Smart & Digital Lock Installation in Harrow
Keyless entry, a keypad for the kids or a cleaner, remote access for a rental – smart locks are genuinely useful if you fit the right one properly. I do smart lock installation across Harrow and the surrounding areas — smart, digital and keypad locks supplied and fitted, and I’ll give you the honest version: which are worth it, which aren’t, and what suits your door.

Any brand, supplied or fitted
I install any brand – Yale, Tedee, Ultion Nuki and others. I’ll supply and fit one, or fit a smart lock you’ve already bought – whichever suits you. If you’re choosing, I’ll steer you to something that’s secure as well as clever.
Honest advice on smart locks
Not every smart lock is as secure as its advert. Some sacrifice mechanical strength for gadgetry, and a smart lock on a weak door or a snap-happy cylinder is still a weak door. I make sure the mechanical security underneath is right first, then add the smart layer on top – so you get the convenience without losing the protection.
Great for landlords & holiday lets: change the code between tenants, no more lost-key call-outs, and let people in remotely. See my commercial locksmith service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a smart lock still open in a power cut or on a flat battery?
Yes. Good smart locks run on batteries, not mains, and warn you well before they die — most also keep a physical key override or emergency power contact. I only fit ones that fail safe; a lock that strands you when the battery goes isn’t worth having.
Which smart locks actually fit a uPVC multipoint door?
Fewer than the adverts suggest. A lot of the popular ones are built for American-style doors and won’t drive a uPVC multipoint mechanism. I fit models made to work with your existing gearbox and handle — I check your door first, so you don’t buy one that won’t fit.
Are they easy for a burglar to hack?
For a decent lock fitted properly, no. The weak points are cheap models, weak passwords and out-of-date firmware — not someone hacking your door from the street. Burglars still overwhelmingly go for force, not electronics. I’ll steer you to reputable brands and set it up securely.
