What august smart lock installation actually involves in Delray Beach

August is the smart lock you choose when you don't want to replace your existing deadbolt. The 4th-generation August Wi-Fi Smart Lock and the newer August View both retrofit onto the inside of an existing deadbolt - the outside of your door keeps your original hardware (cylinder, key option, brand finish), the inside gets the August unit that turns the thumb-turn electronically. Your existing keys still work as a fallback. Premier Locksmith Delray Beach has installed 100+ Augusts across Delray and we tell every customer the same thing: this is the right smart lock for homeowners who want phone control without changing how the front door looks from the curb.

Installation is fast - 45 - 75 minutes for a standard install, including Wi-Fi setup and verification on the homeowner's phone. We support all major existing deadbolts (Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Emtek - the August retrofit fits 95% of standard residential deadbolts). For non-compatible deadbolts (typically older or proprietary brands) we recommend a quick cylinder swap to a compatible Schlage or Yale before the August install. Standard install on a compatible deadbolt is $185 - $285; install with cylinder pre-swap runs $285 - $485 total.

What August does well: auto-unlock as you approach (Bluetooth proximity detection - the door unlocks when you reach the porch with your phone in your pocket), shareable guest access with time limits (rotating codes for housekeepers, contractors, dog walkers), and the August View adds a 1080p video doorbell-style camera with package detection. What it doesn't do well: extreme weather (the 4th gen has improved here but we still recommend cabin-style or covered porches for the most reliable Bluetooth handshake), and reliable performance with weak home Wi-Fi (you want -65 dBm or better signal at the door).

How a typical august smart lock installation job goes

Tropic Isle waterfront home, husband + wife setup

August + Smart Keypad install - one wants the app, one wants a PIN

Tropic Isle homeowners called Premier - husband wanted smart lock control via phone (auto-unlock as he gets home from work), wife refused to use a phone app and preferred a PIN code. Existing deadbolt was a Kwikset Smartkey from 2018 - compatible with August retrofit.

Premier installed the August Wi-Fi 4th-gen on the inside of the existing deadbolt + the August Smart Keypad on the door frame. Husband's phone configured for auto-unlock with Bluetooth proximity detection. Wife's PIN set on the keypad - 6-digit personal code. House cleaner got a separate time-bounded PIN that auto-expires each Friday 2 p.m.

Total install: $285 (lock + keypad + setup + training for both spouses). Both happy: husband walks in hands-full from groceries without unlocking, wife uses her PIN with no phone involvement, cleaner has restricted access. 6 months later, they added a 2nd August on the back patio door + integrated everything with their Alexa.

Frequently Asked

August Smart Lock Installation - Delray homeowners' questions, answered

Most likely yes - August retrofits onto Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Emtek, and most standard residential deadbolts. We confirm on the site walk or you can send a photo of your inside-of-deadbolt and we'll tell you in minutes. ~95% of Delray residential deadbolts are compatible.
Yes - August doesn't change the outside of your door at all. The original cylinder keeps working with the original keys. August adds phone / app control on the inside thumb-turn. You can always fall back to the physical key.
Schlage Encode and Yale Assure 2 REPLACE your entire deadbolt (inside and outside). August RETROFITS onto your existing deadbolt's inside. Choose August if you love your current door hardware brand / finish and want to keep the outside look. Choose Schlage / Yale if you want a built-in keypad on the outside (no phone needed for PIN entry).
Yes - your original physical keys still work AND you can add the August Smart Keypad accessory ($45 - $85 extra) for PIN-code entry from the outside. Most Delray installs we do include the keypad for the spouse who doesn't want to use the app + for guests / contractors.
The 4th-generation August Wi-Fi Smart Lock has Wi-Fi built in - no hub required. The 3rd-generation and older required an August Connect bridge. We install the 4th gen by default; we can transfer existing 3rd-gen installs to the newer version + retire the bridge.
Depends on your home's Bluetooth handshake stability + Wi-Fi signal at the door. We test during install and recommend adjustments if needed (move router, add mesh node, etc.). For most Delray homes with average Wi-Fi, Auto-Unlock works 90%+ of the time. For homes with very weak Wi-Fi at the front door, we recommend a $45 - $85 Wi-Fi diagnostic + boost recommendation before deciding.
Yes to all three. August has native HomeKit support (set unlock automations via Home app), Alexa support (voice unlock with PIN confirmation), and integrates with Ring's ecosystem. We configure during install if you want it.
