One licensed installer, hardware in hand, work done in 45–90 minutes per door.
Residential Keypad Locks We Install
🏠 Schlage Encode (Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt)
Built-in Wi-Fi (no separate hub), Schlage app for remote unlocking and code management, mechanical key backup, AAA battery powered, BHMA Grade 2 rating. Best balance of features, security, and reliability for most Charlotte homes.
🏠 Yale Assure SL (Touchscreen Smart Lock)
Slim profile (no key cylinder visible from outside), touchscreen keypad, optional Wi-Fi or Z-Wave module for SmartThings/Alexa. Best for design-conscious homes that don't want a visible key slot. We install both the SL (key-free) and standard Yale Assure (with key backup).
🏠 Kwikset Halo / SmartCode
Budget-friendly smart-keypad option, Wi-Fi or Z-Wave variants. SmartKey rekey technology lets you re-pin the lock yourself if needed — useful for landlords or short-term rentals.
Commercial Keypad Locks We Install
🏢 Alarm Lock Trilogy (DL2700/DL3000)
Battery-powered standalone keypad lock for offices, storage, and IT closets. Up to 2,000 user codes, 40,000-event audit trail, weatherproof model available for exterior doors. The most-installed commercial keypad lock in Charlotte commercial buildings.
🏢 Schlage AD-Series (Modular Electronic Lock)
Highest-end commercial keypad — modular reader (PIN, prox card, mag stripe, smart card) on the same lock body. Networked or offline modes. Used in healthcare, schools, and Class A office buildings where access control needs may evolve.
🏢 Kaba Simplex 1000 (Mechanical Pushbutton)
Pure mechanical — no batteries, no electronics, no failure modes. 5-button combination for low-traffic doors that need basic access control without technology. Classic for IT closets, mechanical rooms, and storage.
🏢 Schlage / Yale Networked Smart Locks
Wi-Fi or BLE-enabled commercial keypads that integrate with property management software (real estate, vacation rentals, coworking). We commission with your software vendor and verify enrollment before leaving the site.
Where Charlotte Customers Use Keypad Locks
- Front and back doors of homes — never lose a key, give kids and dog walkers a personal code
- Short-term rentals (Airbnb / VRBO) — change codes between guests, no key handoffs
- Office suites and break rooms — control access for cleaners and contractors
- Storage and supply rooms — track who entered and when via audit trail
- Mechanical and IT closets — Kaba Simplex for pure mechanical security
- Healthcare narcotic rooms — DEA-compliant access logs
- HOA amenity buildings — gym, pool deck, mail room (revoke codes when residents move out)
Why Have a Locksmith Install Instead of DIY?
- Door prep matters — exterior doors often need backset, bore, or strike-plate adjustments to fit a new lock cleanly
- Strike alignment — a poorly aligned strike will cause the lock to bind and the keypad mechanism to fail prematurely
- Code program for security — we set strong default codes, disable manufacturer test codes, and configure auto-lock and lockout settings
- Warranty — manufacturers honor warranty on professionally installed locks; DIY installs often void coverage
- Mechanical key backup configured — we ensure the backup cylinder is keyed to your existing key (or rekeyed to your preference)
