Access control lock systems are commonly found in businesses, but the advanced lock technology has several uses for your home. As an alternative to traditional keys, the access control locks serve as keyless entry options and include several unlocking methods like keypads, fobs, and access cards.
Consider four different ways to use access control at your home and add some extra security to specific areas.
1. Personal Closets
The bedroom closet in your home is an ideal place to store valuables, including extra money and jewelry. You could also use a closet space to store weapons like knives or guns. Because of this, you may want to keep the area protected from other people in the home or possible intruders.
An access control panel will allow you to go into the closet any time you need without relying on the key. A keypad lock will come with a programmable security code so you can set a passcode that only you know.
2. Sheds and Garages
As you complete work in your backyard, carrying keys around can become a hassle. But you can easily access lawn mowers and other landscaping equipment with access control locks. A keypad lock will not only include a number code but extra security features.
For example, the lock can include an automatic locking mechanism when the door shuts again. So if you're pushing out the lawn mower and the door shuts, then you do not have to take extra time to lock the shed again. The same lock technology also works well on garage doors.
Some of the locks may include key fob technology which will unlock a door when the fob is near. For example, if you are carrying garbage or recycling to the garage, then you do not have to pull out a key and juggle the items you carry around.
3. Fence Gates
Add security both inside and outside of your yard's fence gates with access control panels. If you have children, you can prevent them from getting outside a gate with the access control locks. The tamperproof locks will prevent the child from opening the gate.
The same access control on the outside gate prevents anyone from getting inside the property as well. The extra layer of security adds to any security you have on your home. And advanced access control locks include app connections.
When you walk up to the lock with access control, the lock will automatically open to provide easy access through the gate. As you walk up to the gate of your home, you can carry groceries and other items without digging out keys. This will allow you to easily enter and exit your property as the lock connects with the phone and authorizes entry access. If you don't have your phone, a keypad back-up option can also let you enter the gate with ease.
4. Parcel Boxes
If you have concerns about package thieves or porch pirates, then consider a parcel box. The secure parcel box includes an opening on the top where the packages drop down. A lock will keep the access area secure and ensure your packages stay protected.
Replace the standard parcel box lock with a more secure access control panel. When you need to retrieve mail and packages, you can use a code or fob to enter the parcel box area. The extra security is especially helpful for times when you have more packages delivered, including the holiday season.
