RentalsSmart lock installation in Vancouver, start to finish.
Smart locks we install
We fit and set up the mainstream keypad, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi deadbolts, and retrofit units that sit on the inside of your existing deadbolt. We fit a lock you bought as readily as one we supply.
We pick Grade 2 hardware or better, because a smart lock is still a deadbolt. The bolt, the strike and the frame do the work, and the app only decides who may turn it.
What smart lock installation costs
Fitting is $80-$160 a door, installed, including the strike, 3-inch screws into the stud and the setup. The lock itself is quoted by model, so you can compare it with any shelf, and we do not load the labour when you supply your own.
Where it pays back is access changes. Each time a tenant, cleaner or sitter changes, a code replaces a rekey at $25-$45 per cylinder. A household with two adults and one key each does not need one, and we will say so.
Installation, setup and handover
We check the door first: backset, bore, thickness and the old prep. The most common smart lock fault is a lock that was never going to sit right on that door.
Then we fit it, align the strike so the motor is not straining, pair it with your phone and set the codes, auto-lock and battery alerts. Before we leave you add and delete a code yourself, so the system is yours.
Rentals, short stays and code rotation
Each guest, cleaner and contractor gets their own code, and the log shows when it was used. Landlords get an owner code that survives every turnover and a written reset procedure for a tenant who leaves with the app.
A building entry door is strata territory and needs their sign-off first. For a whole building, see commercial locksmith or access control.
When a smart lock is the wrong answer
A mortise or multi-point door needs a purpose-built unit, not an adapter. A door under 1 3/8 inches, or a fire door with concealed hardware, will not take one without breaking its rating.
And if the worry is force rather than convenience, a restricted cylinder and a reinforced strike is cheaper and stronger: see high-security locks.

What does smart lock installation cost in Vancouver?
Fitting is $80-$160 a door, including the strike, screws and setup. The lock is quoted by model, or we fit one you supply at the same rate.
Will a smart lock fit my door?
Most standard deadbolt doors, yes. Mortise bodies, multi-point doors, doors under 1 3/8 inches and fire doors with concealed hardware are the exceptions, and we check before quoting.
What happens if the battery or Wi-Fi dies?
The lock warns you well before the battery goes, and most models keep a key or keypad that works without the network. Wi-Fi only affects the remote features.
Can I keep a normal key as well?
Yes. Most keypad deadbolts keep a keyed cylinder, and a retrofit unit leaves your outside cylinder as it is.
Is a smart lock more secure than a normal deadbolt?
Not by itself. A budget smart lock on a Grade 3 body is a Grade 3 door with an app. If force is the worry, a high-security cylinder and a reinforced strike are the better spend.
