Smart lock installation and setup

Last reviewed April 2026 · Swift Key San Diego

Smart locks are only as good as the install and the setup. A lock that doesn't align cleanly with the strike binds the motor and eats batteries. A Wi-Fi lock paired to a weak signal drops offline. We install the hardware, align the strike, pair the app, set up guest codes, and test every feature before we leave.

Real feedback

Homeowners who hired us for this

Locked keys in the car at Target parking lot on a Sunday afternoon. Called and the tech was there in 25 minutes. Used some kind of inflatable wedge and a rod — no damage to the door. Paid what they quoted, no surprises.

Just bought our first house and wanted all the locks rekeyed. Four doors, keyed alike, done in under an hour. The tech explained everything and even showed us how a rekey works. Way cheaper than replacing all the locks like we thought.

Jason B. Lock Rekey · Oceanside

My late father's safe had been sitting locked for ten years — we had no combination. Swift Key opened it non-destructively, then helped me change the combo so I could actually use it. Took about 90 minutes. Professional and careful with the safe.
