WHAT WE INSTALL

Locks Sized and Graded for the Job

Not every door needs the same hardware. We walk you through what fits your door and your budget before we quote anything.

Standard Deadbolts

A reliable single-cylinder or double-cylinder deadbolt installed on an existing door, matched to your current hardware and finish where possible.

High-Security Grade Upgrades

Higher security-grade cylinders and hardware for homeowners upgrading after a break-in attempt or simply wanting stronger resistance to picking and drilling.

Full Lockset Replacement

Handle, lockset, and deadbolt replaced together — common when hardware is worn, mismatched, or being updated as part of a renovation.

Repair Instead of Replace

A stiff or partially-working lock repaired instead of replaced outright, when that’s the cheaper honest option.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Deadbolt Is What Actually Resists Forced Entry

A simple spring-latch lock on its own can be defeated fairly easily. A properly installed deadbolt — with a long enough throw bolt and a reinforced strike plate — is what actually resists kicking and prying. If your door only has a doorknob lock, adding a deadbolt is one of the highest-value security upgrades you can make to a home.

OUR PROCESS

What Happens When You Call for an Install

  1. You call. Tell us what door you’re working with and what you want — a straightforward deadbolt, an upgrade, or a full lockset replacement.
  2. You get a real price range on the spot, based on the hardware you choose.
  3. We confirm the price before starting — including the hardware cost, not just labor.
  4. We install and test the lock, checking strike plate alignment and smooth operation.
  5. You get new keys immediately, and we walk you through how the new hardware works.
INSTALLATION FAQ

Common Questions About Lock Installation

Can you install a deadbolt on a door that’s never had one?

In most cases, yes — we can bore and install a new deadbolt on a door that currently only has a doorknob lock, matched to your door’s thickness and existing hardware finish.

Do you supply the lock, or do I need to buy it myself?

Either works. We can supply and install hardware at the quoted price, or install a lock you’ve already purchased — just let us know when you call so we can quote labor accurately.

What’s the difference between a repair and a replacement?

A repair fixes a stiff, sticking, or partially-working lock without replacing the hardware — usually cheaper. Replacement makes sense when the hardware itself is damaged, outdated, or you want a security or style upgrade.

How long does a standard deadbolt installation take?

A single deadbolt installation on an existing door typically takes 30–45 minutes. A full lockset replacement may take a bit longer.
