Frequently Asked Questions

Most smart lock installations are straightforward. It depends on whether door prep work is needed. Many Germantown homes were built in the late 80s and 90s. Our team knows what to expect in homes of that age and construction style. Our team gives you a clear quote.

Yes. If you have already purchased the lock, our team will install it. we can also advise on compatible models before you buy if you ask.

Most do. Our team checks the door prep before starting and lets you know if any modification is needed.

Most installations take one to two hours including door prep check, installation, and testing.

Most smart locks maintain their keypad and physical key function regardless of WiFi status. The app-based features may be unavailable without a connection, but the lock itself continues to operate. Our team walks you through your specific model's behavior during installation.

Check your door's backset measurement first: the distance from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. Standard is 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Most smart deadbolts include adjusters for both. Also check the door thickness, which should be between 1-3/8 and 2 inches for most standard locks. If your door has non-standard measurements, call us before purchasing and we will confirm what will fit.

Our team checks the fit before starting installation. If the bore hole is the wrong size, we have the tools to modify it for a clean, tight fit. Our team tells you about any additional work before touching anything.

Yes. A quality lock on a weak strike plate and shallow screws does not provide real security. Our team installs a reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws into the stud behind the door jamb when we install any exterior lock. It is part of doing the job right.

Download the app and create your account before our team arrives if possible. The initial pairing is easier when the app is already set up. Our team walks through the first pairing and tests the connection before we leave. If there are connectivity issues, we troubleshoot them on site.
