ADT Smart Locks. Forget your keys – you won't get locked out again. Lock and unlock your doors from virtually anywhere with the ADT mobile app.
Call a Family Member to Come Home and Unlock Your Door
Give them a call if you can't find any unlocked doors or windows in your home and see if they can come home and use their key to get you back into your house.
Your smart lock will contain electronic components allowing it to connect to your home internet either via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Z-Wave. This is what gives you remote access to the lock via an internet-enabled smart device. Like all locks, smart locks operate with the use of a lock and a key.
ADT is a home security solution that strengthens your door safety against attacks. Like Ring Alarm, Vivint, and other home security systems, ADT works with compatible smart locks to protect your front doors from burglary attacks.
Push an eyeglasses screwdriver, a paper clip hammered flat, or a very small butter knife into this hole. Push it straight through as far as you can, and turn or twist it until it catches a groove and the lock clicks open.
Simply enter the bump key into the deadbolt lock and use a screwdriver or other sturdy-ended tool to hit the end of the key toward the door. The force should cause the key to turn, thus unlocking the door.
A small or thin screwdriver will work best on interior doors or doors with privacy handles. Simply push the screwdriver into the hole on the doorknob straight through for as far as you can. Then, turn or twist the screwdriver until the lock opens.
Smart locks do not require Wi-Fi to work. There are several wireless methods available to connect to a smart lock including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, and Zigbee.
Unfortunately, you can not unlock a deadbolt with a credit card. Credit cards will only work with slanted-latch-style locks. Furthermore, the slant of the latch must be facing you so that you may press it in using your card.
You can pick any keyed deadbolt lock with two basic tools. The first is the pick itself, which is a long, rigid piece of metal or plastic that fits easily into the keyhole and won't bend easily when you push it against something.
Insert the paper clip into the hole. Move the paper clip around until it catches something or a click is heard. There is a small button inside the knob that serves as the locking mechanism. Without too much time or effort the paper clip should contact the button and release the lock.
Unlike ADT Pulse, ADT Control includes a touchscreen control panel to manage smart home and security equipment at home with one device. ADT Pulse still allows remote control of your security system and smart home devices without the panel while using the Pulse app.
Does ADT support Ring Devices? No, as of 2020, ADT does not support Ring Devices in our Pulse application. If you are interested in getting additional cameras for your ADT system, please call (800) 238-2727.
Does the Ring doorbell work with ADT? The Ring Video Doorbell pairs with your ADT Pulse home security system, but, at this time, it does not work with ADT Command & Control.
Connect your Schlage smart lock and other compatible smart home devices to your ADT system for enhanced security and convenience. You can control those devices using the ADT mobile app or with voice commands, create automated routines and manage your security remotely from your smartphone for greater peace of mind.
Yes, Z-Wave is compatible with ADT. Any alarm system will support Z-Wave home automation devices, as long as it has a Z-Wave controller. Some systems come with a Z-Wave controller that is already built-in, while others will need to have one added separately to support Z-Wave devices.
