What are smart locks?
Smart locks are modern locking systems that enable you to control access without the need for a traditional key. Depending on the model, they can be unlocked using a PIN code, Bluetooth, fingerprint, key card, or smartphone app, and many also integrate with systems like Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or Ring.
Some smart locks still include a keyhole for backup access, while others are fully keyless. Most are battery powered, with alerts for low battery or tampering. For residential properties, including those with Airbnb and short-term rental hosts, smart locks provide hassle-free guest access and temporary codes. For commercial properties, they provide audit trails and access control across multiple users or areas.

Frequently asked questions about smart locks
empty
What is a smart lock and how does it work?
A smart lock is a modern locking device that lets you control access without a traditional key. Depending on the model, you can unlock your door using a PIN code, fingerprint, mobile app, access card, or even voice command via smart home systems like Google Assistant or Alexa. Many smart locks also allow you to manage access remotely for example, you can let a guest in while you’re away or monitor who has entered and when.
Some models still include a keyhole as a backup, while others are fully keyless. They’re powered by batteries, and many have alerts for low battery or tampering. Installation must match your door type, use case, and compliance requirements which is why expert advice is essential.
Can smart locks be installed on any type of door?
Most smart locks are designed to suit standard timber or aluminium doors, but not all are compatible with every door type. Fire-rated, glass, and heritage doors may require specific models or additional components to comply with building codes.
Fleurieu Locksmith will assess your existing door, frame, and lock hardware to recommend the most suitable product for your needs. It ensures the smart lock works properly, meets safety and accessibility requirements, and avoids damage to the door during installation.
What are the best smart locks for Airbnb or short-stay rentals?
For Airbnb and short-stay properties, smart locks with keyless PIN entry, remote management, and temporary code generation are ideal. Brands like Yale, Eufy, Schlage, and Lockly offer models that allow you to create time-limited access codes for each guest without needing to meet them in person or worry about lost keys.
We also install double-sided gate smart locks, fire-rated models for apartments, and smart locks that integrate with booking systems or smart home hubs. These features help automate check-ins, improve guest experience, and boost security.
Can smart locks be used on gates or outdoor doors?
Yes, many smart locks are weather-resistant and designed for external gates, sheds, and garages. These models often have IP ratings that ensure protection against rain, dust, and exposure to sunlight.
For side or front gates, we recommend double-sided smart locks, which prevent someone from reaching over or through the gate to open it from the inside. It’s beneficial for properties with pets, children, or back-lane access.
We’ll help you choose a model that’s suitable for outdoor use and install it to ensure durability and security.
Do smart locks work with Google Home, Ring, or other smart systems?
Many smart locks now integrate with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Ring. It means you can unlock your door via voice control or a smartphone app, receive notifications when the door is accessed, or connect your smart lock to other devices, such as security cameras or alarm systems.
Compatibility varies between models, so we’ll guide you through options that meet your goals. If your priority is smart home integration, we recommend brands such as Yale, Schlage, Lockly, and Eufy, which offer excellent support for these platforms.
Are smart locks secure?
Yes, when properly installed and used, smart locks are very secure. Most reputable brands use encryption technology and tamper-resistant components. Some are rated to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, which is the highest level of residential security.
For added peace of mind, many models have auto-lock, tamper alerts, and log tracking to record who accessed the door and when. If you still want a traditional backup, hybrid models with a mechanical key override are available.
We only install products from trusted brands and provide expert advice to match the right lock to your security needs and building type.
What happens if the battery dies or something goes wrong?
Most smart locks are designed to alert you in advance when batteries are running low. Battery life can range from 6 months to 1 year, depending on usage.
If the battery runs out completely, some locks have emergency power options (e.g., using a 9V battery to power the lock temporarily) or come with a key override. We show you how to manage your smart lock, including replacing batteries and troubleshooting fundamental issues.
