Smart door locks are gaining popularity as people move towards electronic options. There are still many who prefer the traditional mechanical lock. Let's weigh the pros and cons of each option:

Mechanical locks are the ones that come to mind when we think of locks - the ones that require a key. While you need to keep track of keys, you won't have to worry about electronics failing or temperature affecting the lock. There are also hybrid options available that allow you to use both electronic and key access.
Electronic locks can be opened using a code or key tag, and some can even be controlled from your mobile phone. Opening the lock with your phone makes it easier for anyone who's forgotten their keys. But, electronic locks don't last as long as mechanical locks, and they can be problematic in extreme temperatures.

When choosing a lock, going for a two-function one is essential. For fire safety reasons, the lock needs a fail-safe system, which allows you to open it from the inside with a handle. Then you can get out quickly if necessary.

But it's not just about fire safety. The lock should be secured while away from home. This means that a burglar entering through the window shouldn't be able to get through the door, as the handle can be locked, and a key is required to unlock it.

Choose a lock marked with BS3621 – a standard by British Standards Institute (BSI) for locks resistant to theft. Before making a purchase, it's also a good idea to check with your insurance company to make sure the specific lock you're considering is approved by them.
