Question 1

Which smart locks do you install in Denver?

Accepted Answer

Falcon Locksmith installs Schlage Encode and Encode Plus, Yale Assure (keyed and keyless, with Wi-Fi and Matter modules), Kwikset Halo, Level Lock and Level Lock+, August, Ultraloq (fingerprint and Wi-Fi), and Eufy across Denver Metro. Every install includes door alignment, network setup, app onboarding, auto-lock configuration, and a full owner walkthrough — not just screwing hardware onto the door.

Question 2

Can you install Schlage Encode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Schlage Encode is one of our most-installed smart locks in Denver Metro because it has built-in Wi-Fi (no bridge required), works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, and holds up to Colorado temperature swings. Encode Plus adds Apple Home Key so you can tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock. We handle the door prep, install, network setup, and code programming.

Question 3

Can you install Yale locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Yale Assure Lock 2 is a modular platform — pick keyed or keyless, add a Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, Matter, or Apple Home Key module later without buying a new lock. That flexibility makes it a top pick for Denver homeowners who want to upgrade smart-home platforms over time. We install both interconnected (deadbolt+lever) and standalone deadbolt versions.

Question 4

Can you install Kwikset Halo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kwikset Halo is a budget-friendly Wi-Fi deadbolt with built-in SmartKey rekey technology — meaning if you ever need to rekey the mechanical override, it's a 30-second job. We install Halo Touch (fingerprint) and Halo (keypad) across Denver Metro, handle app setup, and walk you through code management and battery expectations.

Question 5

Can you install Level Lock?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Level Lock is the invisible smart lock — all the electronics live inside your existing deadbolt bore, so the outside of your door looks exactly like it did before. It's the best option for Denver homeowners who want a smart lock without changing the look of the door. Level Lock+ adds Apple Home Key tap-to-unlock.

Question 6

Can you install Ultraloq?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ultraloq combines fingerprint reader, keypad, app control, and mechanical key in a single unit — the most access methods of any residential smart lock. We install the U-Bolt Pro, U-Bolt Pro WiFi, and U-Bolt Pro Bluetooth across Denver Metro, enroll fingerprints, program user codes, and set up Wi-Fi for remote access.

Question 7

Can you troubleshoot smart locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Battery drain, Wi-Fi dropouts, motor jamming, non-latching, dead keypads, and firmware issues are all fixable in most cases. Falcon Locksmith diagnoses on-site across Denver Metro — most smart-lock complaints trace back to door alignment (strike not centered), poor Wi-Fi signal at the door, or the wrong battery type, not a defective lock.

Question 8

Can you reconnect my lock to Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Router changes, ISP swaps, and firmware updates commonly knock smart locks off Wi-Fi. We re-onboard Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and Ultraloq locks to your new network, reset app pairings, and verify remote access works from both cellular and Wi-Fi. Most Denver Metro re-onboarding calls take 20–30 minutes on-site.

Question 9

Can you replace smart lock batteries?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I use the battery type and grade the lock manufacturer specifies, which matters in Denver's temperature swings. Cold garages and exterior installs drain alkaline batteries fast. If your lock is eating batteries every few months, it's usually alignment (motor working too hard), a bad battery brand, or a failing motor — all fixable on-site.

Question 10

Can you upgrade existing locks to smart locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Level and August retrofit onto your existing deadbolt so the outside of the door is unchanged. Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, and Ultraloq fully replace the deadbolt with a smart unit. We assess your existing door prep across Denver Metro and recommend the smart lock that fits your door, network, and smart-home platform.

Question 11

Can smart locks be rekeyed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every smart lock with a mechanical key override can be rekeyed — Kwikset Halo uses SmartKey (fast, tool-based rekey), Schlage and Yale use standard 5-pin cylinders (traditional rekey), and Level uses the mechanical cylinder inside the deadbolt. We rekey mechanical overrides during install so the smart lock's backup key matches your existing house key set.

Question 12

Do you install keypad-only smart locks without Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Non-Wi-Fi keypad locks are a great fit for Denver homeowners who want codeless entry without connecting to an app or network. Schlage BE365 and Kwikset SmartCode 913 are our most-installed offline keypads — reliable, battery-friendly, and no smart-home setup required. We also install commercial keypad locks (Kaba, Alarm Lock Trilogy) for offices where audit trail and manager codes matter.

Question 13

Do smart locks work during power outages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every smart lock we install runs on batteries (typically 4x AA), so power outages don't affect the lock. Wi-Fi remote features go dark when your router loses power, but the keypad, fingerprint reader, and Bluetooth still work locally. Every smart lock also has a mechanical key backup or 9V terminal jump for emergency access if batteries die completely.

Question 14

Which smart lock is best?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your priorities. Best all-around Wi-Fi: Schlage Encode or Yale Assure. Best Apple Home Key: Schlage Encode Plus or Level Lock+. Best invisible install: Level Lock. Best fingerprint: Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro. Best budget: Kwikset Halo. Best retrofit (keep your key): August. We recommend based on your door, network, and smart-home platform during the Denver Metro consultation.

Question 15

Can you repair malfunctioning smart locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Motor failure, keypad failure, dead battery contacts, seized deadbolt throw, and firmware bricks are all serviceable in most cases. We stock replacement parts for Schlage, Yale, and Kwikset and can source repair kits for Level and August. If a lock is out of warranty and beyond economical repair, we recommend the closest replacement and reuse the existing bore prep.
