Electric lock installation
Need an electrically controlled lock or a replacement for an existing electric lock? Lukkoseppa24 installs, sets up and maintains electric locks for homes, housing companies and business premises in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and the rest of Uusimaa. We assess compatibility between the door, locking hardware and controls before work begins.
When is an electric lock a suitable option?
Electrically controlled locking can be useful when a door needs to be released through an intercom or access control system. Possible applications include apartment building entrances, office doors and other access doors requiring electrical control.
The appropriate solution depends on the door’s purpose and the existing system. We discuss how the door should be used, who needs to control it and which functions the property requires.
The lock, door and controls need to work together
Choosing an electric lock involves checking the door’s construction, existing lock case and strike plate, power supply, wiring and control method. Reliable door closing and correct hardware alignment also affect the system’s operation.
Not every electric lock fits an existing door or works with an existing system. We review compatibility and any necessary changes before purchase or installation. Required electrical and cabling work, and who will carry it out, are agreed for each project.
Installation, setup and configuration
We install the agreed locking components and carry out the agreed setup and device-specific configuration. Depending on the system, settings may include how the release command operates or how long the door remains unlocked.
We check that the lock responds to the agreed controls and that the door closes and locks correctly. We explain everyday operation and the agreed procedures for system faults.
Electric lock maintenance and faults
If a door fails to respond to a release command, locks inconsistently or works intermittently, the lock itself may not be the only cause. Door alignment, controls or the power supply may also be involved.
We investigate within the agreed scope of work and assess whether servicing, adjustment or replacement components are needed. If the repair requires other system or electrical work, we agree the next steps separately.
How much does electric lock installation cost?
The cost depends on the selected lock, door construction, existing wiring and power supply, control system and the installation and setup required. Replacing an existing electric lock may involve a different scope of work from installing electrical locking for the first time.
When requesting a quote, describe the door, existing lock and how you want to control access. Mention the system’s make or model if you know it. We agree the scope and price before starting. Any additional work is agreed separately.

Electric lock installation FAQs
Can an electric lock be fitted to an existing door?
Often, yes, but the door’s construction, existing hardware and required connections need checking. Some installations require changes to the door or wiring.
Can an electric lock connect to an intercom or access control system?
Connection may be possible if the lock and system are compatible. We check the control method, connections and required components before proceeding.
What happens to an electric lock during a power cut?
Its behaviour depends on the selected lock, system design and any backup power supply. The appropriate operation and access arrangements during an outage are discussed when choosing the solution.
Can I control the lock with my phone?
That depends on the control system. An electric lock alone does not automatically provide phone access. If you need this feature, mention it during planning.
Do electric locks need maintenance?
Maintenance requirements depend on the equipment, frequency of use and conditions. The door’s mechanical operation should also be checked if the lock sticks or the door does not close correctly.
Can an old electric lock be replaced with a newer model?
That depends on its dimensions, controls, power supply and other system requirements. We check compatibility before replacing it.
