Top 5 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Home

Halloween is that one night when the whole neighborhood truly comes alive — kids racing around in costumes, pumpkins glowing on porches, and that mix of excitement and playful chaos in the air. But between the nonstop doorbell rings, sugar-fueled kids, and all those people coming and going, it’s also a night when a little extra home security can go a long way.

If you want to soak in the fun without worrying about your home’s safety, here are five simple ways to make your space smarter, safer, and ready for all the Halloween madness.

1. Lock Up Smart — No Keys, No Tricks

Let’s be honest — Halloween means your front door is getting a serious workout. You’re opening it again and again for trick-or-treaters, friends, or delivery drivers. That’s when having a smart lock like the WELOCK U81 or Touch41 becomes a total game-changer.

Instead of juggling keys with one hand and a candy bowl in the other, you can unlock your door instantly with your fingerprint, PIN code, RFID card, or App. Going out for a party? Just check your phone to make sure the door’s locked — or tell Alexa or Home Assistant to do it for you.

And here’s the best part: even if your batteries die mid-celebration, WELOCK smart locks include both a USB backup port and a mechanical key option, so you’ll never get locked out.

2. Light Up Your Entryway

Sure, dim lighting looks spooky, but it’s not exactly safe. A well-lit front porch helps trick-or-treaters see where they’re going and keeps everyone from tripping over costumes or decorations. Add a few motion-sensor lights, or better yet, connect your smart lighting to your WELOCK Smart Lock so the lights turn on automatically when the door unlocks.

It’s a small touch that makes your home look welcoming — and keeps things safer for everyone stopping by.

3. Keep Track of Who’s Coming and Going

Halloween can feel like a revolving door — family, neighbors, and little monsters in costumes showing up nonstop. The WELOCK App  makes it easy to keep track of all that activity. You can see who unlocked your door, when it happened, and even grant temporary access codes to guests or babysitters.

If you manage an Airbnb or rental, this feature is a total lifesaver. No more worrying about spare keys — just send a digital key and revoke it after checkout. Simple, secure, and stress-free.

4. Protect Your Porch (and Your Candy Stash!)

It’s not just kids who love Halloween — sometimes the “trick” part can get a little too real. Avoid leaving valuable decorations, packages, or candy unattended on your porch.

If you’re expecting a late delivery, you can remotely unlock your door through the WELOCK App, let a trusted neighbor or courier drop off the package inside, and lock it again right after. It’s convenience and peace of mind in one tap — the smart way to celebrate.

5. Be Ready for the Unexpected

Even the best plans can go sideways — maybe your phone dies, the WiFi drops, or someone forgets the PIN. That’s when having multiple ways to unlock your door really matters.

The WELOCK Touch41 comes with a USB backup unlock option, so even if the batteries run out, you can power it up with a portable charger and get in within seconds. No stress, no waiting.

And if you’re using the WELOCK U81, you’ve got an extra layer of peace of mind — a built-in mechanical key that lets you unlock the door the old-fashioned way when technology takes a night off.

You can also turn on real-time notifications in the WELOCK App when your battery starts running low. It’s that kind of thoughtful smart safety that keeps your home protected, even when the unexpected happens.

Halloween should be about fun costumes, spooky vibes, and sweet treats — not worrying about your front door. With WELOCK Smart Locks, you can relax knowing your home is safe, whether you’re handing out candy or heading out for the night.
