks.

What do you think about these home security devices now that your misconceptions about electronic door locks have been cleared up? Electronic locks relieve you of a mental burden you didn't realise you had and can make your life a lot easier.
