From door and window locks to alarms and access systems, all your traditional home security products are being reinvented with the use of current technologies.
Wireless smart door locks are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a whole new level of convenience. You don’t need a key; you can just use your smartphone or enter a PIN. Some smart locks even automatically unlock your door as you walk up – great for when you’ve got your hands full.
