Smart Lock and Keypad Installation

Smart locks and keypads make everyday access easier without giving up security. We help you pick a model that fits your door and install it correctly.

Problems we solve

  • You want to stop hiding a key under the mat.
  • Kids or family members keep losing keys.
  • You want to give a code to a cleaner or contractor.
  • You'd like to check that the front door is locked from your phone.
  • You want to keep the existing key as a backup.

What this service covers

A smart lock replaces (or adds to) an existing deadbolt. Some use a keypad, some connect over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and most keep a physical key as a backup. We install the lock, help you set the first codes, and pair it with your phone if applicable.

Common situations

  • First smart lock on the front door
  • Replace an old deadbolt with a Wi-Fi lock
  • Add a keypad on a garage-entry door
  • Set up codes for family, cleaners, or contractors

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick the right lock

    We match it to your door, your phone, and how you actually want to use it.

  2. 2

    Install

    The new lock is fitted, aligned, and tested.

  3. 3

    Set up codes and app

    First codes are created, and the app is paired if applicable.

  4. 4

    Walk-through

    We show you how to add or revoke codes yourself later.

Why it matters

  • No more spare keys under rocks or mats
  • Give and revoke codes without changing hardware
  • Backup key stays available

Frequently Asked Questions

Do smart locks work if the internet goes out?
Yes, smart locks still work on their keypad and (usually) their backup key even without Wi-Fi. You just lose remote features while the internet is down.
Which brands do you install?
We work with the common consumer brands (Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, August, and similar). If you have a specific model, share it when you call.
Can a smart lock be added to an existing door?
Most modern doors can accept a standard deadbolt-sized smart lock. We'll confirm compatibility before installing.
Do I still get a physical key?
Most smart locks include a backup keyway. Some models are keypad-only, we'll flag that before purchase.
