A Smart Lock<\/strong> is essentially an electromechanical lock that can be unlocked via an app, code, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or biometric recognition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While conventional mechanical locks are operated purely with a physical key, electronic systems use digital signals \u2014 for example via smartphone or keypad \u2014 to move the locking bolt.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
