Good to know
A smart lock is a good upgrade, but the door has to be ready for it. We test alignment, check the deadbolt’s backset and make sure the latch and strike are square before fitting anything electronic. We also show you what to do if the battery dies.
When this is not the right fix
In a condo, the corporation may regulate lock types. Check first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a smart lock work on my door?
Usually, if the door is the right thickness and closes squarely. We check before installing.
What if the battery dies?
Most models warn you and have a backup: a key, an external power contact, or both. We show you what yours does.
