Smart Lock Installation
Ditch the keys and embrace the future. We provide professional installation and setup for electronic keypads and Wi-Fi smart locks in Statesboro and Bulloch County.
Upgrade to Keyless Entry
Smart locks offer unparalleled convenience and control over your home's security. Whether you want to unlock the door with your fingerprint, let a dog walker in via a smartphone app from work, or simply never worry about losing your house keys again, upgrading to electronic hardware is the definitive answer.
However, improperly installed smart locks are a massive headache. If a traditional deadbolt is slightly misaligned with the strike plate, you can just push on the door while turning the key. A smart lock motor cannot do that. If it binds, the motor will burn out quickly, batteries will drain in weeks rather than months, and the lock will frequently jam, leaving your home unsecured.
We ensure the deadbolt aligns perfectly with the strike plate, providing a frictionless operation that maximizes both security and battery life. We install top-tier models including the Schlage Encode, Yale Assure SL, August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, Kwikset Halo, Level Bolt, and Aqara.
Retrofit vs. Full Replacement
There are two main types of smart locks. Retrofit locks (like the August or Level Bolt) replace only the interior thumbturn or hide inside the door itself, allowing you to keep your exterior hardware and existing physical keys intact. This is ideal for apartments or historic homes.
Full replacement locks (like the Schlage Encode or Yale Assure) replace the entire deadbolt mechanism, inside and out. These often feature sleek touchscreen keypads or biometric fingerprint scanners on the exterior. They offer a more complete upgrade and tighter integration.
Furthermore, smart locks allow for deep integration with your existing smart home ecosystem, Ring, Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. You can set routines, like automatically locking the door every night at 10 PM, or turning on the entryway lights when the door unlocks.

Stop hiding keys under rocks. Generate temporary access codes for guests that expire automatically upon checkout, and monitor access logs remotely.

Kids coming home from school? Give them a personal 4-digit code or register their fingerprint instead of a key they might lose on the playground. Get a notification when they unlock the door.
- Service Workers Access
Need to let a plumber, cleaner, or dog walker in while you are at work? Remotely unlock the door from your phone, or give them a schedule-restricted PIN code.
- Late Night Arrivals
No more fumbling for keys in the dark while carrying groceries. Just punch in your code on an illuminated keypad, scan your finger, or let the door auto-unlock as you approach via Bluetooth.
- Did I Lock the Door?
You're halfway to Savannah and can't remember if you locked the front door. Just check the app on your phone to verify its status and lock it remotely if needed.
Professional Installation Process
Hardware Removal
We carefully remove your old deadbolt hardware. If you are using a retrofit model, we only remove the interior thumbturn.
Door Prep & Alignment
Crucial step: we prep the door hole and adjust the strike plate on the frame until the deadbolt hole aligns perfectly without any friction.
Installation & Calibration
We install the new smart lock, insert the batteries, and run the mechanical calibration sequence so the lock learns where "open" and "closed" are.
Network Setup
We guide you through downloading the manufacturer's app, pairing the lock via Bluetooth, and connecting it to your home Wi-Fi network.
