Choosing a smart lock in Labrador
Renovators upgrading older front doors should confirm backset and door thickness before ordering a deadbolt replacement.
Labrador has moderate coastal exposure, so sheltered front doors are straightforward while exposed gates still benefit from weather-rated hardware. Whatever you choose, measure your door’s thickness and backset, confirm the lock type, and keep a mechanical key backup.

- Confirm door thickness, backset and lock type before ordering.
