Smart Lock Installation

Smart Lock Installation in Naples, FL
Looking for a smart lock installer who actually knows what they're doing? 239 Smart is owner-operated, holds a separate Business Tax Receipt for locksmith work in Collier County, carries full liability insurance, and installs the same hardware you'll find on the front doors of Port Royal, Mediterra, Talis Park, and Quail West. We don't just bolt on a lock and leave. We install it, configure the app, integrate it with your smart home, and train you (and anyone else who needs access) on exactly how to use it.
We serve Naples, Bonita, Marco, and Estero, with a focus on Collier County's high-end communities including Port Royal, Mediterra, Talis Park, Quail West, Quail Creek, Tiburón, The Strand, Esplanade, Isles of Collier Preserve, Calusa Bay, Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, and Fiddler's Creek.
Why a Locksmith BTR Actually Matters
Here's something most "smart home installers" won't tell you: locksmith work in Collier County requires its own Business Tax Receipt. It is not covered by a general handyman, electrical, or low-voltage BTR. It is a separately registered classification, and most people drilling holes in your front door do not have one.
239 Smart does. We pulled it on purpose, because we take door hardware seriously. A smart lock is not a gadget. It is the primary security device protecting your home, your family, and your belongings. The installer should be allowed to do the job, insured if something goes sideways, and competent enough to align a deadbolt without splitting your $10,000 mahogany front door.
We check all three boxes.

Tru-Lock and Multi-Point Locking System Integration
If you live in Mediterra, Talis Park, Port Royal, or any of Naples' luxury communities, there is a real chance your front door is not a standard residential door. It might be a tall pivot door, an oversized swing door, or a hurricane-rated multi-point system that locks at three or more points along the frame. Tru-Lock is one of the most common systems we see on high-end Naples builds, along with multi-point hardware from Andersen, Marvin, Pella, HOPPE, and other premium door manufacturers.
Most off-the-shelf smart locks do not work on these doors. The installer needs to understand the mechanism, source the right components, and engineer the integration so you keep the full multi-point throw on every cycle. We do this work. Your door still locks at every point, the way it was designed to. You just get to do it with your phone, your code, or your voice.
If you are unsure what you have, send us a photo of your door and the inside thumb-turn. We will tell you exactly what is possible.
Smart Lock Services We Offer
Smart Deadbolt Installation
Replace your traditional deadbolt with a smart deadbolt. The most common install, and the one we do most often. We confirm bore size, backset, door thickness, and strike alignment before the new hardware ever touches your door.
Retrofit Smart Lock Installation
Keep your existing deadbolt and exterior hardware. Add smart functionality on the interior side with models like August. Ideal for rental properties, HOA-restricted communities where exterior hardware changes require approval, and homeowners who don't want to change the look of their door.
Smart Keypad Installation
Touchscreen or push-button keypad entry. Create unique codes for family, cleaners, pool service, AC techs, landscapers, and your property manager. Set schedules so a code only works Tuesdays from 10 to 2. Stop hiding spare keys under planters.
Smart Lever Lock Installation
For interior doors, ADA-accessible entries, and homes with lever-style hardware. We install smart levers and integrate them with the rest of your home automation.
Multi-Lock Installations
Upgrading every exterior door in a 6,000 sq ft home in Quail West? We handle whole-home smart lock packages with consistent control across one app and matching hardware finishes.
Multi-Point and Tru-Lock Integration
Smart control for Tru-Lock, Andersen, Marvin, Pella, HOPPE, and other multi-point locking systems on tall doors, pivot doors, and hurricane-rated entries common in Naples luxury homes. Your door keeps the full multi-point security it was designed for.
Smart Home Integration
Your new lock should not live on an island. We integrate it with your Ring or video doorbell, your security system, your smart lighting, your thermostats, and your routines. A Goodnight scene that locks every door, arms the alarm, turns off the lights, and drops the thermostat? Built in one visit.
App Setup and Hands-On Training
Every install ends the same way. We configure the app on your phone, create your user codes, set up guest access, walk you through every feature, and stay until you can do it yourself. If your housekeeper needs her own code, we set hers up too.
Our Installation Process
1. Consultation
We discuss your security needs, your existing door hardware, your network, and your smart home setup. If you don't have a preference on brand, we recommend one based on what we see.
2. Compatibility Check
We confirm bore diameter (usually 2-1/8"), backset (2-3/8" or 2-3/4"), door thickness, and strike plate alignment. For multi-point doors, we identify the mechanism and confirm the integration path.
