Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Check the proposed smart lock against the existing door preparation, alignment and intended use. Discuss power, connectivity, recovery access and the product's supported functions before choosing hardware. Agree on setup responsibilities, credential handover and the checks that will demonstrate normal operation for the occupants.

Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Kissimmee
Local context
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public licence search covering the professions and businesses the department regulates. If a provider quotes a state licence number for security or electrical work, the number can be checked there — and it is fair to ask what the licence actually covers, since the search only reflects professions DBPR regulates. Local registration and insurance are separate questions worth asking about as well.
Source ↗Planning your work
The City of Kissimmee's permitting notice describes the state law in effect from 1 July 2026 as removing the permit requirement for a narrow set of small, non-trade home projects, and states that electrical, plumbing, mechanical or gas work needs a permit with no exceptions. The exemption route applies only under $7,500 and outside a flood zone, and an approved form is kept on site for the duration of the work. Osceola County permits addresses outside the Kissimmee and St. Cloud city limits, so a Kissimmee address is handled by the city. Confirm which applies before lock, door-hardware and entry-security work begins.
