Smart Lock Installation Burnaby

Burnaby · BC
Smart locks.Properly fitted.

We supply and install Wi-Fi, keypad, and Bluetooth smart locks at Burnaby homes and businesses — hardware from brands that last, fitted by a licensed locksmith who'll make sure the door operates correctly before leaving.

If you need a deadbolt swapped for a smart lock anywhere in Burnaby — a high-rise near Metrotown, a townhouse complex in Brentwood, a detached home in Burnaby Heights, or a commercial unit along Kingsway — we can handle it the same day. We bring the hardware or install what you've already purchased, align the door, program the codes, connect the lock to your network if needed, and walk you through the app before we leave. The lock works properly when we're done — that's the only standard we hold ourselves to.

What's included in a smart lock installation.

Every installation covers the full scope — no extra charge for the things that make the lock actually work reliably:

  • Door assessment: frame alignment, backset measurement, existing bore condition
  • Supply of a quality smart lock (if needed — we carry a curated range)
  • Removal of the old deadbolt or knobset
  • Installation and mechanical alignment — door must latch and lock cleanly
  • Programming of user codes and owner/admin PIN
  • Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing to your home network or hub (where applicable)
  • App walkthrough — access codes, auto-lock timers, notification settings
  • Battery check and guidance on low-battery warnings
  • Cleanup and disposal of old hardware

How a smart lock installation works.

01

Call or book online

Tell us what you have or what you want, and we'll confirm the scope, give you a price range, and schedule a same-day or next-day slot. For urgent work, same-day is almost always available across Burnaby.

02

We arrive and assess the door

The technician checks door frame alignment, existing bore size, and the condition of the strike plate. A door that doesn't close squarely will cause problems with any lock — we correct that first so the smart lock operates reliably for years.

03

Install, program, and hand over

Lock goes in mechanically, then we handle the digital side: user codes, auto-lock timers, and app pairing. We don't leave until you can lock and unlock the door from your phone and from the keypad without any issues.

Wi-Fi vs Bluetooth vs keypad — what suits a Burnaby home?

Burnaby's housing stock is more varied than people expect — concrete highrise towers clustered around Metrotown and Brentwood Town Centre, older stucco apartment buildings along Kingsway, post-war detached homes in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill, and newer strata townhouse complexes near Lougheed and Edmonds. The right lock type depends on the door and what you actually need.

Keypad deadbolts are the most reliable option for older Burnaby houses with thick plaster walls or long hallways where Wi-Fi signal is weak near the front door. They run for 12–18 months on standard AA batteries and operate completely offline — no app, no internet dependency. Common in detached homes in Willingdon Heights, Government Road, and South Slope, where entry is a front door far from the router.

Wi-Fi smart locks are ideal if you want remote access from your phone, entry notifications, and temporary codes for guests or service workers. Battery life is slightly shorter but the convenience is real. These work well in Burnaby's newer highrise and strata units where the router is typically close to the front door — the concrete towers around Metrotown and Brentwood are well-suited to this setup.

Bluetooth-only locks offer auto-unlock as you approach and no cloud dependency, which suits privacy-conscious homeowners. They require a hub for remote access but work solidly in detached and townhouse settings across Deer Lake, Buckingham, and Cariboo, where the hub can sit near the entry.

Smart locks in Burnaby strata and condo buildings.

Burnaby has one of the highest concentrations of strata-titled properties in Metro Vancouver — from the glass towers at Brentwood and Metrotown to the low-rise complexes scattered across every neighbourhood. Before choosing a smart lock, check your strata bylaws. Many Burnaby stratas allow smart lock upgrades as long as the replacement meets fire-code hardware requirements and doesn't alter the exterior escutcheon or door face. We carry hardware that satisfies common strata restrictions and can provide the lock's certifications if your strata manager requests them. For BCIT staff housing and rental properties near SFU Burnaby Mountain, a keypad lock is often the most practical option — reset the code when occupants change, no rekeying required.

Frequently asked questions about smart lock installation.

Can you install a smart lock on my existing door without drilling new holes?
In most cases, yes. Most smart deadbolts replace a standard deadbolt using the existing 2⅛-inch bore and backset. We measure first — if your door has a non-standard bore or a damaged frame, we'll tell you before we start and offer a door prep add-on or a different lock model as options.
Which smart lock brands do you carry?
We stock a curated selection from established brands — Yale, Schlage, and a couple of others we've found reliable in Burnaby's climate. We don't carry every brand; we carry the ones we'd put on our own doors. If you've already bought a specific lock, we'll install it — most standard smart deadbolts are straightforward to fit.
How long does installation take?
A single smart deadbolt swap with no door prep typically takes 45–60 minutes. If the door needs frame work or a strike plate reinforcement, allow 90 minutes. We don't rush the alignment — a deadbolt that binds slightly will wear out the motor on a smart lock faster than anything else.
Do I need an electrician for a smart lock?
No. Every smart lock we install is battery-powered — no wiring to your home's electrical system. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios run off AA or lithium batteries included with the lock. Setup is purely mechanical installation plus app pairing, which is entirely within locksmith scope.
What happens if the battery dies — am I locked out?
Good smart locks give you a low-battery warning — push notifications and a flashing LED — well before they fail, typically weeks in advance. If you're caught out, virtually all smart deadbolts also have a physical key override. We always confirm your lock has a key cylinder and give you two keys when we leave.
Can you install smart locks on both a front door and a side entry in one visit?
Yes, and it's usually more efficient to do multiple doors in one visit. We offer a bundle price when you're doing two or more locks at the same Burnaby address — call ahead and we'll quote the whole job as one, not two callout fees.
