Smart locks offer safer, more flexible access for carers and support workers. Discover how they improve home care delivery and protect vulnerable individuals.
Health and social care providers face unique challenges when delivering support in private homes: coordinating visits, safeguarding clients, and managing keys. Smart locks offer a safer, smarter solution for both care staff and vulnerable residents.
1. Keyless Entry for Support Workers
Using smart locks like the SL14, carers can access homes using PINs or RFID tags—no need to manage physical keys that can get lost or copied.
2. Scheduled Access for Shift-Based Teams
Locks such as the SL6 allow access during specific hours, so only on-duty staff can enter. This helps reduce unauthorised access and supports accountability.
3. Real-Time Monitoring & Logs
With audit trails from smart models like the SL32, care providers can see who entered the property and when. Useful for compliance and safeguarding.
4. Emergency Access for Family or Medics
Family members or emergency responders can be granted temporary remote access when needed. This is a critical feature for clients living alone.
5. No Lockouts, Less Stress
If a vulnerable resident misplaces a key or can’t reach the door, carers can still gain access without forcing entry.
Real Example:
A community nursing team in Fulham replaced traditional keys with the SL14, reducing missed visits due to lockouts and improving staff response times.
