"Someone broke into our garage and damaged the side entry door lock. Kwikey came out and replaced both the knob and deadbolt with high-security Schlage locks. They also reinforced the door frame with a heavy-duty strike plate. We finally feel safe again."

"Had Kwikey install a keypad access system at our office building. The technician programmed individual codes for each employee and showed us how to manage the system. Clean installation with no damage to the door frames."

Solving Smart Lock Installation Queries for Hockessin
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.

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 However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.
