Secure with smart security Smart door security can provide homeowners with many additional benefits; smart locks like the Conexis ® L1 Smart Lock, designed for most multi-point locks, allow users to configure, control, and unlock their door all through their smartphone.

Providing multiple benefits for installers and homeowners alike, the lock has been designed to provide a high level of security, including a tamper alarm and secure internal thumbturn to protect against letterplate fishing. This gives trade professionals an easy entry point into the smart home market, enabling them to capitalise on a different revenue stream.
