Miami / condo install notes
- Corridor doors — many associations ban drilling into fire-rated corridor faces or shared low-voltage. Battery doorbells on the unit side are often the only path.
- Transformer check — hardwired doorbells need adequate voltage; we test before promising chime + camera power.
- Door prep — swollen Miami humidity doors may need plane/adjust ($119*) or hinge work ($99*) before a smart lock throws cleanly.
- Wi-Fi — entry hardware often wants 2.4 GHz; bring the network password. We pair the app with you before leaving.
* Minimum visit $200 — smaller jobs can be combined into one visit.
