Schlage Ascent Fingerprint Smart Lever Installation on a New Timber Door

We recently installed a Schlage Ascent Fingerprint Smart Entrance Lever in black finish on a brand new timber door in Auckland. This was a fresh installation, so we drilled new holes from scratch to fit the lock neatly and securely.

The Schlage Ascent is a great option for anyone wanting a simple, modern smart lock without going for a full mortice lock. It uses a standard tubular latch design and offers multiple ways to unlock the door, including fingerprint access, keypad PIN code, key tags, app control, and a back-up key.

For day-to-day use, it’s easy and convenient. User credentials can be added or managed through the Schlage Breeze App, making it handy for families, flatmates, or anyone who wants keyless entry without too much fuss.

The black finish also looks clean and modern on a timber door, giving the entrance a smart upgrade while keeping the overall look simple and tidy.

As this was a brand new door, we completed a fresh installation with new drilling in the door and frame. This helps ensure the lock lines up properly, operates smoothly, and looks nice once fitted.

If you’re looking for a fingerprint smart door lock installation in Auckland, or you’re planning to upgrade a new timber door with a Schlage smart entrance lever, this type of lock can be a practical and cost-effective option.

Schlage Ascent Lock offers a 2-year warranty backed by Schlage NZ.
