The thought of losing a key strikes worry into many tenants and homeowners everywhere. Your first thought might be to change the locks on your door in fear of an unwanted entrant gaining access.

At Intratone, we provide key fobs that make the older form of key redundant in the modern age.

This article will look at why a key fob can be beneficial to you and how it works.

What is a key fob?

A key fob is an electronic way of accessing a building by connecting it to a receiver pad through synchronisation.

As the world has become more digital, we look to ever-advancing technology to provide us with more safety and convenience; one such way is electronic access.

A key fob works by sending radio signals through the airwaves between the key fob and the reader. Other fobs might work slightly differently but in a similar fashion.

You will need to have the proximity reader, sometimes called a receiver pad, installed on the wall near the door, so the receiver can send signals from the receiver pad to the door so that it opens.

What are the benefits of a key fob?

One of the advantages of having a door fob entrance to your residence is that should you lose your key fob, you can disarm the fob remotely so that unwanted people will not gain access to your home.

As a property manager, activating and deactivating key fobs puts you in control of who can and can’t access the building. There is no need to take elaborate emergency measures that are an expensive hassle when you can manage and alter the key fobs remotely.

This can offer great peace of mind and means you won’t need to get any locks changed should a key be lost. Because keyholes can be picked, possessing key fob entry reduces the likelihood that somebody will break into a building.

Some of the more traditional keys are either stiff or difficult, to begin with, when trying to unlock a door, and some lose the shape they are cut in as they are used frequently, or worse – they snap in the keyhole! This will never be an issue with the key fob because of its electronic functionality.

Intratone offers key fobs and receiver pads for an affordable price that will protect your property and those inside it. Search the range today.

As long as you’re within proximity of the reader or receiver, you can access your building quickly and efficiently. If you need to make copies of your key fob for another resident, you have control of this as a property manager; Intratone’s key fobs are manageable remotely and can be done in an instant, saving you a lot of trouble.
