Frequently Asked Questions About Our Smart Lock Installations

Do smart locks work during a power outage?
Yes. Most smart and electronic locks are battery-powered, so they keep working during outages. Hardwired access systems include backup batteries or use fail-safe hardware to maintain safe exit and code compliance.
Are electronic locks as secure as traditional locks?
When installed correctly, electronic locks can be even more secure: no key copying risk, user-by-user codes, audit trails, and integrations with alarms/cameras for real-time alerts.
Can I still use a key with a smart lock?
Yes. Most quality smart locks include a keyed override. We recommend models that retain mechanical key access and provide low-battery alerts.
Do maglocks and electric strikes meet fire code?
Yes—when designed and installed to code. We use proper request-to-exit (REX) devices, power supplies, egress hardware, and signage so your system meets local fire and life-safety requirements.
What’s the difference between maglocks and electric strikes?
Maglocks secure door-to-frame with an electromagnet—great for glass and specialty doors. Electric strikes replace the strike in the frame and allow free egress with the existing handle/lever hardware.
Can I manage access remotely (phones, apps, web)?
Yes. Many systems let you add/remove users, set schedules, and view logs from iOS/Android or a web dashboard—ideal for property managers, STRs, and multi-site businesses.
Are biometric readers reliable in Colorado’s cold?
We specify weather-rated readers (heated sensors, sealed housings, IR cameras) that perform in mountain climates. We can pair biometrics with PIN/card as a backup for peak reliability.
Can electronic locks integrate with my alarm or cameras?
In many cases, yes. We design systems that share events (door opened/forced), trigger recordings, and send notifications, depending on platform compatibility.
What maintenance do electronic locks and access systems need?
Annual service: battery checks, wiring/power verification, firmware updates, reader cleaning, and door alignment. Regular maintenance prevents downtime and extends equipment life.
