Smart Lock Installation FAQs
I get questions about compatibility, setup, and features regularly. Here are the answers.
How long does smart lock installation take?
Smart lock installation starts at $150, which includes installation, programming, and app configuration. Higher-end models requiring deadbolt reinforcement or door edge prep may run slightly higher.
Do I need to buy the lock first?
You can purchase your own lock, or I can help recommend the right model. Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, and August Smart Lock are all popular and reliable options in various finishes.
Will it work with my existing door?
Most standard smart locks are designed to fit a 2-1/8-inch bore hole with a standard 2-3/8 or 2-3/4-inch backset. I verify your door prep before installation and advise on compatibility.
Can you set up multiple user codes?
Yes, I program user codes for household members and temporary codes for guests or contractors, and walk you through managing them in the associated app. Most systems support 10-100 user codes.
What if my WiFi goes down?
Most smart locks retain keypad access even without WiFi. Many models like Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo also include a physical key cylinder as a mechanical backup for power outages.
