Door prepared for a smart lock in Botany Downs

The door needed accurate preparation

This Botany Downs entry door was being upgraded for keyless access. Unlike a simple handle swap, a smart lock needs the spindle, fixing bolts and lock body to line up precisely through the door profile.

Setting up the new lock footprint

We confirmed the backset and door thickness, marked the fixing points and drilled clean openings without damaging the surrounding finish. The preparation was checked against the chosen lock before final assembly and commissioning.

Choosing smart locks for New Zealand doors

Common options in New Zealand include Lockwood, Yale and Schlage, but compatibility depends on the existing mortice, door material and clearance. Checking those details first avoids an oversized unit or unnecessary holes in the door.
