Smart Door Lock Installations
Make sure that your locks meet British Standards with the help of Lock & Key York, experts in locksmithing and home security. We can install, manage, and maintain any smart locks you have or wish to have, with no callout fees charged for our security audits and assistance!
Smart Locks: Enhancing Security and Convenience for Your Home and Business
British Standard locks do provide you with excellent and robust security, enough to scare off most criminals thinking about trying their luck. With smart locks, though, you take the standard of your security to a whole new level, removing most typical break-in methods from the table of potential opportunity for criminals.
What are Smart Locks?
While it might surprise you, the vast majority of break-ins in York start by someone coming through your front or back doors. They target these doors, especially if they seem to lack modern security installations. With your doors secured via smart locks, though, almost every commonly used break-in method will fail and thus make criminals think twice about trying your property again.

What are the Benefits of Smart Locks?
Smart locks provide you with a great many benefits, all of which make your property more secure and less of a potential target, such as:
Enhanced Security
Renowned for their ability to make break-ins almost impossible, smart locks provide you with protection via:
- Encryption Technology:
Encryption means that third-party tampering by criminals is a near impossibility. - Auto-Locking:
Locks can be set to automatically lock at set intervals so you can avoid doors left unlocked. - Tamper Alerts:
Has someone tried to mess with your locks? Get an immediate alert so you can take action. - Audit Trails:
Create a clear list of who enters and leaves your properties with informative, automated logging.
Keyless Entry
Keys are becoming a thing of the past in many households in York, thanks to smart locks. Whilst most still have a physical override in the case of an emergency, you can open your smart locks with various modern alternatives such as:
- Smartphone/mobile device applications
- RFID cards and bespoke keyfobs
- Fingerprint scanners and biometrics
- Keypad code entry
Remote Access and Control
Smart locks can also be managed from afar, which means you can manage your locks even when you are at work, out of the country, or busy elsewhere in York.
- Ensuring your property is secure after leaving home
- Allowing access to guests while you’re away
- Providing temporary access for cleaners or contractors without them requiring a physical key
Access Control
You also have the ability to quickly create and revoke access to your smart locks in York simply by managing access codes.
- Creating unique and permanent codes for full-time residents in your building
- Create one-time codes for professional service providers assisting you
- Allow temporary access to those permitted when you wish
Smart Security Integration
With the smart locks that we install for you at Lock & Key York, you can easily pair them up with other smart systems you use, i.e. Amazon Alexa. That makes it much easier to have all of your tech working in harmony with one another.
Emergency Access Solutions
Of course, what if your power cuts out or your smartphone app fails? With smart locks installed by us, you can use emergency overrides.
- Mechanical key overrides
- Emergency power ports for easy portable connections
- Anti-lockout features so you can overcome tech issues
We have thought of everything when it comes to protecting your property and making sure your access to your building is always easier, never harder. If you have any worries about smart locks, we have already found a solution!

Do you have a locksmith near me in York?
Yes, all our locksmiths are 100% local to your area in York and employed directly by us! That is why our experts can arrive at your location ASAP whenever you need emergency services.
How quickly can a locksmith arrive at my location?
The typical response time will be 30 to 60 minutes in case of emergencies. That’s because our locksmiths are all York locals who can easily be at your doorsteps at any given time.
Are your locksmiths certified and insured?
Yes, our locksmiths are insured, certified, accredited, qualified, and highly experienced. They are all fully vetted, background-checked, and okayed by the DBS. So, you can trust us to secure your property.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes! Here at Lock & Key York, it’s our number one priority to ensure our customers’ satisfaction. Which is why we only use high-quality locks and equipment with a guarantee.

All completely free of charge!
What should I do while waiting for the locksmith to arrive?
We know that waiting for a locksmith to arrive at your location can be a bit exhausting. But please avoid trying to fix the door lock by yourself. Instead, you should wait patiently for the professional to arrive at your location, and stay accessible via phone. Once the locksmith arrives, they’ll take care of everything.
How long will it take for the locksmith to gain entry?
It depends on what sort of locks you have on your property. Standard Yale, Euro Cylinder, rim-cylinder locks, and other lock types will take a few minutes, and you’ll gain access to your property. Complex locking mechanisms, however, are harder to break, and may take more time.
How much time does a locksmith take to change a lock?
Our locksmiths usually take 30 minutes to replace your door locks and then make the necessary adjustments. However, this timeline can vary based on various factors, such as the type of door/lock you have (is it uPVC, garage, patio, or conservatory?) as well as how many locks you want us to replace. It’s better if you ask this question to our locksmith once they arrive at your location. They can give you a better answer.
What kind of locksmith services do you offer?
We offer a wide range of locksmithing services, such as burglary repairs, uPVC door and lock repairs, lock and key replacements, free home security checks, and much more.
Do you provide services after hours or during weekends?
Yes, we provide our essential emergency services beyond normal work hours, and even during weekends. We realise that emergencies rarely arrive announced. That is why our local locksmiths in York can help you get back inside and feel secure ASAP.
Can the locksmith provide a quote beforehand?
Yes, we can provide you with a quote even before taking on the job. This way, you’ll know what you’re paying us for! We will ask relevant questions and assess the situation by using photos. It will help us realise how much it’s fair to charge.
How much Is a locksmith call out charge?
We don’t have a call-out fee here at Lock & Key York. We only bill you for a service that we provide based on your unique situation. We value honesty & transparency. Also, you don’t pay us a hidden fee or something.
How can I pay for the work carried out?
Payments can be easily made in cash or via all major debit and credit cards.
How much does it cost to change my locks and keys?
The cost of making lock and key replacements can vary based on the type, number, and the nature of locks/keys that you want us to change. However, please refer to our general price guide to get a rough idea. But it’s better to get in touch with our locksmiths to get a more accurate quote.
