Deadbolt Installation

Standard door knobs offer minimal protection against forced entry. We provide professional Deadbolt Installation to significantly enhance your home security. Our technicians ensure precise alignment and secure mounting, creating a robust barrier that effectively resists kick-ins and physical attacks.

Professional Deadbolt Installation

Relying solely on a standard doorknob lock leaves your home vulnerable to forced entry. We specialize in Deadbolt Installation to add a critical layer of heavy-duty security to your exterior doors. Our mobile technicians arrive fully equipped to drill, align, and install high-quality deadbolts on wood or metal doors, ensuring the hardware is mounted precisely to resist physical attacks and kick-ins.

Why Homeowners Trust Our Installation

An improperly installed deadbolt often fails to extend fully or misaligns with the strike plate, compromising its strength. Homeowners choose us because we use precise installation templates and tools to ensure the bolt engages deeply into the door frame. We do not rely on shortcuts; instead, we reinforce the strike plates to provide genuine protection rather than just the appearance of security.

  • Clear Communication We evaluate your specific door material and security needs to provide a transparent cost estimate before starting the installation.

  • Professional Equipment We use specialized installation jigs and hole saws to drill precise openings, preventing splintering or damage to the door’s finish and structure.

  • Reliable Results We test the bolt’s operation multiple times to guarantee it extends fully and operates smoothly without binding, ensuring the lock functions at its maximum security rating.

  • Expert Support Our technicians understand ANSI security grades and can reinforce the door frame with heavy-duty strike plates and longer screws for superior impact resistance.

FAQ'S

Answers to Your Deadbolt Installation Questions

1. Do I really need a deadbolt if my doorknob has a lock?

Yes. Doorknob locks rely on a spring latch that can often be “shimmed” or slipped open with a credit card or tool. A deadbolt, as the name implies, is “dead”—it cannot be pushed back once extended. It provides the primary physical barrier against forced entry.
Yes. We perform “fresh installations” on doors that currently lack a deadbolt. Our technicians use precise templates to drill the cross-bore and latch-bore holes and chisel the faceplate recess, ensuring a factory-perfect fit on wood, metal, or fiberglass doors.
If your new deadbolt uses the same keyway system (brand) as your existing doorknob, we can “key” them alike. This allows you to lock and unlock both the handle and the deadbolt with a single key for convenience.
A single cylinder has a key on the outside and a thumbturn on the inside; it is the most common and safest for emergency exits. A double cylinder requires a key on both sides. It is often used on doors with glass panels (to prevent intruders from breaking the glass and reaching in to unlock it), but please check local fire codes regarding emergency egress.
A deadbolt significantly increases resistance, but the door frame is often the weak point. For maximum kick-in protection, we recommend upgrading to a security strike plate installed with 3-inch screws that anchor deep into the wall studs, rather than just the soft wood of the door jamb.
