Cost: Smart locks can be more expensive than traditional locks, both in terms of purchase and potential installation fees.

It's essential to use strong, unique codes and change them regularly to enhance security.

Factors such as battery life, usage frequency, and environmental conditions can affect longevity. Regular maintenance and timely battery replacements can help extend its life. Battery charge levels are displayed on your control panel, and you will be sent an alert when the batteries need to be replaced.
