How we work
We are a mobile locksmith. We come to you.
What this covers
A smart lock installation is the work of replacing an existing lock with a keypad or connected lock that lets you use a code, a phone app, or both, depending on the model. It is not just swapping a faceplate. We look at the door, the opening, and the lock body already there, then fit the new hardware so it matches what the door can take. In some cases that means a simple changeover. In others, the lock type, trim, or cylinder setup calls for a different approach.
How we approach it
We handle each job based on the lock in place and the hardware the door already uses. A bored cylindrical lock does not present the same setup as a mortise or rim lock, and a keypad lock on a front door is not the same as a connected lock on a side entrance. We come to you, remove the old lock, set the new one in place, and make the physical fit of the door and lock parts work together. The work is about the hardware, not the network.
Where it stops
This page does not cover whole-home automation, app setup, Wi-Fi pairing, or other system work beyond the lock itself. If a device needs to be added to a smart-home platform or tied into other electronics, that is outside this service. We focus on the lock on the door, the keyway or keypad at the edge of use, and the hardware that lets the lock be installed in place of the old one.
What smart lock installation covers
Fit a keypad or connected lock in place of an existing one.
Worth knowing
At a house, we replace a keypad or connected lock on a front, side, or back door where the lock body sits in a bored cylindrical hole or on a rim mount. We remove the trim, take out the inside and outside pieces, and fit the new lock to the existing bore, backset, and latch case. On a house door, the deadbolt, latch, and thumbpiece need to match the door thickness and the existing cutouts so the new hardware sits flat and the bolt lines up with the strike.
At a business, the same job often starts with a mortise lock case in the door edge or a cylindrical lock on a metal or wood door, and the parts around it may be heavier than what is used at home. We remove the keypad or connected lock, check the latch, trim, and spindle or tailpiece layout, and install the new unit against the same openings. We also pay close attention to the inside lever, exit trim, and the cylinder location so the door hardware works with the door’s regular use.
The difference is also in how the door gets used after the new lock is set in place. A house door usually has one user set or a small family key set, so we match the keypad entry and the inside turnpiece to that door alone. A business door may need the outside keypad, the inside lever, and the lock case to fit around more traffic and a different latch position. We open the lock, remove the old hardware, and set the new keypad or connected lock into the door opening and trim.
