Residential Digital Smart Locks for Modern Kiwi Homes

Keyless Security That’s Simple, Smart, and Reliable

Take control of your home security with Armstrong’s residential digital smart locks — built for modern living. Our keyless systems offer New Zealand homeowners a reliable way to manage access without the risks and inconvenience of physical keys. Whether you're replacing traditional locks, managing guest access, or improving everyday security, digital smart locks deliver more than just convenience — they deliver peace of mind.

Keyless entry removes the worry of misplaced or stolen keys, prevents unauthorised duplication, and allows you to monitor and control who enters your home at any time. With features like programmable access codes, app-based remote locking, and customisable entry permissions, you can create a secure and seamless entry experience for family members, guests, service providers, or Airbnb visitors.

Backed by over 45 years of industry expertise and a nationwide team of certified locksmiths, Armstrong Smarter Security ensures every installation is done right, with ongoing product support and advice you can count on.

Why Choose a Smart Lock for Your Home?

Traditional keys come with risks. They can be misplaced, duplicated without your knowledge, or simply forgotten at the worst possible time. Residential digital smart locks give homeowners a safer, smarter, and more convenient way to manage access. 

Instead of relying on physical keys, smart locks let you control entry using mobile apps, PIN codes, and even biometric access such as fingerprints or voice commands, depending on the model.

This isn’t just about technology for technology’s sake — it’s about security that adapts to your lifestyle. Whether you need to let your kids in after school, give a guest temporary access, or ensure your cleaner only enters during specific hours, smart locks give you real-time control over who comes and goes.

And because Armstrong’s digital lock range includes Bluetooth and WiFi, we can tailor the right lock to your needs, your door type, and your level of comfort with connected devices.

Whether you're managing a family home, rental property, or guest accommodation, smart locks offer a long-term security upgrade that puts control in your hands.

How Residential Digital Locks Work

Our digital smart locks allow you to control your doors via:
  • Smartphone apps
  • Digital keypads
  • Biometric verification (on select models)
  • Voice commands through smart home assistants

You can manage access with personalised PIN codes, also known as eKeys, which can be scheduled, time-limited, or removed at any time. This makes them ideal for busy households, visiting relatives, or short-term accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't worry, you won't be locked out. Most smart locks warn you well in advance with low-battery alerts on the lock itself or via the mobile app.

If the battery does drain completely, our locks always have a backup entry option. This is usually a physical mechanical override key or a hidden port where you can touch a 9V battery to temporarily power the lock and enter your code.

While no digital device is 100% risk-free, the premium brands we install (Yale, Schlage, Sylvan) use advanced banking-grade encryption and two-factor authentication to make hacking extremely difficult.

In reality, it is much harder for a criminal to hack a high-quality smart lock than it is for them to pick a traditional mechanical lock or break a window.

Yes, in most cases we can install digital locks on existing timber doors, as well as aluminium and some steel doors.

If you have an older door, our technicians may need to make minor adjustments to the frame or holes to ensure the new lock fits perfectly and aligns correctly. We assess this during our initial visit to ensure you get the right product for your specific door type.

Not necessarily. Many digital locks use Bluetooth or simple keypad codes that work independently of the internet.

However, if you want remote features such as unlocking the door from work for a guest or receiving real-time entry alerts on your phone, you will need a model that connects to Wi-Fi, often via a small bridge device plugged into a nearby power socket.

Yes, many of the smart lock models we stock feature a mechanical key override.

This is a popular feature for homeowners who want the convenience of keyless entry but the peace of mind of having a physical backup key just in case.
