Smart Lock Installation in Thousand Oaks & Moorpark, CA
No more hiding a key under the mat, worrying whether you locked up, or making copies for every family member. We install and configure smart locks that give you full control over every entry point in your home — from your phone, a keypad, or your voice. Professionally installed and integrated with the rest of your smart home system.
What Is a Smart Lock?
A smart lock replaces your existing deadbolt with a keypad, app-controlled, or fingerprint-enabled lock — without changing your door or frame. You keep a physical key as a backup, but you'll rarely need it.
The difference between a consumer smart lock from a hardware store and a professionally installed one comes down to configuration. Most people install the hardware but never set up auto-lock schedules, integrate it with their doorbell camera, or configure it to work with their security system. We handle all of that — the lock is fully functional from day one, integrated with your existing smart home devices, and tested before we leave.
We install Schlage Encode and Yale Assure — two of the most reliable smart lock platforms available, used widely across Ventura County homes from Moorpark to Westlake Village.
What We Install & Configure
Every smart lock install includes hardware, full configuration, integration with your existing devices, and a walkthrough before we leave.
Keypad Smart Deadbolts
Replace your existing deadbolt with a keypad lock — no key required for daily use. Enter a PIN, tap the app, or use your voice. Physical key backup included. Works with your existing door hardware and frame.
Temporary Access Codes
Create unique PIN codes for housekeepers, contractors, dog walkers, or guests — each with its own schedule and expiration. Revoke any code instantly from your phone. No more making copies or changing locks when access needs to change.
Auto-Lock Scheduling
Set your lock to automatically engage at a specific time each night — or after a set number of minutes. Never wonder if you locked up before bed. Get a notification if the door is left unlocked past a time you define.
Remote Lock & Unlock
Lock or unlock your door from anywhere — let in a family member who forgot their key, secure the house after you've left, or check the status of every entry point from one app. Works over WiFi from any location.
Real-Time Entry Alerts
Get a push notification every time a door is locked, unlocked, or a specific code is used. Know when your kids get home from school, when the housekeeper arrives, or if an entry code is used unexpectedly — all in real time.
Smart Home Integration
Your lock integrates with your doorbell camera, security system, lighting, and voice assistants. Trigger a "Goodnight" scene that locks every door, arms your cameras, and turns off the lights — all with one tap or voice command.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Single flat rate per job — no hourly billing, no surprise add-ons. The price you approve before we start is the price you pay.
Smart Lock Only
One smart lock installed, configured, and integrated. Includes app setup, auto-lock scheduling, and up to 4 custom access codes.
Doorbell + Lock Combo
Smart lock plus a Ring or Google Nest doorbell — installed and integrated together. See who's at the door and control access from one app.
Complete Security Package

Why a Smart Lock Is Worth It
Smart locks solve real problems most homeowners deal with daily — and the convenience compounds over time.
-
01
Never Wonder If You Locked Up Again
Check your lock status from anywhere in the app. If it's unlocked, lock it remotely. Set auto-lock to engage every night at 10 PM so it's never a question. The mental overhead of "did I lock the door?" disappears completely.
-
02
Access Control Without Key Copies
Give every person who needs access their own unique code with its own schedule. The housekeeper's code works Tuesday mornings only. The contractor's code expires when the job is done. No locksmith required when access needs to change — just delete or edit the code in the app.
-
03
Know Who's Coming and Going
Every entry and exit is logged with a timestamp and the code used. You'll know when your kids got home, when a delivery was made, and if any code is used outside its expected time window — all in real time on your phone.
-
04
Works as Part of Your Whole Home System
Your lock integrates with your doorbell camera so you can see who's at the door and unlock it from the same app. Tie it into a "Leaving Home" scene and your lock, lights, and thermostat all respond together. One tap — everything secured.
-
05
Works Without the Internet
Both Schlage Encode and Yale Assure support local keypad entry even if your WiFi or internet goes down. Physical key backup is always included. A power or internet outage never locks you out of your own home.
How Our Smart Lock Install Works
Most single-lock installs are completed in under two hours. Multi-door jobs typically done in a half day.
Free In-Home Consultation
Cody assesses your door hardware, confirms compatibility, and recommends Schlage or Yale based on your door prep and preferences. If you're bundling with a doorbell or security system, we scope that together. Flat-rate quote provided — no obligation.
Proposal & Scheduling
You receive a written flat-rate proposal. Approve it and we schedule the install — usually within one to two weeks. Most lock installs are completed in a single morning or afternoon visit.
Professional Installation & Configuration
Cody installs the lock, connects it to your WiFi, configures auto-lock scheduling, sets up access codes, and integrates it with your existing smart home devices. Everything is tested before the job is done.
App Setup & Walkthrough
We set up the app on every family member's phone, walk through how to add and remove codes, and show you how entry alerts work. The system is fully usable — not just installed — before we leave.

"It Just Works" Guarantee
If your lock doesn't function exactly as designed at install, we come back and fix it at no cost — no service fees, no exceptions.

If anyone in your household isn't confident using the lock or the app, we return for hands-on training at no charge — as many times as needed.
Future-Ready Guarantee
Add locks to additional doors, integrate with a new doorbell or security system, or expand your smart home any time — without rebuilding from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a smart lock work with my existing door?
In most cases yes. Schlage Encode and Yale Assure replace standard single-cylinder deadbolts, which is what most homes in Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, and the surrounding area have. We confirm compatibility at the free consultation before recommending anything. If your door has a non-standard prep or requires a different configuration, we'll tell you upfront.
What happens if the WiFi or power goes out?
Both Schlage Encode and Yale Assure support local keypad entry regardless of your internet connection. Your stored PIN codes continue to work without WiFi. A physical key backup is always included and works independently. If the batteries die, both locks have an emergency 9V power contact on the exterior so you can temporarily power the lock to enter.
How many access codes can I create?
Schlage Encode supports up to 100 unique access codes; Yale Assure supports up to 250. Each code can have its own schedule, expiration, and notification settings. You can add, edit, or delete codes from the app at any time without touching the lock.
Can I install smart locks on multiple doors?
Yes. We install on front doors, back doors, garage entry doors, and side gates. Multiple locks on the same job are priced per-lock at the same flat rate. Managing them all from one app is part of the setup — you get a single view of every entry point in your home.
Will it work with my Ring doorbell or security cameras?
Yes. Both Schlage and Yale integrate with Ring, Google Nest, and most major smart home platforms via Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. We configure the integration during the install so your lock and doorbell work together — see who's at the door and unlock it from the same app without switching platforms.
How is this different from just buying a lock at Home Depot?
The hardware is often the same — the difference is configuration. Most homeowners who self-install never set up auto-lock, access code schedules, entry alerts, or integration with their other devices. We handle all of that during the install, so the lock is actually doing what it's capable of from day one. We also verify proper installation so the lock engages cleanly every time and doesn't wear out the door hardware prematurely.
Do you serve areas outside Thousand Oaks and Moorpark?
Yes — we serve all of Ventura County with no trip fee. That includes Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, Camarillo, Simi Valley, and Ventura. Visit our Areas We Serve page for the full list.
