Can August Smart Locks be used on any door?

Asked 4 months ago
August Smart Locks are designed to fit most standard residential doors, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. The lock itself is a retrofit device that primarily attaches to the inside of an existing deadbolt, meaning that it does not replace the entire lock structure, but enhances the existing one. Therefore, it is compatible with doors that have a single-cylinder deadbolt. The thickness of the door is another significant factor; August Smart Locks typically work with doors that are one and three-eighths inches to two inches thick. Additionally, the existing deadbolt must have a backset of either two and three-eighths inches or two and three-fourths inches to ensure proper installation. Users should also be aware of the door's material and any obstructions that might hinder the installation, such as a door handle or security plate. Checking the August website for specific compatibility guidelines and installation material can provide additional information tailored to individual door types.
