Keyless Entry
A fitted, aligned, and fully tested electronic deadbolt, keypad, app, and key backup all working before we leave.
Done Right the First Time
A misaligned strike plate or skipped app test leaves you with a lock that looks fitted but does not work reliably.
Fitting a lock without measuring the backset first means the bolt may not reach the strike plate, leaving the door unsecured.
The installer measures the backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, before any hardware is removed from the door.
A strike plate left in its original position after a deadbolt swap causes the bolt to bind, straining the motor over time.
The strike plate position is checked and adjusted before the lock body goes on, so the bolt seats cleanly every time.
Leaving without completing app and keypad setup means the electronic functions may fail the first time you actually need them.
Keypad pairing, app access, and a deadbolt throw test are all completed and confirmed before the installer leaves your door.
Most electronic deadbolts fit doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, fitting without checking can mean the lock cannot seat flush.
Door thickness is measured during the compatibility check so the correct hardware is confirmed before any fitting begins.
What We Cover
From a straightforward deadbolt swap to a full door-prep and app-pairing job on an older Houston townhouse.
Existing deadbolt removed and new electronic unit fitted with backset verified and latch tested for clean engagement.
Strike plate position adjusted so the bolt seats fully, preventing binding that shortens the lock motor’s working life.
Initial user code set, lock paired to your phone, and app access confirmed with a live deadbolt throw test on-site.
Backset, door thickness, and existing bore size measured before hardware is ordered or removed from the door.
Battery level noted and confirmed before job closes.
Key cylinder tested and handed over with the lock.
Wood and composite front doors measured and fitted.
Keyless entry fitted without permanent door damage.
Why Choose Us
Accountability at every stage, from the written estimate through to the post-install follow-up call.
You receive an itemized list of every component and its cost before any work is scheduled or hardware is ordered.
We connect you with vetted independent local installers who carry out the door check, fitting, and testing in person.
Before leaving, the installer demonstrates the keypad, the app, and how to add or remove user access codes.
After the job closes, we follow up to confirm the electronic functions and app access are still working as expected.
Any adjustment, strike plate repositioning, additional drilling, is identified at the compatibility check, not billed after.
