Omega Locksmith sells and professionally installs the Lockly Guard Defender 238LM Doorman Edition for compatible aluminum-framed glass storefront doors in Chicago.
Upgrade a supported storefront entrance from ordinary keys to fingerprint, PIN, RFID credential and mobile-app access—while retaining an emergency physical-key option.
A Smart Lock Designed for Storefront Entrances
The Lockly Guard Defender 238LM Doorman Edition is designed for compatible narrow-frame commercial entrances, especially aluminum storefront doors with glass panels and mortise-style deadlatch hardware. This is not a general residential smart lock and it is not the Defender 238LE panic-bar model.
Omega Locksmith can supply the lock, evaluate the existing storefront opening, complete the required mechanical installation, configure the supported credentials and show the authorized manager how to operate the system.
Ways Authorized Users Can Unlock the Door
3D Fingerprint
Enroll up to 99 fingerprints for quick entry without a key, card or memorized code.
PIN Genie Keypad
Create up to 49 PIN access codes. Lockly’s PIN Genie touchscreen changes number locations to make code observation more difficult.
MIFARE RFID
Use supported cards, fobs, tags or stickers. The system supports up to 999 MIFARE credentials when configured for the applicable management platform.
Mobile App
Bluetooth and the included Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub support app-based control, monitoring and supported remote functions.
Temporary Access
Issue supported offline access codes or eBadges for employees, vendors, cleaners and other approved visitors.
Physical Backup Key
A rekeyable SC4 six-pin cylinder and two physical keys provide a mechanical backup method.
Useful for Employee and Vendor Access
The 238LM can reduce the need to distribute conventional keys to every person who needs storefront access. An authorized manager can assign individual credentials and remove supported credentials when employment or vendor access ends.

Storefront Door Compatibility
| Opening detail | What Omega verifies |
|---|---|
| Door construction | Aluminum or compatible narrow-framed glass storefront door with enough usable stile width. |
| Existing lock preparation | Mortise/deadlatch type, backset, faceplate, actuator and whether an adapter or replacement deadlatch is required. |
| Inside operation | Existing lever, paddle or push/pull hardware and the required method of free egress. |
| Door condition | Door alignment, pivots or hinges, closer operation, latch engagement and frame condition. |
| Network placement | Suitable location and connectivity for the included Secure Link Wi-Fi Hub and door sensor. |

The 238LM is commonly associated with narrow-stile mortise/deadlatch preparations, including 1⅛-inch backset applications. Do not purchase based on backset alone; the complete opening must be checked.

The Door Matters as Much as the Smart Lock
A smart lock cannot correct a storefront door that drags, sags, slams or fails to latch. Omega evaluates related pivots, hinges, closer, frame and latch alignment so the complete opening can operate reliably.
