Keyless Living: Digital and Smart Locks Fitted Right
Keypads, fingerprint readers and app-controlled locks, installed so they actually work on your door.
Digital locks are popular with families, Airbnb hosts and anyone who is tired of losing keys. A smart lock lets you give a code to a cleaner, see when the kids get home, or lock the door from the train.
The catch is installation. A smart lock that is badly fitted drains batteries, jams, or leaves a gap in security. Our locksmiths measure the door, check the frame and fit the lock so the bolt throws cleanly every time.
We set up the lock with you before we leave: codes, fingerprints, app pairing and the backup entry method. We also explain what to do when the batteries run low, so you are never locked out by a flat cell.

Letters on Digital & Smart Locks
What happens if the battery dies?
Most models warn you weeks ahead and have a backup method such as an external power contact or a mechanical override.
Will a smart lock fit my old door?
Many will. We check the door thickness and condition before recommending a model.
Are smart locks secure?
Quality models are. We recommend brands with good encryption and solid mechanical hardware.
