FAQS about digital smart door lock installation near you

What is a smart door lock?

A smart lock is a security system that doesn't require physical keys. Instead, it is controlled and operated by a smartphone or other device. Smart locks typically use Bluetooth or wifi to connect with your smart device.

There are a variety of different smart keyless entry systems available, including:

  • Keypad (such as the Ultion Nuki lock)

  • Wifi (such as the ERA smart lock)

  • RFID

  • Bluetooth

  • Fingerprint (such as the Yale Conexis smart lock)

  • Z-Wave

  • Ring smart lock

What are the downsides of smart locks?

While the covenience and high-security a keyless door lock installation brings is a huge bonus, there are a few downsides to consider too:

  • Batteries need replacing periodically

  • Some models rely on WiFi or Bluetooth to work fully

  • Older or warped doors may cause compatibility issues

  • Not all smart locks meet insurance requirements

  • Setup errors can affect security or performance

What tradesperson installs a smart lock?

A locksmith or a smart lock engineer is the best tradesperson to contact if you want to get a smart lock installed. Make sure to check if they install smart locks as part of their services.

How long does it take to install a smart lock?

Typically, a smart lock is fairly easy and straightforward to install. It can take as little as 15 minutes to install a smart lock, depending on what type of system you go for. However, it could take longer depending on the system and setup.

Can I install a digital lock in an existing door?

Yes, most smart locks fit standard UK uPVC, composite and timber doors. A locksmith will check if the door’s multipoint mechanism and cylinder are compatible before installation. Some older doors may need minor adjustments for the lock to fit properly.

Can I install a smart door lock myself?

We recommend hiring an experienced tradesperson for smart lock installation. However, if you are planning a DIY smart lock installation, our how-to guide takes you through all the steps involved.
