Whether you are a business owner looking to protect your office space, or you’re a home-owner looking to install some security software, you’ve come to the right place. This blog will take a deeper dive into the pros and cons of locks vs. security systems. Continue reading below to discover what the benefits and differences may be. 

Locks

Some pros of having a lock on your property are that you can physically ensure safety, you can pick and choose who gets access to the key, and with technology rising, you can keep up with the newest smart locks for your property. Smart locks can be accessed through a mobile device or simply by the touchpad on the lock. Whether you’ve forgotten to lock your door after you’ve left, or you’re granting access to someone using your property, a smart lock allows for you to lock and unlock your doors from wherever you are. 

One of the biggest cons of having a lock is that keys can be duplicated easily. When put into the wrong hands, that key could make its way into the hands of several others. Whether you are a business owner lending out your key to an employee, or the parent of a child that may need it to unlock the house door after school, be sure to let the key holder know how important it is to keep the key safe. 

Security Systems

Having a security system allows for peace of mind, no matter where you are. Whether you have a large office with multiple entrances, and you’re looking to keep them secured, or you’re a homeowner with kids or pets and you’d like to keep track of their whereabouts, security systems provide this reassurance for all. 

A con of a security system is that sometimes, cameras do not do it’s full justice. If you’re looking to physically protect your property, you need to ensure that your security system has cameras and locks installed for maximum protection. It is worth it to take the extra step and ensure that your home or business is locked and watched from a far.
