In today's fast-paced world, convenience and security are paramount. We can manage our thermostats, lights, and even our coffee makers from our phones—so why should our door locks be any different? Schlage, a name synonymous with quality and trust in home security for decades, has seamlessly blended its legacy of durability with modern technology. The result? A lineup of smart locks that offer unparalleled control and peace of mind.

But which Schlage smart lock is right for you? And how can you ensure it's installed perfectly to protect your home? Let's dive into some of Schlage's most popular models and introduce your local Denver experts for installation and service: Apex Lock and Key.
Spotlight on Schlage Smart Locks 🔑
Schlage offers a range of smart locks designed to fit different lifestyles and smart home ecosystems. Here are three of their top contenders:
Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt
The Schlage Encode is the ultimate all-in-one solution. Its standout feature is built-in Wi-Fi, which means you don't need any extra hubs or accessories to connect it to your home network.
Key Features:
Direct Wi-Fi Connectivity: Manage your lock from anywhere using the Schlage Home app.
Voice Assistant Compatible: Works seamlessly with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Customizable Access Codes: Create up to 100 unique codes for family, friends, and trusted service providers.
Built-in Alarm: Senses potential security breaches at the lock.
Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt
If your home is built around the Apple ecosystem, the Schlage Sense is an excellent choice. It uses Bluetooth technology and integrates directly with Apple HomeKit.

Key Features:
Apple HomeKit Integration: Use Siri to lock and unlock your door with your voice.

Schlage Connect™ Smart Deadbolt

Why Professional Installation is a Must
While DIY projects can be rewarding, installing a smart lock is a job best left to the professionals. An improper installation can lead to several problems:
Misalignment: A misaligned deadbolt can cause jamming, battery drain, and eventual motor failure.
Connectivity Issues: A professional ensures the lock is set up correctly to communicate with your Wi-Fi or smart home hub.
Security Vulnerabilities: A poorly installed lock can be a weak point in your home's security.
