One App, One Front Door. Integrated video doorbell and keyless smart-lock packages — professionally installed, wired to mains where possible, and connected to your alarm and CCTV so the whole front door lives in one app. [Get My Free Quote](/contact)[Call +44 7700 137868](tel:+447700137868) 5,000+ local installs · 40+ years · Same-week visits Hikvision, Eufy & Yale Approved Mains-Wired Where Possible No Subscription Lock-In Integrated With Your Alarm & CCTV 12-Month Parts & Labour Guarantee Overview ## The complete picture before you commit. Honest, plain-English explanation no jargon, no hard sell. We want you to understand exactly what we're recommending and why. ### What it is A combined video doorbell and smart lock lets you see, hear, speak to and remotely admit visitors from anywhere. We install professionally-graded video doorbells (Hikvision, Eufy, Reolink) paired with certified smart locks (Yale, ERA, Ultion) — configured properly, wired to mains where practical, and integrated with your alarm and CCTV app. ### Who it's for Homeowners wanting one front-door control point, busy families letting deliveries and cleaners in without keys, holiday-let and Airbnb hosts remotely managing guests, and small commercial premises wanting keyless staff entry without a full access control system. ### When you need it When your existing doorbell has failed, when you're tired of hidden keys, when parcel theft is a repeated problem, or when you're upgrading a broader security system and want the front door brought into the same app as your alarm and CCTV. ### Why professional install matters DIY doorbells and locks routinely fail — poor Wi-Fi placement, battery-only devices running flat mid-month, subscription paywalls locking you out of your own recordings, and cheap smart locks that don't meet insurer standards. Professional installation means mains-wired power where achievable, correct door prep, insurer-recognised lock cylinders, and one unified app instead of five. What's at stake ## What happens when this gets ignored. ### Parcel theft on the doorstep The North West sees repeat parcel-theft patterns on the same streets. A recorded, notified front door changes the risk profile immediately. ### Battery doorbells that die weekly Battery-only doorbells struggle through winter and miss the events you need them for. Mains-wired installs solve it permanently. ### Locks that void insurance Cheap smart locks that aren't TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond can invalidate your home insurance the day you fit them. ### Five apps for one front door Alarm in one app, camera in another, doorbell in a third, lock in a fourth — the whole point of smart security is one control surface. Our Process ## A clear, predictable process no guesswork. Four decades of installs has taught us exactly what works. Every customer follows the same well-tested path from first call to long-term aftercare. 1. 1 Step 1 ### Front-Door Survey We check your existing bell wiring, door thickness, cylinder type, Wi-Fi strength at the door frame and how your household actually uses the front door. 2. 2 Step 2 ### Fixed-Price Package Quote Recommended doorbell + lock combination, mains-wiring plan, integration scope and total cost — all shown up front within 24 hours. 3. 3 Step 3 ### Professional Installation Doorbell mains-wired (or hard-wired transformer added), lock fitted with insurer-recognised cylinder, both linked to your Wi-Fi and — where compatible — your existing alarm and CCTV app. 4. 4 Step 4 ### App Handover & Household Setup Every household user set up, PIN codes issued for regulars (cleaners, family, dog walkers), notifications tuned, storage settings explained. Benefits ## What you actually get on day one. ### Mains-Wired Doorbell Where existing chime wiring is present we wire straight to it — no batteries, no winter dropouts, always-on recording. ### Insurance-Recognised Locks Yale Conexis L2, ERA Touchpoint, Ultion Nuki and equivalents — TS007 / Sold Secure rated so your insurer stays happy. ### No Subscription Required Every doorbell we install offers local or NAS recording as a paid-subscription alternative. Cloud storage is optional, never mandatory. ### PIN Codes For Regulars Time-boxed PINs for cleaners, dog walkers and Airbnb guests — no keys to lose, no locks to change. ### One Integrated App Where your alarm and CCTV support it, the doorbell and lock appear in the same app — one dashboard, one login. ### Discreet, Tidy Install Cabling routed inside — no exposed wiring, no drilled front doors, no visible batteries. In Depth ## Everything you'd want to know about video doorbell &. Plain-English deep dive into the equipment, methods and decisions that go into a properly engineered install. Prefer to discuss in person? Call [+44 7700 137868](tel:+447700137868) Lyndon usually answers personally. ### Recommended doorbell / lock combinations Our standard residential package is a Hikvision or Eufy 2K mains-wired doorbell paired with a Yale Conexis L2 keyless multipoint smart lock. For higher-security requirements we specify an Ultion Nuki smart cylinder retrofitted to a TS007 3-star Ultion mechanism — one of the strongest domestic lock combinations available in the UK. For Airbnb / holiday lets we favour Yale Keyless Connected with time-boxed PIN codes. ### Wiring the doorbell to mains power Where your property already has a wired chime we wire the new doorbell to the existing transformer (uprated if required). Where no wiring exists we can typically hard-wire from the internal hall using a 16 V AC transformer sited in the consumer unit cupboard or a fused spur, giving always-on recording and full 24/7 live-view without battery worries. ### Insurer-recognised smart locks Most UK home insurers require a lock meeting BS3621 or TS007 3-star. Yale Conexis L2, ERA Touchpoint and Ultion Nuki all meet these standards when correctly installed with the recommended cylinder. Fitting a cheaper smart lock (particularly imported Bluetooth-only units) can invalidate cover — we advise honestly on which lock actually satisfies your policy. ### Integration with alarm and CCTV Where you already have a Texecom Connect alarm or a Hik-Connect CCTV account, the doorbell (Hikvision) and lock (via SmartCom) can be brought into the same app view. Arm the alarm at night and the lock deadlocks automatically; a doorbell press mid-day pauses CCTV recording rules so the delivery driver isn't flagged as an intruder. ### Airbnb, holiday-let and letting agent use For short-let properties we configure time-boxed PIN codes tied to each booking, auto-expiring at check-out — no key exchanges, no lock changes between guests. Doorbell recordings are retained locally for the operator to review if issues arise. FAQ ## Straight answers, no jargon. Question not answered here? Call [+44 7700 137868](tel:+447700137868).
