Can you identify what type of lock this is on my front door. House was built in 1951 and I'm guessing door/lock are original. Looking to add an August smart lock but unsure if it's possible. Photos: http://imgur.com/a/98Fj1

That is a Yale mortise lock. No, the August will not work on that lock. You would need to install a cylindrical deadbolt above it.

I’ve heard of intruders like this. Are they not stealing anything of real value, just moving around items of yours, hiding things?

Asked by De La Rosa over 6 years ago
