Best Smart Lock Australia 2026 - Installer's Verdict

Best isn't a commodity - camera angles that respect neighbour privacy, lock strikes that sit flush, touchscreens at the right height, sub-mains that don't nuisance-trip. That craft is what separates a good install from an average one.

Choosing SmartSpace for Best means dealing with the same two founders - Leo and James, from first call through to handover. No account managers, no offshore call centres, no scripted upsells.

Every best project starts with a proper on-site consultation. We measure, mark cable runs, photograph switchboards and talk through how the household actually uses the space, so the best quote we hand you is fixed in writing before a tool is lifted.

Our senior crew is what makes the difference on a best install. Licensed electricians and data-cabling technicians work in our own vans, never sub-contracted out, which is why every job carries a full 10-year workmanship warranty.

We treat Best as an engineered install, not a retail box shift - proper Cat6 or Cat6A cabling, weatherproof enclosures where hardware sits outside, tidy switchboard labelling, and a documented as-built handover pack you can hand to the next electrician.

Pricing for Best is transparent and honest. We publish typical ranges, walk you through hardware options in plain English, and never bolt on monthly cloud subscriptions or vendor lock-ins after the fact.

Because we live and work in Perth, response times on best enquiries are fast: most site visits happen within the same week and post-install adjustments are handled by the same crew who did the original work.

Quoting is done on site, not over the phone. We look at the switchboard, the ceiling space, the wall construction and the existing cabling before we put a number on paper, because that's the only way a fixed price stays fixed. If we find something during the works that genuinely changes the scope, you hear about it the same day, in writing, before we proceed.

Our systems are built to be handed over, not held hostage. You own the licences, you hold the admin credentials, and nothing we install depends on a portal only we can log into. Plenty of homeowners come to us after being locked out of their own gear by a previous installer, and we won't put anyone in that position.

Timelines are set by the trade sequence, not by wishful thinking. On new builds and renovations we work back from lock-up and plaster dates so cabling lands before the walls close, and we coordinate directly with your builder, sparky and cabinet maker rather than leaving you to relay messages.

Cabling is the part nobody sees and the part that decides how long a system lasts. We run generous spare capacity, terminate to standard, label both ends, and test every run before it's signed off. It costs a little more on day one and it saves rewiring the house when the next generation of hardware arrives.

We build for the way the household actually lives. Kids who lock themselves out, a partner who won't touch an app, grandparents who need a physical button, a dog that sets off badly placed sensors - those details decide whether a system gets used or switched off after a fortnight, so we ask about them up front.

Security and privacy are treated as defaults, not extras. Cameras get their own network segment, default passwords are always changed, remote access is locked down, and firmware is checked at handover. If a device only works by exposing your home network to the open internet, we won't specify it.
