Digital Door Lock vs Smart Door Lock

Digital Door Locks refer to locks that use electronic components, such as keypads, fingerprint scanners, or card readers, to provide access control. These locks typically require a code, biometric scan, or proximity card to unlock the door. They offer keyless entry and eliminate the need for traditional keys.

On the other hand, Smart Door Locks combine digital access control with advanced connectivity and smart features. These locks can be integrated into a home automation system or connected to a smartphone via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other wireless technologies. Smart door locks offer additional functionality such as remote access, real-time notifications, and compatibility with voice assistants or smart home devices. With a smart door lock, you can control and monitor your lock remotely, receive alerts about lock activity, and manage access privileges from your smartphone.

In summary, while all smart door locks are digital door locks, not all digital door locks are smart. A Smart door lock offers the added benefits of connectivity, remote access, and integration with other smart devices, making them a popular choice for those seeking keyless entry.

Choosing the Correct Lock

Existing Doors

For existing doors, it is recommended to choose a smart digital door lock that has a similar locking hardware mechanism to the existing lock (such as latch, deadbolt, or both). This helps to minimize modifications to the door and reduces installation costs.

For example, if your current lock is a mortise style, selecting a smart mortise door lock would be ideal. Similarly, if you have a latch or deadbolt type lock, you can consider options from the smart deadbolt or smart lever range.

New Doors

For new doors, the possibilities are endless when it comes to installing a smart door lock. You have the freedom to choose from a wide range of smart lock options that best suit your preferences and requirements.

Whether you prefer a keypad lock, fingerprint lock, or a combination of different access methods, you can explore various models to find the perfect fit for your new door.

With a new door installation, you have the opportunity to integrate the smart lock seamlessly into the design and functionality of the door, offering convenience, security, and modern technology right from the start.
