Why Your Digital Lock Might Need an Upgrade Every 2–3 Years
Digital locks are a game-changer for convenience and security—no more fumbling for keys, easy code sharing, and sleek modern designs. But like any tech, they’re not “set and forget” forever. Here’s why we recommend upgrading your digital lock every 2–3 years:
Wear & Tear
Keypads, touchscreens, and internal parts get a workout every day. Over time, buttons fade, screens scratch, and moving parts can become less reliable—especially in our salty Auckland air!
Battery & Component Fatigue
Even with regular battery changes, internal electronics and motors can start to slow down or fail after years of use. This can lead to lockouts or security gaps.
Security Upgrades
Just like your phone or computer, digital locks evolve quickly. New models often include stronger encryption, better resistance to tampering, and improved weatherproofing—keeping you one step ahead of potential intruders.
Lifestyle Changes
Maybe you’ve switched to a smart home system, need easier access for guests, or want app-based control while you’re away. Newer locks offer more features to suit your needs.
Our Tip:
If your digital lock is starting to look worn, respond slowly, or you’ve had it for more than a couple of years, it might be time to explore an upgrade. The right new model will give you smoother operation, enhanced security, and a fresh look for your front door.
