Keyless entry, remote access, and activity logs are just some of the benefits of upgrading to a digital smart lock.
1st Pick Locksmiths fit smart locks across North Wales for homes, holiday lets, and businesses, matched to your door type and security requirements, and properly set up before we leave.
Smart locks remove the risk of lost keys and let you grant temporary access remotely, which is useful for holiday lets, family members, or tradespeople, without the need for a physical key safe or key handover in person.
Many models also integrate with existing home security systems, giving you a single, connected view of your property’s access history.
For holiday let and Airbnb hosts specifically, smart locks can significantly simplify guest check-in and check-out, removing the logistics of physical key exchange entirely.
Most smart locks combine a traditional mechanical lock body with an electronic control module, allowing entry via a smartphone app, keypad code, key fob, or, in many cases, a traditional physical key as a backup.
This means you’re never solely dependent on the electronic components working. If the battery dies or the app is unavailable, the mechanical backup ensures you can still get in.
A common concern with smart locks is whether they’re genuinely as secure as traditional mechanical locks.
Reputable smart lock manufacturers build their products to meet recognised security standards, and many models include British Standard-compliant mechanical components as the physical backup layer.
We only recommend and fit smart locks from established manufacturers with a genuine security track record, rather than budget options with unclear certification.
We don’t just fit the lock and leave. We walk you through setup, app control, adding and removing user access, and everyday use, so you’re confident using it from day one.
This is particularly important for smart locks, since a poorly understood system is more likely to cause frustration or accidental lockouts than a traditional key.
As with all our work, smart lock installation is backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty, and carried out by DBS checked, fully insured locksmiths across Conwy, Llandudno, Deganwy, Colwyn Bay, Bangor and the wider North Wales areas.

A digital smart lock is an electronic locking system that allows access without relying solely on a traditional key. Depending on the model, it may use a PIN, smartphone, key card, fingerprint, or another access method.