3. Professional Installation
We install the lock with proper alignment, secure mounting, and weather stripping where needed. No stripped screws, no cracked finishes, no "well, close enough."
4. Network Connection
We connect the lock to your Wi-Fi, Z-Wave hub, Zigbee hub, or Matter network. If your Wi-Fi signal is weak at the front door (very common in larger Naples homes), we tell you, and we can fix that too.
5. App Setup
Your phone, your codes, your preferences. We add household members, set permission levels, and configure auto-lock timing.
6. Smart Home Integration
We connect the lock to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, Ring, SmartThings, Hubitat, or Home Assistant. We build the routines you actually want.
7. Testing and Training
Every entry method gets tested. Then we train you and anyone else in the home on how to use the lock day-to-day.
Wi-Fi vs Z-Wave vs Zigbee vs Matter: A Quick Honest Guide
Not all smart locks communicate the same way. The wrong choice will frustrate you for years. Here is the short version.
Wi-Fi Smart Locks (Cloud-Based)
Connect directly to your home Wi-Fi. No hub required. Remote access from anywhere with internet. Examples: Schlage Encode, Schlage Encode Plus, August Wi-Fi, Yale Assure 2 with Wi-Fi module.
∙ Best for most homeowners and snowbirds who need remote access
∙ Easiest setup, fewest moving parts
∙ Slightly higher battery drain than other protocols
∙ Depends on stable Wi-Fi at the door (we test this before installing)
Z-Wave and Zigbee Smart Locks
Communicate locally with a smart home hub. Faster response, better battery life, more reliable. Examples: Schlage Connect (Z-Wave), Yale Assure 2 with Z-Wave or Zigbee module, Kwikset SmartCode Z-Wave.
∙ Best for serious smart home setups with SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant, or a Ring Alarm panel
∙ Faster and more reliable than Wi-Fi locks
∙ Works even when the internet is down
∙ Requires a hub (we install and configure those too)
Matter and Thread Smart Locks
The newest protocol. Designed to make every brand work with every ecosystem. Strong battery life, fast response, future-proof. Examples: Aqara U200, Schlage Encode Plus (limited Matter), Level Lock+.
∙ Best for homeowners building a long-term, multi-platform smart home
∙ Works across Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings simultaneously
∙ Requires a Matter controller (HomePod, Apple TV, Google Nest Hub, Echo Hub, etc.)
Bluetooth-Only Smart Locks
Limited to your phone's Bluetooth range. No remote access. Lowest power draw. Examples: original August (without bridge), Level Lock (original, without HomeKit).
∙ Best for renters and minimalists
∙ Maximum privacy, no cloud connection
∙ Not great if you ever need to let someone in while you're not home
Not sure which is right for you? That is what the free consultation is for. Call or text 239-970-9319.
Smart Home Ecosystem Integration
Your smart lock should feel invisible. It should just do what you want, the way you want it. We integrate with every major platform.
∙ Apple Home and Home Key ∙ tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock, control with Siri, build automations in the Home app
∙ Google Home ∙ voice unlock with Voice Match, status checks on Nest Hubs, routine integration
∙ Amazon Alexa ∙ "Alexa, lock the front door," routines, Echo announcements
∙ Ring ∙ unlock from the Ring app when someone is at the doorbell, automation with Ring cameras and Ring Alarm
∙ SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant ∙ deep, custom automations for advanced users
∙ Matter ∙ one lock, every ecosystem at once
Why This Matters for Naples Luxury Communities
Port Royal, Mediterra, Talis Park, Quail West
Tall front doors, multi-point hardware, premium finishes. The wrong installer cracks the wood, misaligns the strike, or screws on a $99 plastic-finished smart lock next to a $40,000 entry. We install models that match the hardware finish and door scale.
Quail Creek, Tiburón, The Strand
Established communities with a mix of original hardware and updated doors. We assess, recommend the right path, and execute it cleanly.
Esplanade, Isles of Collier Preserve, Calusa Bay, Fiddler's Creek
Lifestyle communities with a heavy snowbird and second-home population. Remote access, guest codes for cleaners and contractors, and alerts when someone enters the home. This is exactly what these locks were built for.
Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, Bay Colony
HOA and condo association rules sometimes restrict exterior hardware changes. Retrofit smart locks like August keep your exterior hardware exactly as-is while adding full smart functionality. We know how to navigate this.
Perfect for Snowbirds and Seasonal Residents
If you spend three months a year in Naples and the other nine somewhere cooler, a smart lock is one of the highest-value upgrades you can make. We set this up constantly.
