Why should I hire a pro for lock installation?

While “DIY” videos make it look easy, a slightly misaligned strike plate can make a lock easy to bypass or prone to jamming. We ensure the door, frame, and hardware are perfectly synced for maximum security and smooth operation. Professional installation also preserves the warranty on your expensive hardware.

What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 3 locks?

Grade 1 is the highest level of residential and commercial security, designed to withstand significant force and high-traffic use. Grade 3 is your basic “big box store” lock, which is fine for a closet but maybe not your front door. We typically recommend Grade 1 or 2 for any exterior entry point.

Can I have one key for all my new locks?

Yes, this is one of our most requested services during a fresh installation. As long as the locks use the same keyway, we can “key them alike” so your pockets aren’t weighed down by a massive ring of keys. It is a simple convenience that makes daily life much easier.

Are smart locks as secure as traditional locks?

Modern smart locks from reputable brands offer the same physical security as traditional deadbolts with added digital convenience. They use encrypted signals to prevent hacking and can come with a plethora of access control features such as remote locking/unlocking, scheduling , and/or “activity logs” so you know who enters and when. We can help you pick the right product for your needs.

How long does it take to install a new lock?

This all depends on the conditions of the existing door and frame, the complexity of the lock, and what material the door is made of. For example, swapping out an existing deadbolt on a door would be much quicker than installing a mortise lock in a solid uncut wood door. Whatever the case may be, our goal is to ensure your property is secure in the time you need it to be.
