Smart Locks

Smart locks, like the Kwikset smart lock, are crucial for enhancing home security. Since the front door is a primary entry point, protecting it with a smart door lock ensures both security and convenience:

  • Adjustable Backset: Ensures that your new products fit most standard doors.
  • Multiple Finishes: Let your new door locks suit your home’s decor.
  • Remote Control: Access your lock from anywhere using your smartphone.
  • Battery-Powered: No wires to bend, fray, or fail during a power outage.
  • Z-Wave Networking: Secure, encrypted wireless control from different devices.

Southern Home Security can not be…

Southern Home Security can not be trusted. As a technician, I have worked in the industry since 2020 and I have never seen such poor leadership. They will send out the tech to do work but find a reason to keep the money for themselves. Customer accounts had wrong names, telephone numbers and improper equipment. Any mistakes or problems, the technician is liable. Promises are made to get what they want and when it sounds too good to be true, you can believe it is. I highly recommend avoiding Southern Home Security at all costs.

What are the disadvantages of a smart lock?

While smart locks offer convenience, there are some disadvantages:

Dependence on Power: Smart locks require batteries, and if they run out, you may be locked out unless you have a physical key.

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

Can a locksmith unlock a smart lock?

Yes, a locksmith can unlock a smart lock, including the Kwikset 620. If you forget your access code or if the lock malfunctions, a professional locksmith can help you gain entry.

Can keypad locks be hacked?

Yes, keypad locks can be vulnerable to hacking, particularly if they use weak codes or lack advanced security features. However, many modern smart locks, including the Kwikset 620, incorporate encryption and other security measures to mitigate these risks. It’s essential to use strong, unique codes and change them regularly to enhance security.

Do smart locks lock automatically?

Yes, in addition to smart locks’ internal auto-lock function, connecting a smart lock to your Southern Home Security system allows you to set rules and schedules. This feature adds an extra layer of security and convenience.

What is the lifespan of a smart lock?

The lifespan of a smart lock like the Kwikset 620 can vary, but many users report that they last years with proper care. 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.

Can I use my own smart home device?

Yes. Since the Southern Home Security system can integrate up to 120 different Z-Wave smart home devices, including smart locks from well-known brands like Kwikset and Yale, you can add the device you already own.
