After many years in the field and over thousands of installations, we’ve seen the transformation of smart locks in Miami. My first installation in South Beach back in 2015 failed within three months – salt air had corroded the circuits. Hurricane Michael in 2018 was another wake-up call when numerous smart locks failed during power outages, leaving homeowners vulnerable.
These challenges pushed innovation. Today’s systems incorporate marine-grade materials and hurricane-resistant designs that can withstand Miami’s harshest conditions.
Salt air is our biggest enemy here. Through hundreds of installations, we’ve proven that marine-grade materials are essential. Last month, I inspected a Schlage Encode Plus at a Collins Avenue high-rise that had weathered two years of direct ocean exposure without internal corrosion.
Concrete and steel create unique challenges in our vertical cities. Wi-Fi signals struggle, but newer models overcome this. The Yale Assure Lock 2 has become our go-to for high-rises after successful installations in over 300 units. Its Matter compatibility means reliable connectivity even through thick walls.
Miami’s booming short-term rental market needs special solutions. The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (4th Gen) has revolutionized property management here. One property manager on Ocean Drive manages 20 units remotely, generating unique codes for each guest automatically.
