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.
