Home is where the heart is
At Heartland Bank, we share Neighbourly’s commitment to Kiwi communities and we’re proud to offer seniors the opportunity to stay in the home they love.
A house is more than bricks and mortar and a community is more than a boundary on a map; both are full of memories and comfortable connectedness. If your parent is having a tough time making ends meet, but don’t want to sell their home to fund the things they need or want, consider talking to them about releasing some equity in their home with a Heartland Reverse Mortgage.

Why Two Entry Points Are Essential When Using Keyless Digital Locks
Why Two Entry Points Are Essential When Using Keyless Digital Locks
Installing a digital lock on your front door offers convenience, security, and modern appeal. However, when the digital lock lacks a key override, ensuring a second entry point to your home or apartment becomes critical.
Mitigating Risks of Lock Malfunctions
Digital locks rely on electronic components, batteries, or software, which can fail due to power outages, battery depletion, or technical glitches. Without a key override, a malfunctioning lock could leave you stranded outside your home. A second entry point, such as a back door, patio door, or garage entrance, provides an alternative way to access your home, preventing lockouts and ensuring you’re never completely barred from entry.
Supporting Maintenance and Repairs
Digital locks may require occasional maintenance, such as battery replacement or software updates. If the lock becomes inoperable during these processes, a second entry point ensures you can still enter your home. This is particularly important for apartment dwellers, where coordinating repairs with property management might take time, leaving the primary entrance unusable.
Conclusion
While keyless digital locks offer cutting-edge convenience, their lack of a key override introduces risks that can be mitigated by maintaining a second entry point. This precaution ensures safety, accessibility, and peace of mind, whether you’re dealing with technical failures, emergencies, or everyday practicalities. By planning for dual entry points, homeowners and apartment dwellers can enjoy the benefits of digital locks without compromising on security or convenience.
