How to Install a Smart Lock in South Africa (It’s Easier Than You Think)

Smart locks might sound complicated, but installing one is surprisingly quick and hassle-free — especially with Igloohome’s range of smart locks that work without WiFi.

Here’s a simple guide to installing your smart lock at home:

Step 1: Choose the Right Smart Lock

Decide which lock fits your needs:

• Deadbolt 2S for front doors
• Rim Lock for security gates or inward opening doors
• Padlock for gates, storerooms, and garages

Step 2: Remove Your Old Lock

Using a screwdriver, carefully remove your existing lock. Most locks come off in a few minutes.

Step 3: Fit the Smart Lock

Align the smart lock with your existing hole or position. Igloohome locks are designed to fit standard door sizes and security gates in South Africa.

Step 4: Install the Batteries

Insert the AA batteries (included) into your smart lock.

Step 5: Set Up via the Igloohome App

Download the Igloohome app, connect your lock via Bluetooth, and follow the step-by-step setup. No WiFi needed.

Step 6: Create PIN Codes and Digital Keys
