No, a smart door lock does not open such a secondary lock. Basically think of a smartlock as a replacement of your existing deadbolt, bujt instead of just a keyhole on the outside and the lever on the inside you throw or turn to lock/unlock, the smart door lock also has a small box mounted on

Janet, I believe there are locks which can use an existing setup, but typically the smartlock is the deadbolt and you are much better off with a good Schlage, August, Wiser, Yale or other smartlock than to try and put something over an existing deadbolt which will turn it. Most of such locks

Hi Janet, no to both questions. There's another company, that has one that works out for the security system. However, you could have a ring doorbell also set up as well. Your deadbolt that you currently have, would come off of the door. And the keypad in the lock would be the new replacement.