∙ Grant your cleaning service a code that only works on Wednesdays
∙ Let the AC tech in remotely without driving across the state
∙ Receive a notification every time the door opens
∙ Auto-lock so you never wonder if you locked up
∙ Revoke access instantly when a service provider is no longer authorized
∙ Pair with our 239 Smart Private Property Watch service for full peace of mind while you're away
Smart Lock Features and Benefits
Keyless Convenience. Hands full of groceries, golf clubs, or pickleball gear? Unlock with a code, your phone, or your face. Done.
Remote Access. Lock or unlock from anywhere with internet. Useful when you're already in the car halfway down Vanderbilt Beach Road.
Guest Access and Scheduling. Codes that work only on specific days, at specific times, or only for one use. No more hidden keys.
Activity Monitoring. Every lock event is logged. You know exactly when someone came or went.
Auto-Lock. Set the lock to auto-engage after 30 seconds, two minutes, or whatever you choose. You will stop forgetting.
Tamper Alerts. Get notified if someone tries to force the lock, enters the wrong code repeatedly, or removes the keypad.
Backup Access. Most smart locks include a physical key cylinder as backup. Dead battery? Keypad failure? You still get in.
Built for Florida
Smart locks installed in Southwest Florida need to handle humidity, salt air, summer heat, and the door movement that comes with temperature swings. We install weather-rated hardware, apply weather stripping correctly, and align strikes with seasonal expansion in mind. A lock that worked perfectly in March should not bind in August. We make sure it doesn't.
Smart Lock Security
A properly installed smart lock from a reputable brand is as secure as, or more secure than, a traditional lock.
∙ End-to-end encrypted communication
∙ Two-factor authentication on the app
∙ Full activity logs
∙ Auto-lock removes human error
∙ Tamper detection and alerts
∙ Backup physical keys for most models
∙ Bank-level security on the major platforms
The weakest link in most smart lock installations is the installer, not the lock. We are the installer.
Pricing
Smart lock installation pricing depends on the model you choose, the door it's going on, and the integration work needed. Most standard deadbolt installs are completed in 45 to 60 minutes per lock, including app setup and training. Multi-lock and whole-home packages are priced as a bundle.
We quote in writing before any work begins. No surprises, no upsells once we're in the door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really need a separate license to install smart locks?
For locksmith work in the City of Naples, yes. It is a separately registered Business Tax Receipt classification. A handyman BTR or low-voltage license does not cover it. 239 Smart holds the locksmith BTR. Most installers do not.
Are you insured?
Yes. 239 Smart carries full liability insurance. Certificates available on request.
What happens if my Wi-Fi goes down?
Almost every smart lock has multiple backup methods. You can use a keypad code, Bluetooth from your phone if you're within range, or a physical key. You lose remote access, but the lock keeps working.
How long do the batteries last?
Six to twelve months for most models on standard AA or CR123 batteries. The app warns you well before they die.
Can I still use a regular key?
Almost always. Most smart locks include a physical key cylinder. Level Lock keeps your existing key cylinder entirely.
Will a smart lock work on my front door?
Most standard residential doors accept smart locks with no modification. Bore diameter, backset, and door thickness all matter. If your door is a tall pivot door, oversized entry, or multi-point Tru-Lock system, we have integration paths for those too. Send us a photo and we will tell you what is possible.
Can smart locks be hacked?
Quality smart locks from reputable brands use bank-level encryption. The realistic threat to your home is not someone hacking your Schlage Encode. It is someone kicking your door in or finding your hidden key. Smart locks are safer than the alternative for both of those scenarios.
Do I need a smart home hub?
Not for Wi-Fi locks. Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter-based locks need a hub or controller. We will tell you exactly what you need before you spend a dollar.
Can you install smart locks on rental properties?
Yes. Retrofit models like August install over your existing deadbolt with no exterior changes. Perfect for rentals, condos, and HOA-restricted communities.
Can you integrate a smart lock with my existing Tru-Lock multi-point door?
Yes, in most cases. Tru-Lock is one of the most common multi-point systems we work on, along with Andersen, Marvin, Pella, HOPPE, and other premium door brands. We assess the mechanism, identify the right integration path, and execute the install so your door keeps locking at every point. Send a photo of the door and the interior thumb-turn for a fast preliminary answer.
Do you train us on how to use it?
Every install ends with hands-on training. App walkthrough, user codes, guest access, automations, and any questions you have. We do not leave until you can run it yourself.
