Replacing the key under the flowerpot
Everyone in the house knows where the hidden key is. A smart lock gives each person their own way in instead.

Smart lock jobs we handle
Most smart lock calls start with a list of people, not a lock model. Tell us who needs in, and we match the lock to your household and your door.
Weekday visitors
A dog walker or sitter who only comes on certain days. Many app models let you set a code that works only during set hours.
App-based locksA household with mixed needs
Some people want a code, some want their phone. A hybrid lock with separate user access codes covers both.
Hybrid smart locksA smart home that's missing a lock
Already running a video doorbell or smart speaker? A smart lock can join that setup.
Keyless entryKeypad, app or hybrid
We install all three styles of smart lock and fit each one to your existing door prep. Not sure which suits you? Tell us who uses the door and we'll help you choose.
- Keypad locks
- App-based locks
- Hybrid smart locks
How your smart lock goes from box to working codes
Check the door and the bolt
We confirm the lock matches your bore hole, backset and door thickness, then test how the bolt slides with the door closed. If it rubs the strike plate, we sort that out first.
Mount, pair and add codes
We mount the lock, pair app-based and hybrid models with your phone, place a Wi-Fi bridge if your model uses one, and set up a code for each person on your list.
Test everything with the door closed
We run each code, the app's lock and unlock commands, auto-lock if your model has it, and the physical key override if it has one.

Quick answers on smart locks, codes and backups
Will a smart lock fit my door or do you have to drill new holes?
Most smart deadbolts fit the holes already cut in your door. Those holes are called door prep: the bore hole and the backset. The bore hole is the big round hole for the lock body. The backset is the distance from the door edge to that hole's center. Most homes use a standard 2-1/8 inch bore. Georgia humidity can swell wood doors, so we also check that the bolt slides cleanly.
What will I pay to get a smart lock put in if I already bought one?
We price each install after we hear your lock model and door type. Bringing your own lock is fine, and we can also help you pick one. A sticking bolt can add work to the job. Some models also need a Wi-Fi bridge, a small plug-in that links the lock to the internet. Call 678-338-8566 with your model for a quote from our Dunwoody team. what happens when you come out to install a smart lock Every install follows three steps: check the door, mount the lock, then test it. First, we confirm the lock fits and the bolt slides freely. Next, we pair it with your phone and add user access codes. Those are separate codes for each person in your home. Last, we test every code, the app and any backup key with the door closed. Our 10-person team offers same-day response across Greater Atlanta.
Can I give the dog walker a code and delete it later without changing everyone else's?
Yes, each person can get their own code. Deleting one code leaves everyone else's code working. Many app-based locks also let a code work only during set hours. That suits a weekday dog walker or house cleaner. A call we often get from Alpharetta families sounds just like this. We load each person's code during setup, so it works when we leave.
What if my smart lock battery dies and I'm stuck outside?
You can use the backup key if your model has a key slot. That slot is called a physical key override, a regular key cylinder built into the lock. We test that key before we leave so it fully throws the bolt. Some models skip the key slot. For those, we show you the backup options your model offers. If you're ever stuck outside, our emergency lockout service runs 24/7.
Do I need Wi-Fi for a smart lock to work?
No, keypad locks work without Wi-Fi or a phone. You just punch in a number code. App-based locks often connect by Bluetooth, which only works near the door. Some need a Wi-Fi bridge before you can control them remotely. That's a small plug-in device that links the lock to the internet. In larger
