Standard Smart Locks: Baldwin Evolved smart locks offer Bluetooth control, remote unlocking, and digital keys. They’re engineered with concealed technology to maintain Baldwin’s iconic style.
Retrofit Smart Options: Some tubular models are compatible with third-party interior smart lock modules (e.g. Kevo or SmartKey platforms) while keeping Baldwin’s decorative exterior unchanged.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
Baldwin locks are designer-grade, and while tubular models may seem straightforward, mortise sets or smart locks require professional handling to ensure smooth operation and avoid cosmetic damage.
DIY Pros: Lower cost on basic knob/lever sets and tubular latches if prepped doors exist.
DIY Cons: Risk of scratching finishes, incorrect alignment, improper smart module setup, or damaging mortise pockets.
Professional Pros: Precision installation, correct cylinder setup, smooth latch operation, warranty-backed labor, and aesthetic preservation of high-end hardware.
Professional Cons: Slightly higher initial cost, but much lower long-term frustration and rework risk.
