Many homeowners like the idea of secure package delivery but hesitate when they picture construction, disruption, or a complicated renovation project. The Lockerly installation process is simple, clean, and done in 90 minutes. Understanding what happens before, during, and after installation is important when deciding if Lockerly is right for you. 

Lockerly is designed as a permanent home upgrade that integrates into your home and protects deliveries without requiring power, Wi-Fi, apps, subscriptions, or special delivery arrangements.

Before Installation: What Homeowners Should Know First

Before installation begins, a Lockerly team member will conduct an inspection to confirm the desired location supports long-term package security without disrupting the home's appearance or functionality.

Where Lockerly Is Installed

Lockerly installs through an exterior wall, allowing packages to be delivered into a garage or an interior space on the other side of the wall. Before installation begins, the team evaluates wall conditions, structural requirements, and available space to confirm that the location is suitable. This review confirms adequate clearance and checks for conditions that could affect placement, including wiring, plumbing, and other wall components.

The result is a planned installation location that supports both functionality and appearance.

What Makes a Home a Good Fit

Installation approaches vary based on the home's construction. For example, wood-framed walls and masonry walls require different installation methods. The installation team also reviews clearance requirements, wall components, and delivery accessibility before work begins.

Homeowners planning a renovation or building a new home will have additional flexibility when selecting the ideal location because package delivery access and interior retrieval can be incorporated into the overall design plan.

The confirmed location must support secure package delivery while maintaining the home's appearance and functionality.

Lockerly functions as a permanent upgrade that integrates into the home while simplifying package delivery.

If you're planning a broader home renovation, a built-in solution can naturally fit into those plans.

What Is Included in Installation

Professional installation includes the core work required to place the unit and prepare it for use. 

Homeowners evaluating the project can review additional details about Lockerly's professional installation process before deciding whether their home is a fit.

This typically includes:

• Creating the wall opening

• Framing or masonry support as required

• Mounting the Lockerly unit

• Applying sealant and trim

• Testing operation before completion

Lockerly is the security solution that stops theft before it happens. 

What May Require Extra Planning

Some homes require additional evaluation before installation.

Examples include:

• Electrical components located within the installation area

• Plumbing or gas lines in the wall

• Low-voltage wiring

• HVAC components

• Insulation challenges

• Extensive stucco or finish reconstruction beyond standard installation work

Identifying these conditions early establishes accurate expectations before installation begins.

During Installation: What the Process Looks Like

Lockerly installation follows a defined sequence: site verification, opening preparation, support work as needed, unit installation, sealing, and final testing. The process is professionally managed and takes 90 minutes, depending on wall type and site conditions.

Most homeowners want to know what happens on installation day.

The process follows a clear sequence that moves efficiently from planning to final operation.

Step 1: Site Check and Marking the Opening

Installation begins with a final review of the chosen location.

The installer verifies measurements, confirms placement, evaluates wall conditions, and marks the opening before work proceeds.

Step 2: Cutting and Reinforcing the Opening

Once measurements are confirmed, the wall opening is created.

Depending on the wall construction, framing or masonry support is incorporated to provide proper structural support for the installation.

This step prepares the space for the permanent placement of the unit.

Step 3: Setting the Unit in Place

The Lockerly unit is positioned within the opening and adjusted for proper fit and alignment.

The installer ensures the unit sits level and integrates cleanly with the surrounding wall, reinforcing the built-in appearance that distinguishes it from stand-alone delivery boxes.

Step 4: Securing and Sealing

After placement, the unit is secured and finished.

Fasteners, sealants, trim elements, and weather-tight finishing measures complete the installation and support long-term performance.

The finished installation is designed to provide a weather-resistant barrier between the exterior and interior spaces.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough

Before the installation is considered complete, the installer performs a final operational review.

The homeowner is shown how deliveries enter through the exterior access point and drop safely into the designated interior space.

The installer will answer any questions before leaving the site.

After Installation: What Everyday Use Actually Feels Like

The installation process matters, but homeowners ultimately care about daily life after the upgrade is complete. This is where the long-term value becomes apparent.

Package Delivery Becomes Simpler

Delivery drivers place packages through the exterior access point.

Packages are moved into the protected interior drop zone, where they remain shielded from the weather and unauthorized access.

Lockerly uses a one-way drop mechanism that allows deliveries to move into the protected interior space as part of its delivery workflow.

Lockerly works with deliveries regardless of carrier and does not require special integrations, codes, apps, or subscriptions.

The House Still Looks Like Home

Many homeowners worry that a delivery solution will look added on or out of place.

Lockerly is designed as a built-in installation that integrates with the home's exterior rather than sitting on the porch as a separate structure.

For homeowners who value both security and curb appeal, the result is package protection that feels like part of the home rather than an afterthought added beside it.

Ongoing Ownership Is Low-Maintenance

Lockerly operates without:

• Power

• Wi-Fi

• Mobile apps

• Monthly subscriptions

Its passive delivery design and U.S. Steel construction help keep ownership simple and focused on everyday use.

See Installation Details and Next Steps

The installation process follows a defined sequence, takes 90 minutes depending on wall type and site conditions, and is designed to integrate directly into the home rather than sit beside it as a separate structure.

If you're evaluating whether Lockerly fits your home, focus on three questions:

• Is there a suitable exterior wall location that provides access to a garage or interior drop zone?

• Do package deliveries create ongoing concerns around security, convenience, or retrieval timing?

• Would a built-in solution fit naturally with your home's layout and long-term plans?

If the answer to those questions is yes, connect with a Lockerly specialist and join early adopters in stopping porch pirates for good.
