How to Prevent Package Theft During the Holidays with TTLOCK

Updated: Jan 5

The Quiet Power of Smart Locks


These days, parcels seem to arrive non-stop—especially in the lead-up to Christmas.



And yet, there’s always that worry: you’re not home when they do, or the courier leaves them at the door and walks away.


During this time of year, streets feel busier and more festive.But something else quietly increases too—packages disappearing from doorsteps.


You check the tracking.“Delivered.”


You get home.

Nothing’s there.

It’s not a mistake. It’s simply that the gap between delivery and your returnis far more vulnerable than we like to admit.


This isn’t really about careless couriers or bad luck.

It’s about what happens to your front door when no one is home.


Package theft is rarely about dishonest people.

It’s about unmanaged access.


A traditional door lock does one job: it lets you in.


But during busy delivery periods—especially around the holidays—what you actually need is control,even when you’re not home.



Why does this happen more during the holidays?

Because three things collide at once:

  • Online shopping spikes

  • Deliveries become frequent and unpredictable

  • People are away more often—work, travel, gatherings


Your front door becomes a high-value, low-visibility zone.

That’s not fear-mongering.

It’s just reality.



The real strength of smart locks is surprisingly quiet

Most people think smart locks are about fingerprints, apps, and fancy features.


But during the holidays, their real advantage is much simpler—and far more practical.


1️⃣ You can open the door only when it’s needed

Let’s say a delivery is expected between 2–4 PM.

You can set time-limited access so the door only unlocks during that window. Once time’s up, access automatically expires.


No keys changing hands.

No permissions forgotten.


You can also generate a one-time passcode for a courier or delivery driver—usable once, then gone.


And if someone is already standing at your door,you can simply unlock it remotely through the app,let them complete the delivery, and lock it again immediately.


Everything happens on your terms.




2️⃣ You don’t have to constantly watch the door

Not everyone can wait by the window all day.

A stable smart lock system lets you know:

  • When the door is accessed

  • Whether anything unusual happens

Not to make you anxious—but so you don’t have to think about it at all.



3️⃣ Package safety is really an access problem

Most packages aren’t stolen because doors are unlocked.

They’re stolen because access isn’t precise enough.


Who can open the door?

When?

For how long?


Traditional locks simply weren’t built for these questions.



That’s it.

Three simple ways to solve a very real problem.


No complicated setup.

No ongoing stress.

Just practical control when you need it most.


If it really is this easy, why keep doing it the hard way?
