If you have the habit of constantly wondering whether you locked the door or not, you might be interested in getting a smart lock that provides a geo fencing feature. This way, you can create a setting that enforces doors locking when you get away from your house. A similar setting can ensure automatic door locking when inactive for a specific period of time. Some smart lock products are Bluetooth enabled. What you have to know before purchasing such a product is that you will have to be within a certain range in order to be able to communicate with your lock.
