Door Lock Installation FAQs

Dealing with misaligned holes, securing a new deadbolt, or installing complicated smart lock technology doesn’t have to compromise your home’s security. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients ask about our professional door lock installation, smart lock setup, and security upgrade services.

Can you install a brand-new deadbolt on a door that currently only has a doorknob?

Yes, absolutely. We frequently perform this security upgrade. Installing a new deadbolt involves precisely boring two separate holes into the door—one for the lock cylinder and one for the bolt—and mortising the door jamb for the strike plate. We ensure all parts are fitted perfectly so the deadbolt operates smoothly and provides the maximum security your home needs.

I bought a smart lock (keypad/Wi-Fi). Can you handle the installation and setup?

We certainly can. We install all types of smart locks, including those with keypads, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi capabilities. Our service includes the mechanical installation of the hardware (ensuring proper alignment) and the initial basic setup of the electronic components, ensuring the lock pairs correctly and functions as intended before we leave.

Do I need to buy the new lock hardware before my appointment?

Yes, we recommend you purchase the new lockset, deadbolt, or smart lock beforehand. This ensures you get the exact style, finish, and features you want for your home. Just have the new hardware ready at the door you want to be secured, and we will bring all the necessary tools and expertise to perform a seamless installation.
