Smart Lock Installation
Most smart lock complaints are not about the electronics. They are about the door. A motorised deadbolt has far less force than a hand turning a key, so a door that has settled even slightly will make the bolt drag on the strike plate. The lock stalls, drains its batteries and reports a jam. We check the alignment first and adjust the strike or door so the bolt slides freely.
We install keypad deadbolts, app-controlled smart locks and combination models, and we can match them to the rest of your hardware. For rentals and short-term rentals, a keypad lock means no more key handovers: you set a code for each guest and delete it when they leave.
Every smart lock we fit still has a mechanical backup, and we can rekey that backup cylinder to match your other locks so one key opens everything if the batteries ever die.
How It Works
Bring your own lock or let us recommend one.
Use a lock you already bought, or we recommend one that suits your door and phone.
We fit it and adjust the strike and door so the bolt throws smoothly — the #1 cause of smart lock failures.
Codes, app and auto-lock configured, and we show you how to use them.
