Smart Lock Installation
Installed, Aligned & Set Up for You
Bought a smart lock already, or want us to bring a Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo or Yale Assure? We fit it to your door, adjust the strike so the bolt throws freely, set up the app and codes with you, and test it before we leave. Labor from $189, or supplied and installed from $339 โ quoted on the call before we dispatch.

Installed Like a Lock, Because It Is One
Most smart locks are motorized deadbolts. So the install starts with the door, not the app, and it ends with you knowing how to use the lock.
Old Deadbolt Out
We remove the existing deadbolt and look at the bore, the edge hole and the strike before anything new goes in.
Fitted to Your Door
Door thickness and backset get checked against the lock, and the new deadbolt goes in square to the door.
Strike Adjusted
A smart lock's motor needs a bolt that throws freely, so we adjust the strike until it does.
App & Codes, With You
We set up the app and your codes on your phone, with you, so the account stays yours.
A Walk-Through
How to add and delete codes, change the batteries, and get in with your mechanical backup if you ever need to.
Tested Before We Leave
Keypad, app, thumbturn and key (if your model has one), with the door open and closed.
Your Lock, Our Install: From $189
Labor-only covers everything above except the lock itself. Tell us the brand and model when you call or text (a photo of the box and of your door's edge helps), and we'll tell you on the phone if it looks like a fit for your door.
Door thickness and backset get confirmed on site before any work starts. If something about your door doesn't match the lock, the tech tells you before anything comes off the door.
Our 30-day warranty covers our workmanship on the install. The lock you bought is covered by its manufacturer's warranty, not by ours.
- 1Door thickness โ checked on site. The lock has to be made for your door's thickness.
- 2Backset โ from the door edge to the center of the bore. The bolt has to match it.
- 3Bore hole โ most smart deadbolts fit a standard 2-1/8-inch bore. Older or odd doors sometimes need adjustment, and you hear about it before any work starts.
- 4Bolt and strike โ a smart lock's motor needs a bolt that throws freely into the strike on the door frame, so we adjust the strike until it does.
Honest Notes on Smart Locks in Arizona
What we'd tell a friend before they pick one out.
It's Still a Deadbolt
Most smart locks are motorized deadbolts. What holds a door against force is the bolt, the strike plate and the screws into the frame, not the electronics. The smart part changes how you get in; it doesn't make the door stronger.
Arizona Heat & Batteries
Heat drains batteries faster, and afternoon sun on a west- or south-facing door is hard on keypads and screens over the years. Pick a lock rated for outdoor use, and don't ignore the low-battery warning in summer.
Keep a Mechanical Backup
Most smart deadbolts still have a keyway. Some keypad-only models don't, and rely on a battery-jump contact or your phone instead. Decide which you want before you buy, and keep the backup key somewhere you can actually reach.
Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit
Some models work with Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit, and some don't. It depends on the exact model and version, so check the packaging for the platform you use, or ask us on the call before you buy.
The full breakdown is in our smart locks vs. deadbolts guide.
When Keys Change Hands Often
Smart locks earn their place where people come and go: a rental between tenants, a short-term rental between guests, a small office. Deleting a code is quicker than a rekey. If the lock also has a keyway and physical keys went out, that cylinder still needs a rekey.
For business hardware like master key systems, panic bars and access control, see our commercial locksmith page. Installation projects are limited to under $1,000 total โ for anything larger, we'll tell you on the phone.
