Smart Locks That Actually Fit the Door
Upgrading to a smart lock provides incredible convenience: no more hiding keys under mats, easy access for dog walkers, and the ability to lock your door remotely from your phone. However, smart locks are notoriously difficult to install correctly.
A motorized smart lock works best when the door closes cleanly and the deadbolt moves without binding. If the door currently requires a push or pull to lock, alignment should be assessed before installation because resistance can make electronic operation unreliable.

Practical Setup
We focus on the critical physical basics: proper fit, reliable locking, and kick-in resistance. We will ensure the hardware is installed square, the backup mechanical key works perfectly, and explain what to watch for regarding battery life and door shifting throughout the seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my smart lock keep saying 'Jam' and draining batteries?
A motorized smart lock must be perfectly aligned. If the door sags even slightly, the motor struggles to push the bolt into the frame, causing the 'jam' error and draining the batteries in weeks instead of months. We fix the door alignment so the lock operates smoothly.
Can you install a smart lock I bought from the hardware store?
Yes, we frequently install customer-supplied smart locks from brands like Schlage, Yale, August, and Wyze. We ensure the physical installation is robust and the door is aligned, leaving the Wi-Fi setup to you.
What happens if the Wi-Fi goes down?
Many smart locks retain local keypad or mechanical-key operation during an internet outage, but behaviour varies by model, power state, and installation. Review the manufacturer's offline and backup-entry instructions for the selected lock.
