Smart locks are compatible with both deadbolt locks and latch-style locks. While deadbolt-style installations are a hair more straightforward, latch-style door locks may require a few additional steps. For instance, you’ll need to take a little extra time to attach the handle to the smart lock enclosure and ensure that the handle turns properly with your door’s alignment when installing a latch-style smart lock.
Otherwise, most doors that feature boreholes for common analog locksets are widely compatible with smart locks. Smart locks don’t just make front, back and side doors safer at home. They can also make garage doors, security doors and — in some cases — even windows safer with secure locks that give homeowners more control, as well as features like motion sensing and remote video playback.
