Choosing a smart lock in Miami
Renovators fitting locks to older cottage doors should double-check thickness and consider slim hardware for period doors.
Miami sits in a high salt-air exposure zone, so outdoor and near-beach hardware needs weather-rated, sealed designs and periodic maintenance. Whatever you choose, measure your door’s thickness and backset, confirm the lock type, and keep a mechanical key backup.

Local buying checklist
- Match outdoor ratings to how exposed the specific door or gate is.
- Confirm door thickness, backset and lock type before ordering.
- Prefer reversible installs if you rent — keep the original hardware.
- Test the mechanical key and app before relying on keyless entry.
