Smart Lock Installation in NYC
Do you need a smart lock installed onto your apartment door? Greenwich Locksmiths has been installing smart locks for New Yorkers ever since they first became available. A smart lock adds the type of convenience and flexibility New Yorkers crave, allowing access for your cleaner, dog walker, plant nanny, friends etc. With just the click of a button on your smart phone, you can grant someone temporary or extended access. No more rushing back home to let someone in! The best part? You can revoke access whenever you’d like! Smart locks provide peace of mind and convenience, delivered instantly.
Smart Door Lock Installation Done By Professionals
Now, you may wonder why everyone in NYC does not have a smart lock? This is a very good question. This is because buildings in NYC are very different from buildings everywhere else in the world. The “one size fits all” solution that works for do-it-yourself smart lock kits very often does not apply for a NYC apartment door. It takes a special set of skills to install a smart lock on these types of doors that will not only be strong and secure, but will operate easily and reliably for your guests as well.
This is not a job for a contractor, handyman or your building super. Of course they will be eagerly willing to install a smart lock on your door, but you may end up not liking the result and find yourself with an intermittently working smart lock and a visibly damaged door. In addition to simply not being a licensed locksmith, they have not installed thousands of smart locks like we have. We have encountered every type of “special” situation and pride ourselves on installing smart locks on doors otherwise deemed impossible. Our work is neat and professional. You do not want to get that “your lock is not working” call from your guest while you are on the other side of the country, a story we have heard many times.
Deadbolt Smart Lock for your NYC Apartment Door
Do you just need a simple smart lock solution for your apartment front door? We can help you! Most apartment doors here in NYC have older style deadbolts (because they are older style doors) and therefore can’t accommodate smart locks out of the box. You need a professional smart lock installer like us to setup smart lock service properly on your apartment door. We install all types of smart locks, but prefer to install the August Smart Lock – in our experience it is the most versatile and reliable. The added features of being able to use any key (including the existing key you use now!) as well as adding a pin pad make it the best choice by far.
The Greenwich Locksmiths™ Difference
Greenwich Locksmiths has been providing lock and security services to New Yorkers for decades. We have an established protocol for handling sensitive information and items such as keys, as well as a strict code of conduct when we are on site. We are true professionals and your keys are only handled by a licensed (vetted) locksmith. When it comes to setting up your actual smart lock, nobody should ever ask for any of your information or logins. We set up the hardware and wait while you set up your smart lock on your phone. Once that is done we thoroughly test everything. This news article is an example of a security systems installer who installed back doors into smart security systems that later allowed them access. If there was no access granted to begin with, this would never happen. When we install your smart lock we are working in a completely separate layer.
Innovators in the Smart Lock Industry
We are not only experienced in digital door lock installation, but we are pioneers. From installing some of the earliest digital access control systems in the 90s to cloning the widest variety of RFID keys in our West Village locksmith shop we have not only seen the industry change, but have been an active participant in that change. We saw smart locks and technology trends come and go. We even just patented our own smart lock design.
Who would you rather have install your smart lock – someone with these credentials, or someone off the street? The answer is not just clear, it is obvious. Give us a call today and see why Greenwich Locksmiths has been New York City’s favorite locksmith for over 45 years!
