The Kwikey Protocol for Deadbolt Installation
1

Consultation & Hardware Selection

We assess your door, discuss your security needs and budget, and recommend the right deadbolt grade and brand for your situation.

2

Professional Installation

We bore the hole (if needed), install the deadbolt with proper alignment, and use 3-inch screws in the strike plate for maximum kick resistance.

3

Testing & Key Cutting

We test the deadbolt from both sides, verify smooth operation, and cut any additional keys you need.

"Needed a panic bar with alarm on our warehouse emergency exit. Kwikey sourced the exact hardware spec our insurance company required and installed it perfectly. The audible alarm works great and the door latches securely from the outside. Very professional crew."

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Deadbolt Installation
Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more

We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.

Should I rekey or replace my locks? expand_more

Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.

What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more

These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street.

What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more

We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.

I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more

Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.

Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more

Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.
