Sure, you no longer need keys when you choose a Smart Lock. Never again. It may sound almost unbelievable, especially since we’re so used to carrying a set of keys—sometimes even a bundle bigger than a caretaker's. And if you have children or roommates, you know the chaos of "lost," "forgotten," or "can't find" keys. But opting for a Smart Lock brings much more than just eliminating keys. It transforms your home or workplace into a hassle-free space. Here are five reasons why switching to a Smart Lock could be the best decision you make.

1. Phone? Check! Ready to go
All you need when you walk out the door is your phone. In today’s world, it’s practical—especially since you can use your phone for payments too. So, keeping it charged is essential, but even that’s not a problem with Smart Locks. Most models, including Bold Smart Locks, work via Bluetooth, so as long as you have your phone nearby, your lock will detect it and let you in. And if your phone dies? No stress. Bold Smart Locks have a backup PIN feature, so you can still get in with a simple turn of the outside knob. You can now drastically reduce the size of your bag, or even say goodbye to your keyring.

2. Knowing who has been inside
A Smart Lock’s software makes it easy to track who enters and exits your home or office. Whether you’re at home, running a business, or renting out your property via platforms like Airbnb, you’ll have a record of who has been in and when. This feature is especially helpful if you’re dealing with multiple people you don’t know personally. The peace of mind knowing who’s been in your flat or office is priceless—and will definitely reduce stress.

 

3. You decide who opens the door and when
With traditional locks, you often have to get new keys made—whether for a neighbor in an emergency, your family members, or someone watering your plants while you're away. Then there’s the issue of tracking where all those keys go. A Smart Lock takes care of this hassle. With the Bold app, you can grant access to individuals for specific periods—whether it’s a family member who can always come in, the plant waterer while you’re on vacation, or the dog walker every Tuesday. No more lost keys or confusion. It’s all in your hands.

4. Help! I'm not here
It’s the middle of a downpour, and your visitors showed up early. You’re stuck in a traffic jam, and your child is outside freezing without their keys. It happens. The good news is, with a Smart Lock, you can open the door remotely through your smartphone. No matter where you are, your guests can stay inside, your kids will stay warm, and your important packages won’t be left in the delivery van. This convenience ensures everyone wins, and you don’t have to worry.

5.Standing in front of a closed door is a thing of the past
We’ve all been there: locked out, usually for the silliest reasons. Whether at home or the office, getting locked out can be a real headache. With a Smart Lock, especially one like the Bold Smart Lock that’s battery-powered, you won’t need a key anymore. All you need is your phone or a personal PIN to open the door. No more embarrassing knock-knock sessions with your neighbors or a frantic search for a spare key. Most importantly, it reduces the stress of getting locked out.
