Deadbolt Lock Installation Process

Installation Done Right The First Time

We measure twice and cut once. Every deadbolt installation starts with assessing your door thickness, frame condition, and security needs. The drilling has to be precise – too large and your lock sits loose, too small and it binds up.

Strike plate placement matters more than most people realize. If it’s not perfectly aligned with your door frame, even the best deadbolt won’t protect you. We use proper wood screws that actually reach your wall studs, not the short screws that come with most locks.

Your door’s security is only as strong as its weakest point. That’s why we evaluate the entire entry system, not just where the deadbolt goes.

Deadbolt Replacement Service

Upgrading Your Current Door Lock

Old deadbolts fail when you need them most. Worn cylinders, loose strike plates, and outdated lock mechanisms give criminals easy access to your home. We replace failing hardware with Grade 1 deadbolts that meet current security standards.

Every deadbolt replacement includes checking your door frame for damage or wear. Sometimes the lock isn’t the problem – it’s how the previous installer mounted it. We fix the underlying issues so your new deadbolt actually protects your family.

You’ll know immediately when the job is done right. The key turns smoothly, the bolt slides firmly into place, and your door feels solid when locked.

Deadbolt Installation FAQs

Common questions about our Deadbolt Installation services

Deadbolt installation typically costs between $70-$300 depending on the lock type and door conditions. Basic single-cylinder deadbolts with professional installation start around $75, while high-security or smart deadbolts can cost up to $300. The investment pays for itself through potential insurance discounts and the security protection it provides. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and the cost includes the deadbolt, professional installation, and testing to ensure everything works perfectly.
Professional installation ensures your deadbolt actually works when tested by criminals. DIY installations often fail because homeowners lack the specialized tools for precise hole drilling, don’t understand proper strike plate mounting, or choose incompatible hardware for their door type. We measure door thickness, assess frame condition, and use the right screws to reach wall studs. A poorly installed deadbolt is worse than no deadbolt – it gives false security while remaining vulnerable to forced entry.
Most deadbolt installations take 30-60 minutes depending on door condition and lock complexity. New installations on doors without existing holes take longer than replacements. Smart deadbolts or high-security locks may require additional setup time. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards – rushing deadbolt installation leads to problems later. The time investment ensures your lock operates smoothly and provides reliable security for years.
Yes, we install deadbolts on all door materials including wood, metal, fiberglass, and composite doors. Metal doors require specialized drill bits and techniques to prevent damage during installation. Fiberglass doors need careful handling to avoid cracking around the lock area. Each material has specific requirements for proper installation, which is why professional installation matters. We have the right tools and experience to work with any door type while maintaining the door’s integrity and appearance.
Grade 1 deadbolts offer the highest security for residential use and are worth the investment for most homeowners. Grade 2 deadbolts provide excellent protection at a moderate price point and work well for standard residential applications. Grade 3 deadbolts meet basic security needs but may not deter determined criminals. We recommend Grade 1 or 2 deadbolts for front doors and Grade 2 for back doors. The grade affects how much force the lock can withstand and how long it lasts under regular use.
Yes, we warranty both our installation workmanship and the deadbolt hardware we provide. Installation work is guaranteed against defects for one year, covering issues like loose mounting, strike plate problems, or operational failures due to installation errors. Hardware warranties vary by manufacturer but typically cover defects for several years. We use quality deadbolts from reputable manufacturers and stand behind our work. If you experience any problems with your deadbolt installation, we’ll return to make it right at no additional charge.
