Tech: Smart Locks

We have come a long way with advancements in technology. One of the fastest growing categories is Smart Home Techn0logy. From Smart thermostats to fulling integrated Smart Home Systems, there are tons of new gadgets for the home. One of the newest things we recently discovered is Smart Locks. If you’re carrying heavy shopping bags or a crying child, unlocking your door can be quite a feat. Smart locks take the guesswork out of using a key by automating your front door to unlock or even open as you approach.

There are a few different companies out there from the all-inclusive Okidokeys to the sleek Goji, to the deceptively standard looking Kevo. Each as features that are unique to its brand so you are sure to find one that fits your style and needs. Our personal favorite is the Goji Smart lock. It fits over your current deadbolt front and back and will actually greet you by name. It also will take a picture of anyone that approaches your door. Much like the Ring doorbell system.
