Not sure if this is better here or in electronics?
I’m looking at smart locks - my partner has problems with her hands that makes keys painful to use. But I’ve got security screen door as well as primary external doors. My partner also has a small child. I was thinking about adding some smart locks to my office door, and the cupboards where I keep poisons in the garage and medicines in the bathroom. Current old school locks are pretty annoying to use every day when I take meds,
Seems like a pain in the ass to need seperate systems for that stuff. But I’m failing at Google and can’t find a company that does security screens, regular doors and internal cabinet style locks on a single system. Has anyone else had the same requirement set and found an option?
I could probably do the install myself, but for my front door I’d probably rather pay someone else o make sure it’s done right without any cosmetic fuckups left there forever…. but none of the installers I’ve looked at give even indicative pricing for a simple install in Melbourne suburbs. They all want all contact info so they can come do a quote and put on the hard sell or something. Has anyone paid for that kind of thing or familiar with the industry who who could give me a ball park for price?
And for folks living with smart locks - any tips on which features are essential or what’s a stupid idea that only sounds good until you try it? My partner has one of the ikea smart locks on an old bed frame and I don’t really want to carry a full-size prox card around at home, are there smaller tokens or phone proximity systems that actually work? Using Google Assistant for most of the smart home stuff we have at the moment and iOS devices if it matters.
Have you looked at Samsung push and pull range seems to be the best option since it requires literally no effort to unlock. It needs at least 8 batteries and I think mine usually last 6-7 months averaging 15 entries
