Overview
Wyze Wyze Lock Bolt setup takes under 15 minutes for most users — if you're stuck, the steps below target the specific points where installs stall.
This guide covers the installation of the Wyze Lock Bolt, a Bluetooth fingerprint deadbolt that replaces your existing deadbolt with biometric and app-based access. Installation includes door hardware removal, Wyze Lock Bolt mechanical installation, fingerprint enrollment, and Wyze app pairing for access logs and additional PIN code management.
Why This Happens in Real Homes
The Wyze Lock Bolt is a full deadbolt replacement with a fingerprint reader, not an add-on over your existing lock, so compatibility is the first thing to confirm: a 1.375-2 inch door with a standard bore and the right backset. Most installs are a quick screwdriver job once that's verified.
It pairs over Bluetooth (no WiFi radio), so keep your phone's Bluetooth on during setup, and don't skip the in-app calibration — the lock needs to learn its locked and unlocked positions. If the bolt binds, fix the strike alignment rather than forcing it; a bolt that drags will chew through batteries and eventually fail to lock.

- Removing the old deadbolt
- Bolt binds or will not turn smoothly
