Before Adding Your Door Lock

1. Download the Xfinity app on the App Store or Google Play.
2. Confirm your door lock is compatible with Xfinity xFi and supports Zigbee.
   
   • Note: If you're installing a Kwikset Convert, ensure it's compatible with your existing door’s hardware.
3. Install your door lock according to the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Kwikset requires a Phillips screwdriver – make sure you have one handy.
4. If you have multiple door locks, you’ll need to pair each one individually.

Setting Requirements

Your xFi Gateway must be activated before you can set up your door lock. To activate and control your door lock from the Xfinity app, make sure your xFi Gateway isn’t in Bridge Mode. Door lock activation also requires a supported mobile operating system.
