A smart lock offers countless extra possibilities and makes your home or office flexible. With the Klink Smart One you can unlock in different ways, such as with your fingerprint, codes, cards, smartwatch or phone. In addition, with the handy functions in the app you can open your door remotely. This gives you the freedom to decide for yourself when the door is opened or closed, which offers many advantages. But how does opening a door remotely work? And what do you need for it? We explain it to you here.

Benefits of opening your door remotely:

• Convenience for yourself: The biggest advantage of being able to open a door remotely is the convenience. You never have to search for keys again, and you can unlock the door in advance so you can walk in with your hands full.
• Pick up and drop off: Your friends, family or business partners can always come and pick up or drop off something, even when you are not there. There is no need to physically hand over keys.
• Office and Business: In business environments, it is useful to have multiple people access without everyone having a key. With remote control, you can unlock and later lock the door without being physically present.
• Family life: Have your children forgotten their keys, or are they too young to handle keys? With remote control, they can get in while you’re still on your way. This is also handy for the babysitter or pet keeper.
• Handymen: Professionals often work when you are not home. With the app, you can open the door for them so they can do their job without you having to be there.
• Vacation: When you are on vacation, your home is extra attractive to burglars. With the app, you can remotely check that everything is locked properly and even make adjustments, so you can have peace of mind.

How does opening your door remotely work with Klink?

The most common way to unlock a smart lock is via your smartphone or smartwatch. With the Klink app, which comes standard, you can easily use your phone as a remote control for your door. Just like a normal door opener works with the push of a button, the app gives an impulse to unlock the door. Unlike a standard door opener, it does not matter where you are.

In addition, Klink offers multiple forms of access, such as fingerprints, codes or passes. These can be managed in the app, allowing you to grant temporary access to others. This does not mean that the door opens automatically, but that a specific user can use their pass or fingerprint to enter. If this has not yet been set up, you can unlock the door remotely via the app.

What do you need to open your door remotely?

• A door (you probably already have one)
• A smart door lock, such as the Klink Smart One
• A phone with the Klink app
• The Klink Smart Hub
• Optional: Cards

The Klink Smart One can be easily mounted on any door with standard door fittings. The app can be quickly installed on your phone or smartwatch. To be able to operate the door remotely, you need the Klink Smart Hub. This smart gateway is linked to the Klink app and enables remote control. The cards are optional, depending on your preferences in the app. With just a few parts you can easily operate your door remotely!
