Begin with compatibility
A smart lock is still part of a mechanical door. The deadbolt preparation, door thickness, alignment and available clearance must suit the product. A door that needs force to close should be assessed before adding a motorized lock. An app cannot correct a poorly aligned bolt.
Keypad and connected features
A keypad lock may work without a connected app, while other products add remote features through additional equipment. Read the manufacturer’s actual requirements and privacy information. Product support, account setup and compatibility with other systems must be confirmed for the chosen model.
Protect access information
Create and manage credentials through the product’s secure setup process. Keep master codes, passwords, account recovery information and network credentials private. If you need help describing a setup problem, use the model number and the symptom rather than the code itself.
What to discuss with the locksmith
Provide the lock model, door type, existing hardware and whether parts have already been purchased. Tell us whether you want keypad entry, a physical-key backup or a connected feature. Supported products and the scope of setup work are confirmed individually.
