What We Offer

PIN Genie

Supported touchscreens change number positions to make casual observation harder; this is not an absolute secrecy guarantee.

Fingerprint access

Sensor type and capacity depend on the model; enroll and test a backup method.

Offline codes

Supported codes can work without a live lock connection, but creation, expiration, and revocation follow model rules.

Format selection

A Flex Touch Pro retrofit differs from complete Secure or Vision locksets.

Lockly Setup in Washington DC

Choose Lockly by its full model name. A fingerprint deadbolt, a video lock, and an interior retrofit need different door preparation and accessories. Do not transfer the specifications of a Secure Pro or Vision product to the entire lineup.

Plan guest access carefully

PIN Genie changes the displayed number positions on supported models. Offline Access Codes can also be useful where network coverage is limited. Their activation, expiration, and revocation rules need to be understood before issuing them to a guest. Consult the Lockly support FAQs for the selected product.

A lock event reports use of a credential, not positive identification of every person entering. Fingerprint technology is also not a guarantee against spoofing or failed recognition. Keep another authorized entry method available.

Fit and handover

Check clearance near the handle and trim, the door thickness and bore, and the space needed for a fingerprint reader or camera. Test the bolt with the door open and closed. Confirm any required Wi-Fi hub and place it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Keep administrator access with the homeowner and review smart-lock setup before enabling automatic locking.

Hardware Comparison

Rekeying and Replacement: Different Decisions

Question	Rekey Existing Hardware	Replace Hardware
Main purpose	Change which key operates a compatible cylinder	Change the lock, its condition, or its function
Existing condition	Lock and door should be working properly	Assess wear, damage, fit, and needed repairs
Compatibility	Depends on the cylinder and key system	Depends on door preparation and selected model
Exit operation	Confirm the current inside operation remains suitable	Confirm the proposed function and applicable exit requirements

Select hardware for the actual opening. A key-operated inside lock can restrict exit and needs particular care; do not assume a glass panel makes it appropriate.

Common Questions

Lockly Smart Lock Installation in Washington DC FAQs

Does PIN Genie make a PIN impossible to observe?

No. Shuffling the display can reduce simple position-based observation, but users should still shield codes and avoid sharing them.

Is every Flex model an interior retrofit?

No. Identify the complete product name. Flex Touch Pro is a specific retrofit product; other similarly named products can replace the lockset.

Can an offline access code be revoked remotely?

Follow the exact model procedure. An offline lock cannot receive a normal immediate online deletion command; test how revocation or replacement codes take effect.

What information helps when booking residential locksmith work?

Describe the door and lock, the problem, the Washington DC address, and whether access is affected now. Photos of visible hardware can help identify the next step.

Should I rekey or replace a lock?

Rekeying may suit a compatible lock that works properly when the aim is to change who has a key. Damage, wear, incompatible hardware, or a different function may make replacement more appropriate.

What should I check before buying a replacement lock?

Check the door thickness, existing preparation, lock function, and the manufacturer’s installation requirements. Shared entrances and rental properties may also have owner or building requirements.

Can an arrival time or full price be confirmed from a photo?

A photo can clarify visible hardware, but it may not show internal damage or door and frame conditions. Ask whether an assessment is needed, what it costs, and how the final scope and price will be approved.

What if I am locked out right now?

Call (202) 830-0706 to explain the location and check current availability. If anyone is in immediate danger or there is a medical emergency, call 911 first.

What authorization should I prepare?

Have identification and evidence that you own, occupy, or manage the property. For a shared or rental building, involve the person authorized to approve the work.

Before Work Starts on Your Home

Confirm who may authorize the work, which doors are included, and whether existing keys should stop working. Keep a written record of the hardware and keys supplied.
