Electronic & Smart Locks Installed
A smart lock is still a lock. The bolt, the strike and the door do the security work; the electronics decide who gets to throw the bolt. Plenty of installs get the second part right and the first part wrong.
We fit connected deadbolts and lever sets, pair them to the app or hub, set up users and schedules, and check the door itself will let the motor throw the bolt cleanly. A smart lock in a misaligned door burns through batteries and eventually jams.
We will also tell you when a smart lock is the wrong answer. On a door with a glass sidelight or a weak jamb, the money is better spent on reinforcement first.
What the job involves
-
Door prepared for the motor
Alignment sorted so the bolt throws without straining.
-
Paired, users configured, tested
Not just screwed to the door and handed over.
-
Told when it is the wrong buy
Reinforcement first if the door needs it more than the electronics.

Common questions
Are smart locks less secure than normal ones?
The bolt is the same. The risk profile shifts from picking towards accounts and software, which for most homes is a fair trade if the door is sound.
Which brands do you fit?
The mainstream connected deadbolts and lever sets. If you have already bought one, we will fit it labour-only.
Can you rekey the override cylinder?
Yes, so the mechanical key matches the rest of the house.

Locked myself out at eleven at night with a toddler asleep upstairs. Quoted me on the phone, arrived in half an hour, had the door open in under five minutes without a scratch on it. Charged exactly what was quoted.

We turn over about forty units a year and they handle every rekey. Invoiced to the office, keying schedule emailed the same day, never had to chase them.

Dealer wanted a tow plus two days for a lost Kia key. These guys did it in my driveway in about an hour for a lot less. Two keys, both tested before he left.

Panic bar failed on a Friday during service. They came out after close, fixed it properly and talked me through what the inspector would be looking for.
