What does a smart lock install include?
Fitting the lock, adjusting the strike so the bolt throws freely, pairing it with your phone, and matching the backup key to your other doors where the brands allow.
- Removing the old deadbolt and fitting the new one.
- Adjusting the strike so the bolt throws fully without pushing on the door. Motorized bolts jam on doors that rub.
- Pairing it with your phone app and adding your first codes.
- Rekeying the backup key cylinder to your other doors, if the brands allow it.
How do I choose a smart lock?
Decide whether you need remote access, a key backup and timed codes for others, and check it works with your phone or home system.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Do I need to open it from away from home? | Remote access needs Wi-Fi in the lock or a hub. Bluetooth-only locks work when your phone is near. |
| Do I want a key backup? | A key cylinder lets you in when batteries die. Some keyless models use a 9-volt jump on the outside instead. |
| Who else needs in? | Codes for a dog walker or cleaner can be limited to set hours on many models. |
| Which phone and home system? | Check it works with what you use: Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or the brand's own app. |
Does Memphis heat drain smart lock batteries?
It can. Most smart locks run on AA batteries, and direct afternoon sun on a dark door makes the lock hot, which shortens battery life.
The app warns you when they get low. If your front door faces west, mention it; some models handle heat better than others.
Already have a smart lock that stopped working?
Try fresh batteries first. If it still won't respond and you're locked out, we open it without damage and reset it with you.
That is a lockout: we open it through the key cylinder or by other non-destructive means, then reset it with you.
Questions people ask
How much does smart lock installation cost?
Mostly it depends on the door. Fitting a lock you bought into a standard deadbolt hole, with app setup, is the usual job. Doors that need drilling, extra parts or strike work take longer, and we text the total before we come.
Can you install one I bought online?
Yes, that is the usual job.
Will a smart lock fit my door?
Most fit a standard deadbolt hole. Thick, thin or metal doors and odd backsets can need extra parts. Send a photo of the door edge and the box, and we check before you buy or before we drive.
What happens if the batteries die?
Most locks warn you for weeks before that. If they die anyway, use the backup key, or the 9-volt contacts on keyless models.
