Types of smart locks we install

  • Keypad locks — code entry, no phone required. Simple, reliable, no batteries-only-yearly setup.
  • Bluetooth smart locks — unlock from your phone when you're nearby. Great for backup, less great as a sole solution.
  • Wi-Fi smart locks — remote unlock and notifications via an app. Worth it if you're frequently away or manage rentals.
  • Brivo access control — commercial-grade keypad and credential systems for small businesses and multi-tenant residential
  • Hybrid mechanical + electronic — locks that work with a code, a key, or both, for redundancy

When smart locks make sense

  • You manage a short-term rental and want to issue temporary codes
  • You have housekeepers, contractors, or family members who need access on a schedule
  • You're tired of carrying keys
  • You want to give kids access without giving them a key they'll lose
  • You want notifications when the door is unlocked
  • You're rekeying anyway and want to upgrade while we're there

What we don't recommend

Some smart locks on the market are gimmicky, fragile, or sold on features that don't actually work in real life. We'll be honest about which ones we trust and which we won't install. If you've already bought a smart lock, bring it in — we'll install it correctly, but we'll also tell you if it's likely to give you trouble.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Almost certainly. Smart locks use the same hole pattern as standard deadbolts, so they install on most existing doors without modification. We'll confirm during the visit.

Not for all of them. Keypad-only locks need no internet — they just need batteries. Bluetooth locks need your phone nearby. Wi-Fi locks need home internet. We'll match the lock to your situation.

Yes. Bring it in or schedule a visit. We'll install it correctly and tell you honestly whether it's a model that'll hold up.

Most smart locks still take a physical key as backup. Some have an external terminal where you can briefly apply a 9V battery to power the keypad. We'll cover this in the walkthrough during install.
