August is claiming that their Smart Lock can be installed in just 10 minutes on almost any deadbolt. The TekHeadz crew goes step-by-step through the installation to see if that claim is true!

You rock. I had the same issue with the little green piece being backwards. I didn't see it in the documentation anywhere either. You are a lifesaver!

[@zirconiaalleyne2089]

Thank God for TH-cam! This video helped me figure out why my August lock wasn't sitting flush on the door. Had to flip the adapter around. Thank you for this video!

[@ovidiu0505]

The most accurate review ever!good job mate!

[@stimey4477]

I'm not really sure why someone would give this a thumbs down? Great video guys. Very informative and looks like it's really easy to install!! Thanks!!!

[@kevinbaker4836]

Looking to get one today for AirBnB guests and this video was very helpful. Hoping to set it up soon.

[@maryt2189]

Thank you so much!
I have been trying for over an hour to get it to lock into place and it was because I did not have the adaptor lined up properly. You showed me the error and now its done!

[@TekHeadz]

+Mary T You're welcome. Glad it helped!

[@jeffzahnd]

[@pocilge1]

[@FrancisOpoku]

I need to get a new deadbolt. What would you reccomend for me to use with the august smart lock

[@myeternalsin]

Thank you so much, that took no time at all! I'd be Lying if I said I was a little nervous installing this LOL

[@lilywei7206]

Does the battary has to change often? It will be really hard to manage if you are installing to your vacation home where you only go there when you are on vacation?

[@JohnDemetriou]

Can I use this if my lock is also controlling door opening? E.g. no extra handle to actually open the door, just an extra key turn? (one key turn unlocks, second turn opens door)

[@abdullahaln1520]

could we use it with different kind of doors as the locker and and Knob comes in One piece I don't think so so what i think we should change or style or frame for my door as i will change it i and to paint it again or what do you think ?
thanks

[@copperloss]

If someone has a cassette its not possible to install the august smart lock correct? Is there another smart lock that would accept a cassette instead?

[@zhw7649]

The adapter of the lock is installed, but you can't use the mobile phone to control the switch door. Please guide, thank you.

Question: I'm looking to use this lock on an outside gate. my objective for the lock is that it cannot be opened manually (so someone can't simply reach over the fence and unlock it) I realize one side has no possible manual operation, but can the other side (inside portion) simply be opened by turning the cyclider? Or maybe it can be programed to overide any manual use and rely just on the smart use?

[@zelda318]

This is NOT the lock for you then. You can manually open the door from the inside with this lock by rotating the lock

[@angelmaharaj19]

I installed it and my deadbolt on moves manually with a key

[@sarahlangan3436]

Im renting and will need to reinstall the old thumbturn when i move. Is that possible?

[@christophergarden430]

the reason you had issues with your adapter is because the Kwikset tail piece is not symmetrical. it will either face right on a left handed door or opposite on a left handed door. when you moved your adapter to the lock you installed the same side effectively putting it on backwards... the adapters for the other common tailpieces would not have offered the same issue.

[@davidbravo4740]

I have it and it works great BUT it is a bit stiff when turning it to open by hand?? Is this normal or did I do something wrong??

[@ajflowz5009]

David Bravo is your original lock was sticking then no lock is ever going to work flawlessly..

[@aquarius9491]

What would you do if the batteries went dead & you didn't have any key's for backup?

[@forbsy2116]

Same thing you'd do if you didn't have this lock :). It doesn't change anything from the outside. So, the lock needs the same key as before you got this lock. It only changes things from the inside of the house. If batteries go dead than you can still manually open/close from the inside. You'd need your same keys as usual from the outside.

[@mrmarco53]

You are supposed to use the adapter to align the plate before tightening the screws to insure the lock turns freely without binding. Then place the adapter on the back of the August device to make it easier to mount the device to the lock plate.

[@justinnelson4778]
