Everyday objects are constantly evolving. Especially things that we need every day simply have to be practical. You only realize how tedious and annoying outdated technology can be with hindsight. Imagine you had to make do with a landline phone that you share with several people. Or you want to watch a movie from the beginning and have to rewind the VHS tape manually.

Bags are like a black hole - enough to keep looking for the keys?

And somehow this always happens at the worst possible moment: loaded with groceries, a sleeping child in your arms or when the food inside is already burning – that's exactly when the key is hidden in the bottom corner of the bag.
airEkey Smart Lock users have it much easier when they come home. With the Auto Unlock function, the front door is unlocked automatically as soon as an authorized smartphone is within range (you can find out how this works here).
Horror idea: being locked out
A door with a handle on the outside leads to a daily adrenaline rush: every time the door slams shut, you'll panic wondering if you're carrying the keys. After all, you can't get in without a key. Then all you have to do is wait patiently for someone who also has the keys.
Without a lock cylinder for emergency and danger functions, the door cannot be unlocked from the outside if the key is inserted inside. In this case, only a locksmith can help. Drilling out lock cylinders, replacing them, and duplicating keys is often expensive. (Discover the airEkey carefree package via Care & Protect)
