Frequently Asked Questions

• Does my old cylinder already work with a smart lock?

  If your lock is European, Swiss, or Nordic, it is available to install tedee smart lock with an adapter. However, there are some conditions for your door and cylinder. You can find more information in our blog post. If your lock is European and you're not sure whether to use an adapter or replace a cylinder, you can find the comparison of both setups here. 

• Do I have to use a new cylinder or adapter to install a smart lock?

  We offer easy-to-install adapters for European, Nordic, and Swiss lock types. However, you can replace your European cylinder with a tedee smart lock compatible modular cylinder. Read more about both setups here.

• Can I install it all myself?

  Yes, here you'll find video tutorials that make installing a smart lock quick and easy. However, take notice that with a Euro-type adapter, you will need to cut your key - you can do it at a locksmith shop near you.

• How to choose the right hardware for my door?
