The DIY Smart Lock That's Still in the Box
You bought it six months ago.. The instructions looked complicated.. You're not sure if it fits your door.. We get it—let us handle it.. Installation, app setup, everything.
You're Still Hiding a Spare Key Under a Rock
Burglars check there first.. Seriously.. Smart locks let you give trusted people a code instead—and you can delete it when you want.
Dog Walker Needs Access But You're at Work
Racing home to let someone in is exhausting.. With a smart lock, you create a time-limited code or unlock remotely.. When they're done, access ends.
Airbnb/Rental Property Headaches
Keys get lost, duplicated, not returned.. Smart locks let you set a code for each guest, auto-expire it at checkout, and never think about it again.
'Did I Lock the Door?' Anxiety
That nagging feeling when you're already at work. Smart locks let you check your phone and lock remotely if you forgot. Auto-lock is even better. Our Arden team carries the tools to fix this on the spot.

Everything You Need to Know About Smart Lock Installation
Do you install smart locks?
Yes!. We install and program smart locks from leading brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more.. We can help you choose the right smart lock for your needs.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware.. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks?
These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street. Arden families choose us for dependable home security service.
What lock options are best for homes with small children?
We recommend locks with interior thumb-turns (no key needed to exit — critical for fire safety), child-proof deadbolt covers for curious toddlers, and smart locks with auto-lock features.. We can also install chain guards at adult height for additional interior security.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home?
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs. We bring professional-grade home security solutions to Arden residents.
Can you reinforce my door frame for better security?
Yes.. A quality deadbolt is only as strong as the frame holding it.. We install reinforcement kits with 3-inch screws that anchor into the wall stud, strike plate reinforcements, and door edge guards.. This dramatically increases kick-in resistance.
