Frequently Asked Questions
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 Brinks 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 Brinks Home 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.
