Residential smart locks NYC service from Lenny Locksmith installs keyless entry systems and configures them with your phone before we leave — covering apartments, brownstones, and houses across New York.
Rapid Response — 24/7 Dispatch — All Five Boroughs
August, Schlage Encode, Yale, Level, and Kwikset
App setup done on site before we leave
WiFi and hub setup included
Works on most NYC apartment and house doors
August fits over existing deadbolts (well-suited for renters and co-ops). Schlage Encode has built-in WiFi. Yale Assure has touchscreen options. Level Lock hides the smart hardware inside the door. We match the lock to your door and lifestyle.
Many NYC co-ops and condos require board approval for exterior hardware. We can advise on smart locks that minimize exterior changes to help with board approval.
Installation is only half the job. Before we leave, the lock is connected to your phone, your WiFi or hub is linked, guest codes are created for the people who need them, auto-lock timing is set, and you have locked and unlocked the door yourself from the app. A smart lock you cannot operate confidently is just an expensive deadbolt.
Dog walkers, cleaners, Airbnb guests, kids who lose keys, deliveries you want to buzz in remotely — these are the reasons New Yorkers go keyless. Temporary and scheduled codes handle all of them, and the activity log shows exactly when the door was used. When a guest leaves or a cleaner moves on, deleting their code takes ten seconds.
Smart locks run 6–12 months on a set of batteries and warn you weeks before they die — through the app and on the lock itself. We set up those alerts during installation, show you the emergency keyway or power contacts every model has, and leave you with the one-page version of what to do if the phone, the WiFi, and the batteries all fail at once.
For NYC hosts, a smart lock ends the key handoff: each guest gets a code that lives only for their stay, cleaners get their own, and the activity log shows every entry. We install host-friendly setups with code scheduling configured on your phone before we leave — and a physical key backup so a dead battery never strands a guest.

Yes, the vast majority of NYC apartments can use a smart lock. Renter-friendly options like August fit over your existing deadbolt without modifying the building's hardware.
In most cases, yes — we recommend smart locks that do not alter the exterior appearance of the door, which is typically acceptable for co-op and condo boards.
The lock keeps working — codes and Bluetooth are stored on the lock itself, and nearly every model keeps a physical keyway as backup. WiFi only affects remote features, not your ability to get in.
For renters, August-style retrofit locks fit over the existing deadbolt with no exterior change. For owners, Schlage Encode and Yale Assure are strong full-replacement options. We match the model to your door, your building's rules, and how you actually use the door.
Yes — scheduled guest codes are the standard host setup. Each guest gets a code valid only for their stay, and the activity log shows every entry. We configure it all on your phone during installation.
