Final inspection for smart-lock fit, latch and deadbolt alignment, door operation, egress, fire-door implications, batteries, codes, app access, account ownership, privacy, keys, and fallback entry.
4 items to check
For a complete inspection, also consider:
The smart lock should fit the door and existing preparation without defeating required egress, fire-door, accessibility, rental, or approved security functions.
The lock should operate freely without forcing the motor, lifting or pushing the door, loose trim, weak attachment, or misaligned strike.
Primary and backup entry methods should function, batteries and low-power alerts should be configured, and user codes and remote access should follow owner-approved security settings.
The owner should control administrator access and understand users, logs, cloud features, integrations, reset, physical keys, emergency procedures, and warranty support.
Use this checklist after a smart lock installation. Door egress, fire rating, rental, shared-entry, accessibility, security, and emergency-access requirements vary by location and occupancy.
Final inspection for exterior-door opening, threshold, support, anchorage, flashing, weather sealing, operation, security, egress, hardware, trim, and documentation.
Installation and handover checklist for camera location, power, transformer, mounting, weather sealing, field of view, network, recording, notifications, privacy, account ownership, and documentation.
Final inspection for thermostat compatibility, safe wiring, equipment configuration, sensors, heating and cooling tests, account ownership, privacy, schedules, documentation, and fallback operation.
