Smart locks + commercial locksmith in Indianapolis — ACE certified, master-key systems, restricted keyways

A property owner who installs a Wi-Fi deadbolt themselves and then discovers it is incompatible with their existing door prep, their smart-home hub, or their HOA requirements has spent $200 on a lock they cannot use — while a commercial property manager with a non-hierarchical keying system is handing master keys to dozens of employees with no revocation path.

For smart-lock installs, our ACE-certified tech confirms door prep (2-1/8" bore, 1" backset, door thickness) and hub compatibility (Z-Wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, HomeKit) before any hardware is selected. Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo replace existing deadbolts; August Smart Lock Pro retrofits over an existing thumbturn (good for renters). Pairing with SmartThings, Alexa, or HomeKit is confirmed before the tech leaves.

For commercial work, we design hierarchical master-key systems — tenant keys, manager keys, grandmaster keys — with restricted keyway options (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) where unauthorized duplication is a security requirement. Key cuts are kept on file for future duplication management. ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 commercial hardware is standard.

Smart Lock Installation & Commercial Locksmith — common questions

Which smart lock should I install?
Depends on your existing deadbolt situation and smart-home hub. Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo are full deadbolt replacements with built-in Wi-Fi — best if you want a clean modern look and direct app control. August Smart Lock Pro retrofits over an existing thumbturn — best for renters or anyone who wants to keep using their existing keys. Yale Assure has the broadest hub compatibility (Z-Wave + Zigbee). Our ACE tech recommends based on your door and hub at the booking call.
Can you install smart locks on every door?
Almost always yes. Doors need standard 2-1/8" bore, 1" backset, and 1-3/4" thickness. Some custom doors, double-cylinder deadbolts, or commercial doors require slightly different products — we identify these during the booking call. About 95% of US residential doors support standard smart-lock hardware.
What is a master-key system?
A hierarchical keying system where different keys open different combinations of locks. Tenant key opens only tenant's unit. Manager key opens all units + common areas. Grandmaster key opens everything. The system is designed by a locksmith using a keying chart, and individual cylinders are pinned to match. Documentation is essential — we keep cuts on file for ongoing duplication management.
When should I use a restricted keyway (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock)?
When unauthorized duplication is a security concern — typically commercial properties with high turnover, government facilities, healthcare facilities, or high-value residential properties. Restricted keyways can only be duplicated by an authorized locksmith with documentation. Cost premium is roughly 2-3x standard hardware but the security benefit is dramatic.
