We support commonly used residential and light-commercial brands, including Schlage, Baldwin, Kwikset, Adams Rite, and similar systems that meet typical building requirements.
What to Expect During a Smart Lock Installation
Every visit begins with an assessment of your door, frame, and the lock you’re replacing. We check for alignment and proper fit before installing the new lock and mounting hardware. Whether it’s a standalone keypad or a connected smart system, we complete the install with attention to usability and long-term performance.
Lock Setup and Installation: We install the lock and secure the mounting plate, verify that the deadbolt extends fully, and make any adjustments needed to the door or strike plate.
App Pairing and Function Testing: We connect the lock to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, set up the mobile app, and program your preferred codes or users. If the model includes a keyway or fingerprint sensor, we test those features before finishing.
You’ll also receive a short walkthrough on using the app, managing users, and performing routine tasks like changing batteries or updating settings. We also test mechanical operation for models with backup keys.
Connectivity and Remote Access
We install smart locks that work with common smartphone apps and smart home devices like Google Assistant or Alexa. Depending on the model, we configure remote access, scheduled lock/unlock features, and guest code management. Our team ensures the Wi-Fi signal at your door is strong enough to support reliable connectivity and will suggest network adjustments if needed.
All models we install run on batteries and continue working during power outages. We recommend models with extended battery life and physical key overrides for homes or businesses where power or internet disruptions are common. These features provide backup access when remote controls are unavailable.
Smart Lock Options for Rentals and Shared Spaces
KS Locksmith frequently installs smart locks for vacation rentals, short-term leases, and shared-use properties. We guide hosts on creating and deleting temporary codes, tracking usage logs, and avoiding user overlap. We also recommend settings that help prevent doors from being left unlocked between guest stays.
For businesses, we install smart locks on internal doors like server rooms, storage areas, or shared offices. These locks help reduce the need for physical keys and make it easier to manage employee access during team changes or expansion.

FAQs About Getting a Smart Lock Installed
Can you install a smart lock on any type of door?
We install most smart door locks on standard residential and commercial doors, including wood, metal, and composite frames. We inspect the door frame, existing hardware, and strike plate during the professional installation process to confirm proper alignment and a secure fit.
Is Wi-Fi required for smart lock features to work?
Wi-Fi is needed for remote access, mobile app control, and real-time alerts. Some smart locks use Bluetooth or Z-Wave instead, allowing the lock to function without a full Wi-Fi network. We help you choose the right smart lock based on your setup and connectivity needs so that you can control your door remotely.
Will you remove my existing deadbolt or handle?
Yes. As part of the smart lock installation, we remove your current lock or doorknob, install the new smart lock, and adjust the strike plate and latch for secure operation. This ensures the smart lock operates smoothly on your door.
Can I still use a key with a smart lock?
Many smart locks include a backup keyway. After installation, we test the physical key to ensure it unlocks the door correctly. Some biometric locks and keypad models also support keyless entry without any physical keys.
What brands of smart locks do you install?
We install and configure smart door locks from Schlage, Kwikset, and other brands commonly used in homes and small businesses. These locks support keypads, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile device access.
Do you help set up smartphone apps and guest access?
Yes. We guide you through downloading the correct smartphone app, pairing it with your new lock, and creating secure access codes for family members, employees, or guests. We show you how to set up temporary access with scheduled timeframes for short-term rentals.
How long does it take to install a smart lock?
Most installations are completed in less than an hour. In a single visit, we remove old hardware, mount the new lock, test keypad or app access, and verify door function.
Do smart locks work during power outages?
Batteries power most smart locks and remain functional during power outages. For added protection, we recommend using models with low-battery alerts and optional physical keys or external battery connectors.
Can smart locks help prevent lock picking?
Yes. Many smart locks eliminate the traditional keyhole, which removes the risk of lock picking. Models with keypads, biometric sensors, or app-only access reduce vulnerabilities and support higher home security standards.
