The modern-day security system is incredibly technologically advanced, and something as simple as the front door and front door lock can be wired into your security system with the help of a locksmith or a home security professional. As convenient as this is because the system can sense when someone is doing something wrong, it can also lead to a few false alarms. Here is a look at a few ways many people trigger false alarms when opening their front door. 

You try to unlock the door with the wrong key. 

If your locks are modern and you are using smart keys to unlock your house doors, simply trying to open the door lock with the wrong key can cause your house alarm to go off. Even though this is an annoying thing when it occurs, it is meant to do this for good reason. One way thieves try to break into a home is by using tools to try to open a lock without using a key. When you insert something into the keyhole that is not the matching key, the sensors inside the lock send a signal to the alarm system. 

You are taking too long to open the door. 

Some alarm systems have a sensor that watches the front porch or main access points in the house. These alarms are designed to trigger an alarm if there is suspicious or prolonged activity around the access points when you are not home. If you do not set the alarm to allow more than a minute or two, and it takes you longer than that to get the door open, it can lead to the alarm going off repeatedly. In the event you have locked yourself out of the house, step away from the door and call a locksmith for help so you do not trigger a false alarm.

You break the key off in the door. 

If you get a little hurried when trying to open the door and the key breaks off inside of the lock, it can also cause an alarm to trigger on some modern systems. In these cases, it is best to get in touch with an emergency locksmith to help retrieve the broken key tip or install a new lock. If you leave the key inside, you can have repeated alarm problems because the system connected to the smart lock knows something is wrong.
