Smart Lock Installation in Boca Raton — Fitted, Programmed and Tested on Your Door

Why Boca Homeowners Go Keyless
Most smart lock calls in Boca Raton start the same way: too many people need to get in, and too many keys are floating around. A code or a phone solves that. If your current locks are fine and you only want old keys retired, rekeying costs less, and we will say so. These are the situations where a keypad or smart lock is the better answer:
Cleaners, dog walkers and caregivers
Give each person their own code instead of a key. When someone stops working for you, delete one code and nothing else changes. Our guide to codes for cleaners covers how to set that up sensibly.
You are away half the year
Seasonal residents use a smart lock to let in the house watcher, the AC company or a neighbor from a phone up north, and to see that the door was locked again afterwards.
Family who lose keys
Teenagers, grandchildren and visiting relatives. A code cannot be left at school or dropped on the beach, and nobody has to hide a spare under a planter.
A rental or guest suite
A fresh code for each guest or tenant, removed when they leave. No key handoffs in a parking lot, and no wondering how many copies were made.
Arthritis or full hands
Pressing a keypad or tapping a phone is far easier than lining up and turning a small key, especially with groceries in both arms.
You bought a house with one already fitted
The previous owner, their contractors and their relatives may all still have working codes. We reset the lock and program it fresh so only your people get in.
What We Install in Boca Raton
Keypad deadbolts
Code entry with no app and no internet needed. The simplest and most reliable way to go keyless, and the one we suggest most for front doors, garage side doors and rentals.
WiFi and Bluetooth smart locks
Schlage, Kwikset and Yale models paired to your phone, your WiFi or hub, and a voice assistant if you use one. Locked and unlocked from the app in front of you before we leave.
Fingerprint locks
A fingerprint reader with a keypad and key as backup. Good for households that do not want to remember codes. We enroll each person’s print on site.
Locks you already bought
Have a lock still in the box? We fit it, correct the door prep if the bolt binds, and program it. If it is the wrong lock for the door, we tell you before opening the packaging.
Mechanical keypads for businesses
Pushbutton locks with no batteries or wiring, suited to offices, stock rooms and back doors. See commercial locksmith in Boca Raton for the full range.
Gates and side doors
Pool gates, courtyard gates and garage side doors can often take a weather-rated keypad too. Text a photo and we will tell you what is possible on that gate.
Choosing a Lock That Survives Boca
Reviews written for other climates do not account for salt air, afternoon sun and summer humidity. Three things decide whether a smart lock is still working here in five years, and none of them is the app.
Metal inside, not plastic
Cheap electronic locks use plastic gears and thin housings that corrode and crack. East of Federal Highway and on the barrier island that happens quickly. We fit models with solid metal internals; our guide to smart locks for South Florida explains what to look for.
A real key override
Batteries die and WiFi drops. Every lock we install keeps a physical key cylinder, so a flat battery is an annoyance and not a lockout. If yours is already dead, see what to do when a smart lock battery dies.
A door that closes cleanly
A motor-driven bolt needs to slide freely. If you have to push or pull the door to lock it today, the smart lock will struggle and drain batteries. We adjust the strike and alignment as part of the install.
One thing worth knowing: the installation matters as much as the brand. Most “faulty” smart locks we are called to in Boca are good locks fitted to a door that binds, or never set up properly. That is why programming and testing are part of every job, not an extra.
Before You Book a Smart Lock Install in Boca
- Check your association rules first. Many Boca condos and HOA communities control what goes on an exterior door, including finish and style. One call to the office avoids buying a lock you cannot use. Our page on HOA lock rules in Boca Raton explains the usual limits.
- Text a photo of both sides of the door and the edge. It shows the bore, the backset and whether it is a standard deadbolt, a mortise lock or multipoint hardware. That decides which locks will fit.
- Say if it is an impact or French door. Multipoint hardware limits the choice of smart locks, and some need an adapter or a different approach.
- Decide who needs access. Family, cleaner, dog walker, guests. A short list lets us set every code while we are there, so you are not learning the app alone later.
- Add us to your gate list. Boca West, Broken Sound, Boca Pointe, Woodfield, St. Andrews, Mission Bay and Loggers’ Run all check visitors in.
We do not publish prices because the lock you choose drives most of the cost, and the range is wide. You get a specific quote by phone or on site, free, before any work starts, and the number you agree to is the number on the receipt. Everything we install carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty on top of the manufacturer’s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install a smart lock I already bought?
Yes. We fit locks bought online or in a store all the time. Text a photo of the box and of your door first, so we can confirm it suits the door before you open the packaging. If the door prep is off, we correct it during the install so the bolt runs freely.
Which smart lock is best for a Boca Raton home?
One with metal internals, a real key override and a keypad, from a mainstream brand such as Schlage, Kwikset or Yale. Near the ocean and the Intracoastal, build quality matters far more than the feature list, because salt air destroys cheap electronics. Tell us about the door and who needs access, and we will suggest two or three that fit.
Will my HOA or condo allow a smart lock?
Many do, some limit the finish or style, and a few condos do not allow any change to the unit door. It is worth one call to the office before you buy. If the association says no, a keypad on an interior or garage side door, or a rekey of the existing lock, may still solve the problem.
What happens if the battery dies?
You use the key. Every lock we install keeps a physical key override, and most give weeks of low-battery warnings first. Batteries usually last several months to a year depending on how busy the door is. We suggest fresh batteries at the start of hurricane season.
Can you reprogram a smart lock someone else installed?
Usually, yes. We reset and reprogram most residential and commercial keypad and smart locks, including when the master code is lost or the previous owner’s codes still work. Programming covers door locks only. We do not program car keys or key fobs.
Do you set up the app and the codes?
Yes, that is part of the job. We set the master code, add a code for each person on your list, pair the lock to the app and your WiFi if it has one, and set auto-lock the way you want it. Then you lock and unlock it yourself while we are still there.
Can a smart lock go on an impact or French door?
Sometimes. Doors with multipoint hardware throw bolts at the top and bottom as well as the side, so a standard smart deadbolt does not simply swap in. Some doors take a compatible smart lock or an add-on keypad. Send a photo of the door edge and we will tell you what will work.
How long does a smart lock installation take?
Most take under an hour on a standard deadbolt door, including programming and a walk-through. Doors that need the strike adjusted, or locks that need a hub paired, take a little longer. Appointments run 9 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week, and are often available the same day.
