Baldwin smart locks with keypads add local code-based entry at the door, while models without keypads rely on an integrated automation system for access management and remote lock control. Choose a keypad configuration when users need direct entry codes, or a non-keypad configuration when the project manages access through a connected Control4 system and does not require a keypad at the door.

Installers should review that Baldwin smart locks are not Zigbee routing nodes, so the network may need Control4 light switches, dimmers, or other repeating devices installed first. They should also identify the locks near their final installation points and confirm that the selected lock supports the Control4 system.

Baldwin smart locks integrate with compatible Control4 installations through a built-in Zigbee radio, allowing the lock to become part of a home security and automation scene. Depending on the configuration, users can manage the lock remotely through an internet-connected system, while keypad and non-keypad options support different entry setups.

When selecting Baldwin smart locks, compare whether the door needs a deadbolt replacement with a keypad or a version without one, and choose a finish such as satin nickel, polished chrome, polished brass, or oil-rubbed bronze that suits the surrounding hardware. For installation, verify Control4 compatibility, account for the lock’s Zigbee connection requirements, and plan for nearby repeating devices because these locks do not serve as Zigbee routing nodes.
