"Lock repair on our back door that had been sticking for years. Turns out the lock was worn out, not the door. Tech replaced it with a quality Kwikset and it works perfectly. Should have called sooner!"

Common Deadbolt Installation Questions in Hockessin
Can I change locks if I'm renting? expand_more

Check your lease first—most landlords allow it if you provide them a copy of the new key. We recommend rekeying rather than replacing so you can give the old keys back when you move. Many landlords appreciate tenants who take security seriously.

Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more

Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.

Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more

It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.

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.

Are your locksmiths background checked? expand_more

Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team. We also carry full insurance. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.

Are your locksmiths background-verified? expand_more

Yes, every technician on our team undergoes rigorous multi-stage background verification and carries comprehensive professional insurance. We prioritize your security by ensuring our staff are verified experts in residential, commercial, and automotive lock systems.
