What August Locks Are—and Where You’ll Find Them
August is known for retrofit smart locks that attach to the inside of a compatible deadbolt. The lock’s exterior key cylinder can remain in place, so you may still use the physical key that operates that deadbolt. August smart-lock models use app-based controls, and some setups pair with a separate keypad or other connected features.
You’ll commonly find August locks on residential entry doors where someone wants smart access without replacing the whole deadbolt. The door, existing lock and August model all affect compatibility. We check those parts together before installation or repair, including whether the deadbolt moves freely and the door closes in line with its frame.
August Locksmith Services for Smart Locks and Deadbolts
- August lock installation — We check the existing deadbolt, door clearance and interior mounting space before setting up an August smart lock. That confirms whether the lock can turn the deadbolt without binding.
- August lock repair — We inspect the smart-lock unit alongside the deadbolt and door alignment. A stiff bolt or misaligned door can affect operation even when the electronic unit is working.
- Smart-lock setup — We set up supported August controls and test operation at the door. If your model uses an accessory keypad, we check that setup as part of the visit.
- Rekey the existing deadbolt — August retrofit locks usually work with the existing keyed deadbolt, so rekeying concerns the deadbolt cylinder rather than the smart-lock unit. Lock rekeying starts at $55 per lock.
- Replace a worn or unsuitable lock — When the existing deadbolt is damaged or does not suit the door, we can replace the lock. A lock change starts at $85 plus hardware.
- Help with a lockout or key issue — We provide residential lockout service and key help at the property. A house lockout starts at $55; a physical key for an August setup operates the compatible deadbolt.

How an August Lock Visit Works in San Luis Obispo
- Check the lock and door — We identify the August unit and inspect the deadbolt, key cylinder, door fit and symptoms. This helps separate a smart-lock issue from a sticking bolt or door alignment problem.
- Confirm the service needed — We determine whether the work calls for repair, rekeying, replacement or smart-lock setup. The $29 service call. Any listed service price applies to its named work.
- Complete and test the work — We carry out the agreed service and check the lock at the door, including the physical key where applicable. For smart setup, we also test the installed unit’s operation.
How to Identify an August Smart Lock
Look for the August name or logo on the interior smart-lock unit, its packaging, or the keypad accessory; the unit sits on the inside of the door above the deadbolt. The key head may not say August, because it usually belongs to the existing deadbolt’s cylinder. If you can’t see the inside unit, a photo of the door’s interior lock and keypad can help us identify what to check. If your August lock is not working, note whether the physical key still turns the deadbolt and whether the door shuts fully—those details help distinguish a smart-lock problem from a mechanical one.

Frequently asked questions
Can you find a replacement part for an older August lock?
We inspect the lock’s model and the part that has failed before recommending repair or replacement. Older August units may differ in mounting and controls, so share a clear photo of the interior unit and any keypad when you call.
What should I do if my August lock key sticks or will not turn?
The physical key turns the existing deadbolt cylinder, not the August smart-lock unit. We check the key, cylinder, bolt movement and door alignment to locate the cause before repairing or rekeying the lock.
Can you install an August lock on my existing door?
We check whether the existing deadbolt and door provide a compatible fit before installing an August retrofit lock. The deadbolt must move freely and the interior space must allow the August unit to mount and turn it.
Can you make all my doors work with one key?
We can assess the keyed cylinders on your doors and rekey compatible locks to work with the same key. August smart-lock units do not change the keying of the deadbolt beneath them.
Can you cut extra keys for an August lock?
Extra physical keys are cut for the deadbolt cylinder that the August unit operates. We check the lock and key type first; the August smart lock itself does not use a separate metal key.
