About the service
Professional Smart Lock Installation in Pasadena
Most people who call us in Pasadena have already bought the lock. They saw a keypad model online, opened the box, and then realized their front door isn't quite square anymore. A lot of the housing stock here is old, including the Craftsman and Spanish-style homes north of the freeway, and those original doors swell and shift with the seasons. A smart lock won't latch cleanly if the bolt and strike plate don't line up, so that's the first thing we look at.
We install keypad, app-controlled, and Wi-Fi locks, and we'll tell you honestly which one suits your door and your habits. If you mainly want to stop hiding a spare under a pot, a battery keypad does the job. If you're running a short-term rental and need to issue and kill codes remotely, that's a different setup.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Pasadena
When we arrive we measure the door first: thickness, the bore hole, the backset, and whether the existing deadbolt sits flush. Older Pasadena doors sometimes need the mortise or strike adjusted before any smart lock will throw smoothly, and we handle that on the spot rather than forcing the unit on. Then we mount the lock, set the master code, and walk you through adding user codes for family or a cleaner.
If you picked a Wi-Fi model, we confirm it reaches your router or pair it with the right bridge, since some homes here have thick plaster walls that block the signal at the front of the house. We test the app, show you how to lock and unlock remotely, and replace the batteries if the ones in the box are weak. Most installs run under an hour. We cover Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, and we answer the phone at (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Which smart lock brand should I get for my Pasadena home?
It depends on your door and what you want it to do. For a straightforward keyless front door, a well-known battery keypad deadbolt is plenty. If you need remote codes for a rental or out-of-town family, get a model with Wi-Fi or a bridge. Tell us your situation when you call and we'll point you at something that fits an older door, since not every unit clears a thick or slightly warped slab.
Does a smart lock need Wi-Fi to work?
No. Most smart locks unlock with a keypad code or Bluetooth right at the door without any internet. Wi-Fi is only needed if you want to lock, unlock, or change codes while you're away from the house. Plenty of Pasadena customers run keypad-only and never miss it. If you do want remote access, we'll make sure the lock reaches your router or set up the bridge it needs.
What happens if the battery dies?
Most smart locks warn you for weeks with a low-battery alert in the app or a beep at the keypad, so a dead battery rarely sneaks up. If it does die, many models let you touch a 9-volt battery to contacts on the front to power it long enough to enter your code, and you'll still have the physical key we leave you. We use good batteries and tell you roughly how long they'll last for your model.
Can you keep a physical key as a backup?
Yes, and we recommend it. Almost every smart deadbolt we install still takes a real key in case the electronics or batteries fail. We make sure that keyway works and hand you the keys before we leave. If you'd rather your new lock match your existing keys, mention it and we can often key it to the same cylinder so one key still opens everything.
