Ditch the keys, keep the security
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You Keep Losing or Forgetting Keys
Keys get lost, left at work, or locked inside. With a smart lock, your phone or a code is your key. You literally cannot be locked out as long as you remember your code or have your phone.
You Need to Let People In When You're Not Home
Dog walker, house cleaner, contractor, visiting family - they all need access at different times. Smart locks let you create unique codes for each person that you can delete anytime.
You Manage a Rental or Airbnb
Exchanging physical keys with every guest is a nightmare. Smart locks let you send a code that only works during their stay, then expires automatically. No key handoffs, no lost key fees.
You Want to Know Who Comes and Goes
Kids got home from school? Did the cleaner actually come? Smart locks keep a log of every entry - who used which code and when. You can check from your phone anywhere.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

(302) 551-2550How we install and set up your smart lock
- 1
Tell Us Your Lock and Your Setup
What brand did you buy (or do you need a recommendation)? What smart home system do you use - Apple, Google, Amazon, or none? What kind of door is it?
- 2
We Check Your Door Fit
On site, we make sure your door thickness, backset, and alignment work with the smart lock. If the door needs adjustment so the motor doesn't strain, we handle that too.
- 3
We Mount the Lock and Align It
The lock gets physically installed with proper alignment so the bolt slides freely. This is the step most DIY installs get wrong - if the bolt fights the frame, batteries die fast.
- 4
Full Digital Setup
We pair it with your phone, connect it to your Wi-Fi and smart home system, set up your master code, and program any guest codes you need right away.
Tested before handoff What you get with keyless entry
No More Lost Keys, Ever
Your phone is your key. Your fingerprint is your key. A 4-digit code is your key. You can't lose access unless you forget your own code AND lose your phone AND the battery dies - and even then there's a backup.
Give and Revoke Access Instantly
Need to let someone in? Send them a code from your phone. Done with them? Delete it. No copying keys, no getting them back, no wondering who still has one.
Batteries Last Longer With Proper Install
When the door is aligned right, the motor barely works to throw the bolt. DIY installs where the bolt fights the frame drain batteries in weeks. Ours last months.
See Everything From Your Phone
Lock status, entry history, low battery alerts - all on your phone. You always know if your door is locked and who came in last. Full visibility from anywhere.

Smart Lock Installation FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
What happens if the battery dies while I'm outside?
Most smart locks have a backup option - either a physical key slot, a 9V battery terminal on the outside you can touch to power it temporarily, or early low-battery warnings weeks in advance.
Can you install a smart lock I already bought?
Yes. We install all major brands. We'll verify it's compatible with your door and handle the full physical and digital setup. If it won't fit your door, we'll tell you before we start.
Do I need a Wi-Fi bridge or hub?
Some locks have Wi-Fi built in, others need a small plug-in bridge to connect to your network. We'll tell you what your specific model needs and can set up the bridge if required.
Are smart locks actually secure?
Yes. The physical deadbolt is the same strength as a traditional one. The digital side uses bank-level encryption. The main risk is a weak code like 1234 - we'll help you set up something secure.
Can I still use a regular key as backup?
Most smart locks include a physical key slot for emergencies. We test the backup key during installation and make sure you know where it is and how to use it if needed.
