Smart Locks & Keyless Entry for Homes
Fast | Reliable | Local
Professional smart lock installation for Greater Boston & South Shore homes. Electronic deadbolts, keypad locks, and smartphone-controlled entry systems. No more fumbling for keys.
What Are Smart Locks?
Smart locks replace traditional keyed deadbolts with electronic entry systems. Instead of metal keys, you unlock your door using PIN codes, smartphones, key fobs, or fingerprint scanners. No more hiding keys under the mat, making copies for house sitters, or getting locked out when you forget your keys.
For homeowners throughout Greater Boston and the South Shore, smart locks provide convenience and security. Grant temporary access codes to contractors, dog walkers, or Airbnb guests—then delete the codes when you're done. Check your phone to see if you remembered to lock the door. Get alerts when your kids arrive home from school. All without managing physical keys.
We install, program, and service all major smart lock brands including August, Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset SmartCode, and Lockly. Whether you're upgrading a single front door or outfitting your entire home, we'll recommend the right smart lock for your needs and existing door hardware.

Why Upgrade to Smart Locks?
Traditional Deadbolts:
• Require physical keys (can be lost, copied, forgotten)
• No access logs (don't know who entered when)
• Can't grant temporary access (must give out physical keys)
• No remote control (can't lock/unlock from away)
• No integration with smart home
Smart Locks:
• No keys needed (codes, phone, or fingerprint)
• Complete activity logs (see who entered when)
• Temporary access codes (auto-expiring guest access)
• Remote control available (WiFi models)
• Integration with Alexa, Google Home, etc.
Smart locks don't eliminate traditional keys entirely—most include key override for emergencies. But daily use is keyless, which means more convenience and better control over home access.
