Keypad Locks in Charlotte

What to think about before buying one

The mechanical side is the same as any deadbolt: bolt throw, strike alignment, and screws long enough to reach the framing. A smart lock on a badly aligned door jams more often than a manual one, because the motor has less force than your hand.

Then the practical questions. Batteries, and whether it warns you before they die. Whether there is a key override for when they do. Whether it needs a hub. And whether the thing you actually want is codes for visitors, which a keypad deadbolt does without any app at all.

We will fit one you have bought or suggest what suits the door, and we will tell you when a door is a poor candidate — a heavily weatherstripped door that needs a shoulder to close is going to frustrate you.
