As parents, we never stop worrying. Are the kids home from school? Did your teenager lock up when they left? Is the house secure while everyone's asleep?

The Family Security Challenge
Modern families are busy. Parents work. Kids have activities. Everyone comes and goes at different times. Common concerns include:
- Latchkey kids: Are they home from school? Did they lock the door behind them?
- Teenagers: What time did they actually get in last night?
- Elderly parents: Are they remembering to lock up at night?
- Night-time: Is the front door definitely locked before bed?
The Balance: Awareness vs Surveillance
There's a fine line between keeping your family safe and making them feel watched. The best family security tools provide awareness without intrusion.
The difference matters: "I can see the front door was locked at 4pm" is reassurance. "I tracked exactly when you came in and how long you were in each room" is surveillance.
Real Family Scenarios
🎒 After-School Arrivals
Kids get home at 3:30pm. A quick glance shows the door was locked at 3:33pm. They're home safe. Back to your meeting.
🌙 Bedtime Peace of Mind
Wondering if the front door is locked? Check your phone. Locked. Sleep easy.
👴 Checking on Parents
Your mum lives alone. See she's locked up for the night—without calling to ask.
🚗 Already Driving Away
"Did I lock the door?" Check the app. Locked. No need to turn around.
What to Look for in Family Security
Shared Access
Good solutions let multiple family members see door status. Everyone gets the reassurance.
Activity History
Seeing when the door was locked/unlocked is useful. But you don't need surveillance-level detail.

If it's complicated, teenagers won't use it and grandparents will struggle.
Peace of Mind for the Whole Family
Locksure shows your door's lock status on everyone's phone. Know the house is secure. Know the kids got home.
