Smart lock installation built around the people who manage property
From a single home to whole portfolios, we survey, install and hand over every smart lock with the clarity and support the owner, manager and occupier need.
We fit Yale, Nuki, August, Igloohome and TTLock, and we will fit a lock you have already bought. Which one suits you depends on the door and how you use it — a family front door and a forty-unit portfolio want different things. How we choose between them.

Learn moreA smart lock install that works for the property, the people and the process
Most installers stop at the hardware. We finish the job with access rules, guest and team credentials, and a handover that makes your property easier to manage — whether it’s a home, a short-let portfolio or a public-sector site.
Installation + handover
We fit the lock, configure the access system and leave you with the exact codes, apps and handover notes your team needs.
Guest-ready access
PINs, app access and expiry rules set before check-in so guests and contractors arrive with a door that already works.
Portfolio-friendly process
One quoted scope, one visit plan and one report for every property, even when multiple doors or units are involved.
Fixed-scope pricing
A fixed quote up front, no hidden callout fees and no surprise day-of changes to the price.
How it works
1. Book
Tell us the property type, lock preference (or ask us to recommend one), and a few dates that work for you.
2. Confirm
We confirm the visit and, for portfolios/multi-property jobs, agree a schedule that doesn't need a separate callout per unit.
3. Install & configure
The lock gets fitted, then connected — cloud account, PIN codes, and integration with how you actually manage access.
4. Handover
A short walkthrough so you can run it yourself day-to-day, plus documentation for your own records.
Learn moreWhat actually changes when the keys go
On the left, a traditional lock: a key in the barrel, bolts down the edge of the door, and one way in. Everybody who needs access needs a key cut, and every key you hand out is one you have to get back. On the right, a door we fitted, being opened with a fingertip.
What changes day to day is not the door — it is who can open it, and how quickly you can change your mind. The cleaner gets a code that only works on Thursdays. Your daughter gets one that stops working when she moves out, without anyone changing a barrel. A guest gets one that expires on Sunday at eleven. Nobody cuts a key, nobody drives across town to let anybody in, and nothing has to be collected afterwards.
There is still a key. Every lock we fit keeps a mechanical override, and it belongs in a drawer for the day the batteries finally go. The point is not that keys disappear — it is that you stop carrying one, and stop handing copies to people you then have to trust to give them back.
Recent work
Three very different jobs — a seven-lock room-by-room rental, a single internal door in a family home, and a period timber front door where the obvious position for the lock turned out to be the wrong one. Each write-up covers what was fitted, what made it tricky, and how it's used day to day.
7 smart locks for a room-by-room rental
One front door plus six bedrooms, each let separately on its own dates, with access driven straight from the booking. Includes video of the installed locks.
Learn moreA master bedroom that opens only on request
A Manchester homeowner wanted his children kept out of the master bedroom unless he authorised it — solved with fingerprints and expiring codes instead of a key.
Learn moreA smart lock on a glazed timber door
A broken keypad lock on a period front door, where the obvious position would have weakened the timber and risked the glazing. Fitted lower instead.
Learn moreManchester and the Northwest — and further when the job justifies it
We're a smart lock installer based in Greater Manchester, and most of our work is within about an hour of the city. That is where same-day availability and a quick call-back if something needs adjusting genuinely apply — see the full coverage area for postcodes.
We do travel further. Multi-door sites, property portfolios and phased rollouts across England, Wales and Scotland are all work we take on, with travel priced into the quote up front rather than added afterwards. A single front door four hours away probably is not worth either of us doing; a twenty-door rollout almost certainly is. If you are outside the Northwest, ask — we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
Smart lock, digital door lock, keyless entry — the same thing?
Questions
Frequently asked
Near enough, yes — they are different names for the same category, and which one you hear depends on where you saw it. Digital door lock and electronic door lock are the older retail names, still the normal terms in a lot of the world. Smart door lock and smart lock usually imply an app, remote access or codes you can issue and revoke.
The label matters far less than two things: how it opens — PIN, fingerprint, key card, app, or a mechanical key as backup — and whether it actually suits your door. We fit and configure all of them, so tell us what you want it to do rather than worrying about what it is called.
A good one, fitted properly, yes. The weak point is almost never the electronics — it is the cylinder, the door and the frame, exactly as with a mechanical lock. A cheap smart door lock on a solid door with a decent cylinder is harder to beat than an expensive one fitted badly.
That is most of what we are being paid for: checking the door and frame first, choosing hardware that suits them, and saying so if the honest answer is that the door needs sorting before any lock goes on it.
Usually, and it is one of the most common jobs we do — but it depends on the multipoint mechanism inside the door rather than on the door itself. There is a full write-up of what works on uPVC and composite doors, including the cases where the answer is no.
