Do Smart Locks Work During a Power Outage?
Yes, in most cases. Battery powered smart locks run on internal batteries rather than home electrical power, so a power outage does not stop them from working. Most models also include a physical key override as a backup in case the battery dies unexpectedly.
Brands We Install
We install and service Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled smart locks from major manufacturers including Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale. Each of these brands publishes its own testing data under the ANSI and BHMA grading system used across the lock industry, which rates hardware from Grade 1, the highest commercial rating, down to Grade 3 for lighter residential use. We can walk you through which specific model and grade makes sense for your door.
Keyless Entry Options
Depending on the model, smart locks can be unlocked using a numeric keypad code, a smartphone app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, a fingerprint reader, or a traditional key as a backup. Some models support all of these at once, giving your household flexibility depending on the situation.
Installation on Existing Doors
Most smart locks are designed to fit standard door prep, meaning we can often install one directly in place of your existing deadbolt without modifying the door itself. We will confirm compatibility with your specific door and hardware before starting the installation.
