Security is one of the most important features of a DIY home. Smart locks are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their security, and as tech advances, these locks are getting more advanced than ever before. How do the new smart locks work, are they DIY-friendly, and what are their advantages?
What's New in Smart Home Locks?
Smart locks have come a long way since their introduction. With recent updates, you can now unlock your door from anywhere by using a mobile app.
Moreover, some models come with sensors that can detect when doors are opened and closed without you needing to manually check. All of these features make smart locks an attractive option for any DIYer looking to update their home's security system without having to pay an additional installation fee.

Installing Smart Locks Yourself
One of the biggest advantages of getting a smart lock is that they're fairly easy to install yourself – even if you've never done any kind of home repair or door hardware upgrade before! Generally speaking, all you need is a screwdriver (or drill) and a little patience to get it up and running in no time. Most will come with detailed instructions on how to properly install them. It's best practice however that if you do something wrong during the installation or if something doesn't work correctly once installed, don't hesitate to call in professional help as repairs could be costly if not done correctly.
