Sure, you can still use a regular ol' key to open a smart-lock-equipped door (or most of them, anyhow), but don't be too quick to discount the convenience of connectivity - especially when your hands are full of grocery bags, squirming tiny humans or anything else that makes it tough to rummage around for your keys. Not only will they make sure you never again have to drop everything in your hands to look for keys, but smart locks can lock and unlock your door from anywhere and extend digital "keys" to friends, family, caregivers or anyone else who regularly visits your home. While smart locks won't necessarily make your home any safer, they do allow for more control and efficiency. These smart home devices allow you to unlock doors from anywhere through an app on your phone, or they can open when you're in close proximity to your front door.
