Smart locks, keypads and garage door control that let the right people in with their own code, and tell you when a door is left unlocked or the garage is left open.
A spare key gets copied, lent out and forgotten. Codes and app control fix that, and the garage stops being the door everyone forgets about.
Give the kids, the housekeeper, the yard crew and the relative who checks on the house each their own code. A code can work only on certain days or hours, and you can delete it the day you no longer need it.
Garage door control shows you whether it is open or shut and lets you close it from the app. If it sits open past a time you choose, you get a reminder — or the system can close it for you.
Because the locks sit in the same app as the alarm and the lights, locking the front door can be part of a "leaving" or "bedtime" scene, and unlocking it with your code can disarm the alarm and turn on the entry light.
Lying in bed wondering whether you locked the back door, or halfway to Harlingen wondering about the garage — open the app and see. If something is open, close it from there.
Each person gets their own, and each one can be changed or deleted.
See whether it is open, and close it from anywhere.
A heads-up when a door is unlocked or the garage is left open.
The right lock depends on the door, the frame and who uses it. We look at each one before recommending anything.
Lock and unlock from your phone, and check whether a door is locked.
Codes instead of keys for family, helpers and visitors.
Open, close and check the garage from the app.
Gate control in the same app, where your gate operator allows it.
We will look at each door, the garage opener and any gate, tell you what works with what you have, and put a number on it — no charge, and no pressure to sign anything on the spot.

Most standard doors can take one, but it depends on the door, the frame and the existing deadbolt. We will check each door on the walk-through and tell you honestly if one will not work.
Smart locks run on batteries, and they need changing now and then. Heat can shorten battery life, so a door that bakes in the afternoon sun may need them sooner. We will show you how the lock you choose lets you know, and what the backup way in is if the batteries ever do run flat.
Yes. A code can be limited to certain days and hours, and you can delete it whenever you like. That suits a yard crew, a housekeeper or a guest staying for the weekend.
It depends on the opener. Many work with it, and some older ones need a change. We will look at yours on the walk-through and tell you what it would take.
It can be set to remind you when it has been open past a certain time, or to close at a time you choose, such as bedtime. We will set it up the way you are comfortable with.
Yes. You can see whether every door is locked and whether the garage is shut from the app, and give the neighbor who checks on the house their own code instead of a key.
Sometimes. It depends on your lease and your landlord. Some locks replace only the inside part of the deadbolt, which can make it easier to get permission.
