What does Enso Connect recommend?

While Enso Connect supports all the door locks mentioned, but always recommend reaching out to our team to verify compatibility with your specific lock model. Our dedicated team will ensure a seamless integration with Enso for your peace of mind.

Let’s take a look at why, and what we recommend:

Look for a lock with a long battery life

When considering smart locks, it is highly recommended to select a lock with an extended battery life. Choosing a lock that offers prolonged battery longevity ensures uninterrupted operation and minimizes the need for frequent battery replacements. By prioritizing locks with extended battery life, you can enjoy the convenience and security of keyless entry without the hassle of constantly monitoring and changing batteries.

Push button vs touchscreen

Enso Connect typically recommends the use of push button devices for their intuitive and user-friendly design. With push buttons, guests can easily enter the access code without any extra steps, providing a seamless and hassle-free experience. However, it’s worth noting that Igloohome locks often utilize digital touchscreens, which have proven to be highly reliable.

Key overrides are a good idea

When it comes to choosing a smart lock, having a key override as a backup feature is generally considered a good idea to address potential Wi-Fi outages or battery problems. However, in the case of Igloohome products, the need for a key override is virtually eliminated. Igloohome locks can be accessed without relying on Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring that guests can check in and access the property seamlessly, even in the absence of an internet connection. This exceptional feature minimizes the likelihood of guests encountering any check-in issues, providing a reliable and hassle-free experience.

How to install?

Installing Igloohome locks is a straightforward process that typically requires only a screwdriver to fit most hardware. If you’re replacing an existing lock, the installation becomes even easier as it can be done over the existing holes in the door frame.
