Smart locks are not plug-and-play. The door has to be properly aligned, the latch bolt has to throw cleanly into a reinforced strike plate, and the electronics have to be set up correctly before the lock will work reliably. A smart lock on a sagging door or a misaligned strike plate will fail -- usually at the worst time.

We assess door alignment before installing. If the door needs adjustment (hinge screws, strike plate shim, or threshold work) we handle that as part of the install. Then we install the lock, reinforce the strike plate with 3-inch screws into the framing, test throw clearance, and do the initial electronic setup -- Bluetooth pairing, code programming, app setup.

We work with every major brand: Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August, Level, and others. We bring the right tools for the door prep.

    FAQ

    Questions about smart locks

    Do you supply the lock?
    Bring your own or tell us what you want and we can pick it up. We can advise on brands if you are not sure.
    My door sticks. Will a smart lock fix that?
    A sticky door needs to be fixed before a smart lock is installed. We handle door alignment as part of the install if it is a hinge or strike issue.
    Can you install on multiple doors in one visit?
    Yes. Multi-door jobs are the most efficient use of time and we do not charge extra for the additional doors beyond the hourly rate.
