Proper installation, careful setup, and support that sticks around

We’ve seen plenty of shiny new locks fitted wrong — doors that won’t latch, apps that won’t pair, and batteries flat after a month. Tasmanian Mobile Locksmith’s veteran team will guarantee your house’s new smart lock is installed perfectly. We start with the critical stuff: alignment, power, and firmware. Once it’s solid, the rest works like a dream.

  • We fit smart door locks from leading brands onto timber, aluminium, and composite doors, both old and new.
  • Every installation includes app setup, code programming, calibration, and a full handover before we pack up.
  • You’ll understand the backup key system, battery alerts, and manual override so you’re never locked out.

A Master Locksmith’s guide to getting the best out of your smart lock

Smart locks are clever little machines, but they need a bit of care and common sense to keep working the way they should. After years of fitting them around Hobart, here’s what we’ve learned that’ll save you time, money and frustration.

Choose the right smart lock for your door

Not every door is built the same, and that’s half the battle. Heavy old timber frames might need reinforced strike plates, while lightweight aluminium doors call for a slimmer design. We’ll help you pick something that fits your door properly, not just what looks good on a shelf.

Protect your lock from Tasmania’s weather

Hobart’s sea air has a habit of finding its way into everything. Moisture and salt can corrode fittings and wear out batteries faster than they should. A simple weather seal, a bit of cleaning and the right materials make all the difference in keeping your smart lock running smooth.

Keep an eye on your batteries

Nine times out of ten, when someone calls about a “broken” smart lock, it’s just the batteries. Change them once a year or whenever your app reminds you. We’ll show you how to swap them safely and how to spot corrosion before it causes trouble.

Share access codes wisely

Giving friends, family or guests a temporary code is handy, but it pays to clean house. Delete old codes when they’re no longer needed, and keep track of who has access. We’ll walk you through how to manage users and check the activity log so you always know what’s what.

Stay on top of software updates

Most smart locks have firmware that updates over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Those updates fix security gaps and bugs that can make your lock unreliable. We make sure your system’s up to date when we install it and show you how to keep it that way.

When to call a professional

If the latch feels stiff, the keypad freezes or the lock just won’t connect, stop and give us a call. We can recalibrate, re-sync or repair the mechanism before it packs it in completely. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less stressful than replacing the whole thing.

The story behind Tas Mobile Locksmith

Back in 1989, Rob started Tas Mobile Locksmith with one van, a box of keys and a promise to always treat customers like neighbours. Decades later, that hasn’t changed. We still show up, do the job right and leave people feeling safer than when we arrived.

  • Family-run and proudly Tasmanian, serving Hobart and the surrounds for over 35 years.
  • Every locksmith is trained by hand, the old-fashioned way — precision, patience and pride.
  • We’re happiest when a customer says, “That was easier than I expected.” That’s the whole point.

Frequently asked questions about smart lock installation

Our locksmiths have answered the most common questions about home smart locks, what to buy, what to avoid and what really happens when you press “lock.” Every answer is checked by someone who has fitted the gear with their own hands.

Can you fit a smart lock on an old Hobart front door that still has a stained-glass panel?

Yes, we can, and we’ve done plenty of them. Most older Hobart doors can take a digital lock without any trouble as long as it’s fitted properly. The key is choosing the right model and making sure the timber is solid enough to hold the hardware securely.

Now, the fun part is working around the character of those old doors. The stained glass, the thick panels and the worn hinges all add personality but also a few challenges. Our experienced locksmiths start by checking the structure and existing locks and keys before choosing the best option for your home. We only use high-quality fittings and take care not to split the timber or disturb the glass. Sometimes we’ll adjust the latch position or reinforce the inner plate to keep things secure. Over the years, we’ve developed clever lock solutions that blend heritage design with modern residential security, even around decorative window locks. It takes a steady hand and a bit of patience, but when that new smart lock clicks shut on an old door, it just feels right.

