About the service
Professional Smart Lock Installation in Sherman Oaks
Most of the calls we get in Sherman Oaks are people south of the 101, in the hillier streets toward Mulholland, who are done hiding a key under a planter. Half want to hand a code to a housekeeper or a dog walker without cutting another copy. The other half are running a short-term rental and need guests to let themselves in at 11pm without a meetup.
Smart locks are easy to buy and easy to install badly. The older Spanish and ranch homes here often have doors that have swelled or settled, so the deadbolt drags before any electronics get involved. We fix the door first. We also flag the units that depend on a phone signal in a dead spot, which happens a lot in the deeper hillside lots off the canyon roads.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Sherman Oaks
We start at the door, not the box. The tech checks how the deadbolt throws, whether the strike is aligned, and how thick the door is, because a lot of the lever-style smart locks need a specific backset and won't seat on an old door without adjustment. If the bolt is fighting the frame, no keypad fixes that, so we plane or re-strike it before mounting anything.
Then we mount, wire the keypad, and set up the app or the Wi-Fi bridge on your own network while we're standing there, so you're not troubleshooting it alone after we leave. We program your codes, show you how to add and revoke them, test the auto-lock timing, and leave you a real metal key that works. Most single-door jobs in the 91403 and 91423 area run about an hour. We cover the Valley side of LA County, days, nights, and weekends, at (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Which smart lock brand should I get for my house?
It depends on your door and what you actually want. If you just want a keypad and a backup key, a deadbolt-replacement model is simplest. If you run an Airbnb in the 91423 area and need to issue and kill codes remotely, you want one with a Wi-Fi bridge and good app code management. Tell us the use case and we'll steer you to two or three that fit your door rather than whatever was on sale.
Does a smart lock need Wi-Fi to work?
Not to lock and unlock. The keypad and physical key work on their own. Wi-Fi or a bridge is what lets you control it from your phone when you're not home, get notifications, and hand out codes remotely. On some of the deeper hillside lots off the canyon roads the router signal doesn't reach the front door, so we check that during the install and add a bridge near the entry if needed.
What happens if the battery dies?
Most units warn you for weeks with low-battery alerts on the keypad and in the app, so a dead battery is rare if you don't ignore it. If it does go flat, many models take a quick jump from a 9-volt held to contacts on the bottom, and every install we do leaves you a real metal key that still opens the deadbolt. We show you both before we go.
Can I still use a physical key after switching to a smart lock?
Yes, and we recommend it. We install models that keep a working keyway, and we hand you metal keys at the end of the job. It's your fallback for a dead battery, a guest who isn't good with keypads, or a phone left at the office. Keypads and apps are convenient, but a key in a drawer is the thing that gets you in at 2am when everything else has quit.
