Localized Middletown Security Challenges

New Construction Security

Middletown's rapid growth means many new homes with builder-grade locks that should be upgraded. New homeowners also need to ensure previous workers don't have access.

Commuter-Friendly Service

Many Middletown residents commute to Wilmington, Philadelphia, or Delaware offices. We offer convenient scheduling and can work around commuter schedules.

New Construction Rekeying

With rapid residential growth, new homeowners in Middletown should rekey from builder keys immediately. We handle bulk rekeying for new developments and custom home builds.

Step-by-Step Deadbolt Installation Mastery
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.

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.

Testing & Key Cutting

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

"Deadbolt wouldn't latch — the bolt was extending but missing the strike plate. Turned out the door had shifted slightly. Kwikey realigned the strike plate and adjusted the bolt throw. Lock works perfectly now. Quick fix that saved us from a costly door replacement."

Everything You Need to Know About Deadbolt Installation
What information do you need when I call? expand_more

For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.

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.

How can I secure my sliding glass door? expand_more

Sliding doors are vulnerable points. We recommend a security bar in the track, anti-lift pins in the frame, and a sliding door lock that engages at multiple points. We install all of these and can assess your specific door.

How soon can you get to me? expand_more

Arrival times are subject to location, traffic conditions, and current dispatch volume. We prioritize emergency lockout requests and maintain a network of mobile technicians across the region to ensure a professional response. We provide an honest, professional arrival estimate during your initial consultation and maintain active communication as our technicians depart.

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.

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.
