allow you to send access to other users
from your mobile device without having to
get extra keys cut. As mentioned before,
the smart home lock ties into all the smart
home technology and allows the user to
have one home solution including their
access encompassed in their own smart
phone. With a smart home lock there
is no need to carry keys around which
eliminates the chances of lost or stolen
keys, it will also allow you to cancel keys
on the go if you need to restrict access.
WHAT ARE THE MISCONCEPTIONS
OF SMART TECHNOLOGY AND HOW
IT CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF - OR
ALONGSIDE - MORE TRADITIONAL
SECURITY SOLUTIONS?
I think the main misconception of smart
technology is how secure it is. SALTO
and Danalock use the highest level of
encryption for this kind of data (AES256).
Also because it retains a euro cylinder
this still complies with home insurance
standards. I think the other main
misconception is that smart technology
is expensive! SALTO have proven this
wrong with Danalock which offers an
affordable smart home lock with the
most up to date technology. Another
misconception may be that’s it’s hard to
install and set-up, this is far from the truth
and with Danalock the installation and
setup could not be easier.
IF LOCKSMITHS ALREADY SELL
AND INSTALL SMART TECH
WHY IS SALTO BETTER?
Danalock prides itself in the ease of
installation and setup, because Danalock
works with a European cylinder this
makes it an easy upsell and install for
locksmiths. Retaining the euro cylinder
means no new fittings need to be drilled
in the door and the current mortise lock
will still work. The existing cylinder can
simply be swapped out for a Danalock
compatible cylinder, or if a double clutch
cylinder is installed the key turner can
be installed meaning you wouldn’t even
have to swop the cylinder. Because the
euro cylinder is retained this also allows
for recurring revenue for the locksmith,
who can service both the cylinder and
the Danalock. Unlike most smart locks
on the market the Danalock is housed
on the inside of the door, providing
protection against vandalism, adverse
weather etc. Multiple platforms allow
you to sell the Danalock to a customer’s
specific needs whether they want it
to work on their iPhone or they need
it to work on Alexa or already have
a smart home platform. Danalock is
highly flexible and can work across
multiple platforms including European,
Scandinavian and US style locks.
