Smart locks are the next step after a video doorbell, but the install is where many DIY attempts go wrong. A lock fitted even a little out of alignment can wear through batteries and jam on the coldest night of the year. WOW Locks installs and configures smart locks across Austin, from South Congress short-term rentals that need guest codes to Domain-area homes where the owner wants the front door in the Apple Home app. Every smart lock job is a custom quote after we see the door.

Short-term rental, guest code management
An owner running several rental units wants a unique guest code for each reservation, with no lockbox and no key handoff. The technician installs smart locks, sets up the app with individual codes, sets an auto-lock, and tests remote access from the owner's phone. The work is a custom quote after we see the doors.
-
New construction, Apple Home buyer
A buyer in a new condo wants the front door in the Apple Home app before move-in. A lock with Apple Home Key is chosen, installed on the existing bore, and set up with the Home app and backup keypad codes. The dispatcher confirms the model supports what you want before you buy.
-
Rental, remote access for maintenance
A property manager needs contractor access without cutting keys for everyone. A retrofit smart lock goes over the existing deadbolt, so time-limited codes can be issued for a visit and removed afterward, with no change to the outside of the door.

How We Save Your Day
The Hero Protocol
- Step 1
Call with door type and smart home system
Tell us the door, whether a bore hole already exists, and which system you use (Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home or a standalone keypad). Describe the door and the model, and ask the dispatcher how to send a photo.
- Step 2
Hardware confirmed and technician dispatched
If you supply the lock, the technician arrives ready to install. If we supply it, the hardware is confirmed on the call and brought on the first visit.
- Step 3
Mechanical installation and alignment
The smart lock is installed to the manufacturer's specification, and door alignment is checked so the lock does not bind or burn through batteries.
- Step 4
App pairing, code setup and handoff
The lock is paired to your app, any bridge is connected, access codes and the auto-lock are set, and everything is tested before the technician leaves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a locksmith install a smart lock I bought online?
Yes. WOW Locks installs smart locks you supply or quotes one on the call. Send the model and a description of the door, and ask the dispatcher how to send a photo, because the door prep and the setup change the quote. The quote comes before a technician is dispatched.
How much does smart lock installation cost in Austin?
Smart lock installation is a custom quote because it depends on the lock, the door and the setup. Call, describe the door and the model, and the dispatcher quotes the work before anyone is dispatched. Tax is additional.
Will a smart lock fit my existing door?
Most standard residential doors can take one, but the bore, the latch and the door thickness matter. The dispatcher checks these from your description or photos, and the technician confirms on site before starting.
What happens if a smart lock loses power or Wi-Fi?
Losing Wi-Fi usually stops only remote features such as app control away from home, while the keypad or key still works at the door. A dead battery is different, so check for a backup key or external battery terminal on your model, and change batteries when the low-battery warning appears.
Can you set up access codes and my phone during installation?
Yes. Setting up user codes, the app and your home system is part of a smart lock job. Say which system you use, such as HomeKit, Alexa or Google Home, when you call so the dispatcher can confirm the lock supports it.
Which smart lock brands do you install?
WOW Locks installs August, Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo and Ultraloq models. Which one fits depends on your door, how you want to unlock it and which home system you use, and the dispatcher helps you choose before you buy.
Is WOW Locks licensed to do this work in Texas?
Yes. WOW Locks LLC holds Texas DPS (TOPS) license B10595301, which you can verify on the Texas DPS TOPS portal before anyone arrives. The company is also insured and bonded.

Austin, TX
Exceptional customer service! I found myself in an embarrassing/unfortunate situation in which I was locked out of both my vehicle AND my home. Miguel responded quickly and in the short time frame of his commute over to my home, a fellow neighbor was able to help me get back in. Even after I let Miguel know, he still stopped by to make sure everything was good. That alone speaks to the level of care this team brings.
