Why Two Entry Points Are Essential When Using Keyless Digital Locks
Why Two Entry Points Are Essential When Using Keyless Digital Locks
Installing a digital lock on your front door offers convenience, security, and modern appeal. However, when the digital lock lacks a key override, ensuring a second entry point to your home or apartment becomes critical.
Mitigating Risks of Lock Malfunctions
Digital locks rely on electronic components, batteries, or software, which can fail due to power outages, battery depletion, or technical glitches. Without a key override, a malfunctioning lock could leave you stranded outside your home. A second entry point, such as a back door, patio door, or garage entrance, provides an alternative way to access your home, preventing lockouts and ensuring you’re never completely barred from entry.
Supporting Maintenance and Repairs
Digital locks may require occasional maintenance, such as battery replacement or software updates. If the lock becomes inoperable during these processes, a second entry point ensures you can still enter your home. This is particularly important for apartment dwellers, where coordinating repairs with property management might take time, leaving the primary entrance unusable.
Conclusion
While keyless digital locks offer cutting-edge convenience, their lack of a key override introduces risks that can be mitigated by maintaining a second entry point. This precaution ensures safety, accessibility, and peace of mind, whether you’re dealing with technical failures, emergencies, or everyday practicalities. By planning for dual entry points, homeowners and apartment dwellers can enjoy the benefits of digital locks without compromising on security or convenience.

"Wearing my heart out to my amazing neighbours -
THANK YOU for an incredible year! 🙏🏼
Your generosity in donating lawnmowers to restore and resell has enabled me to volunteer in prison every month, sharing hope and encouragement with the guys inside. There are lives being changed, testimonies being born, and yes, there are also lives not changed YET... but I won't give up! 😊 I'll keep turning up, month after month, year after year, because I know there is lives to be change.
If you still have lawnmowers you don't want or have upgraded, please keep donating! Every mower contributes to the ripple effect of changing a man’s soul, which can change a nation. 🌟 Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and a happy, healthy new year! 🙏🏼 #blessed #gratitude #prisonministry #changinglives"

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