If I rent out my granny flat, can you set up a smart lock that keeps it separate from my main house?

Yes, absolutely. Smart locks are ideal for keeping your property divided between you and tenants. We can install one that gives secure access to your rental or Airbnb area without affecting your own entry. It’s a tidy, modern fix that suits both long and short-term stays.

Once it’s fitted, you’ll be able to add and remove guest codes with ease, saving you the trouble of swapping keys or chasing them later. Many owners love the convenience, and for extra security, we can combine smart locks with restricted key systems so there’s always a physical backup. It’s one of those upgrades that pays off every time you hand over the space to someone new.

Can smart locks be installed on sliding doors or French doors in Hobart homes?

Yes, they can. With the right hardware and a careful touch, we can fit smart locks to sliding glass doors, French doors or even the garden gate. Every door style needs its own approach, but there’s almost always a way to make it work.

For example, if your back door uses a multi-point or hook latch, we’ll match it with the correct motorised system. We can also help you install garage door locks in your Hobart home so every entry on your property is secure. We work with a wide range of Australian and international products that provide reliable performance and high security results without compromising how the door looks or moves.

I’m not great with technology — are smart locks too complicated to use day to day?

Not at all. Once installed properly, smart locks are as simple as a button press or swipe. You can use your fingerprint, a phone tap or a backup code to unlock the door, whichever feels easiest.

We take care of the tech setup for you, connecting it to your smart devices and walking you through the basics before we leave. You’ll have our excellent customer service team if you ever need help, and we back it all with extensive experience fitting these systems across Hobart homes. We’re committed to providing gear that’s reliable, easy and built for everyday life. If you can use a TV remote, you’ll handle a smart lock just fine.

Can a smart lock tell me who’s come and gone while I’m at work?

Yes, most can. The beauty of a connected security system is that it keeps you in the loop without you needing to check in constantly. You can see when someone enters or leaves your new home, which gives that extra bit of peace of mind when you’re out.

We’ll make sure your lock is properly linked and up-to-date before we finish the job. The logs show who’s used it and when, which helps you secure your home and keep access to your home easy to manage. It’s a smart, simple way to stay informed, and with our industry expertise, we’ll show you how to set it up in plain English.

What happens if someone forgets the code or locks themselves out with a smart lock?

It happens more than you’d think, and it’s nothing to stress about. Every system we install comes with a backup method, from key slots to override batteries. And if things really go sideways, our emergency locksmith services are available around the clock.

Our locksmithing services include resets, reprogramming and key cutting for new codes. We can make copies of keys for family or neighbours you trust, so there’s always a safety net. Just contact us and we’ll send one of our trustworthy locksmiths to get you back inside. We’ve seen every kind of lockout story, and we’ve sorted every one of them.

Can you integrate smart locks with intercoms or video doorbells used in Hobart houses?

Yes, we can. Most modern electronic lock systems connect smoothly with intercoms, video doorbells and other smart devices, creating a single point of control for your home.

We can also add a master key backup or tie it into broader residential locksmith services so everything works together. If you’re upgrading your security, we might suggest lock replacements for your home to make sure all parts match the system. As members of the Master Locksmiths Association of Australia, we hold our work to strict national standards. Whether you’re in town or one of the surrounding areas, we’ll tailor security solutions that fit neatly with how you live.

Are smart locks worth installing if I already have a good alarm system at home?

Yes, they’re the perfect companion. A good alarm system watches, but a smart lock controls. The two together make a strong team for your home security.

We help homeowners across Tasmania install keyless entry and digital locks in Hobart homes that work seamlessly alongside alarms. It’s all about adding layers of residential security to meet your security needs. With our highest quality fittings and steady workmanship, you get strength, style and a job done right. Whether you want to check who’s coming and going or just enjoy a bit more peace of mind, we’ll provide reliable advice and fitment that suits your locksmith needs.
