Smart Locks That Report With Your HomeShield System
A compatible smart lock lets you grant codes, see lock/unlock activity, and build routines with Alarm.com — including doorbell unlock workflows when the lock and doorbell are both on supported paths. Home Shield selects locks that enroll cleanly with 2GIG Edge / Alarm.com rather than promising every big-box lock works.

What it is
Door hardware that participates in security routines
Smart locks replace or upgrade the deadbolt experience with keypad codes, app control, and status reporting. On a HomeShield system, the valuable part is integration: knowing the door is locked when you arm, and managing users without hiding keys outside.
Most residential integrations we discuss are Z-Wave locks paired to the Edge panel, then surfaced in Alarm.com. Exact brands/models are confirmed from current compatible lists at quote time.

Install notes
Door prep and compatibility beat brand logos
We verify the lock model against Alarm.com / Edge compatibility before promising features like auto-lock rules or doorbell unlock. Not every Z-Wave lock exposes the same feature set.
Mechanical door condition matters: warped doors and misaligned strikes cause “smart” problems that are actually carpentry. We call that out early.
Deadbolt replacements
Common path for front and service doors.
User codes
Household and temporary access without key copies.
Verify features
Auto-lock, one-touch, and doorbell unlock confirmed per model.

FAQ
Common questions
Will any Z-Wave lock work?
No. Compatibility and feature support vary. We verify the specific model for Edge and Alarm.com.
Can the lock disarm my alarm automatically?
Some workflows can relate lock events to security modes when designed carefully. We avoid accidental disarm paths and explain options at quote.
Do I need Alarm.com for a smart lock?
For the integrated HomeShield experience we sell, interactive Alarm.com service is part of how you manage the lock remotely.
What about battery changes?
Locks are battery powered. We show you status monitoring where the platform provides it and plan for maintenance.
