FAQ:

Q: How do I choose the best electronic door locks?

A: Electronic door locks must be easy to install and be a good fit for your door type. Before you decide on the type of electronic door lock to buy, assess your door dimensions and see if they are a match to the specifications on the lock you have chosen. Installation and setup must be simple and should not take up a lot of your time.

Q: Are electronic door locks the first step to a smart home?

A: An electronic door lock can be the first step toward a fully automated smart home. People who are skeptical or intimidated by home automation often find a smart lock easier to understand, making them more likely to give it a try. After experiencing the benefits of a keyless lock, they just can’t wait to make something else smart.

Q: How do I install an electronic lock on my door lock?

A: Match the back plates to the current back plate. Using the new back plate, insert screws into the deadbolt mechanism and secure it with a screwdriver. Match the adapter piece from the kit to correspond with the current lock, then insert it into the electronic lock. Install the electronic lock onto the back plate and clamp it down.

Q: What is the best deadbolt lock for a door?

A: The August Wi-Fi is our pick for the best smart door lock. It’s easy to install, works directly with your smartphone (thanks to built-in Wi-Fi), and connects with nearly every smart device in your home automation system. The Schlage Encode is a good pick if you want a deadbolt lock with a keypad.
