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.

"Deadbolt was not latching fully. Kwikey realigned the strike plate, deepened the mortise slightly, and now it seats firmly every time. Small fix but made a huge difference in security."

"We needed card reader access for our warehouse. Kwikey set up the entire system with magnetic locks and programmed all employee cards. Integration with our existing security cameras was seamless."

"Got duplicate keys made for both our family cars. Kwikey did a Toyota and a Hyundai back to back in my driveway. Both keys work perfectly with the push-button start systems."

Solving Deadbolt Installation Queries for New Castle
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 if I'm not satisfied with the work? expand_more

We provide a 90-day service commitment on all workmanship and hardware installations. If you encounter any operational issues during this period, we will return to your location for a diagnostic assessment and resolution as part of our service pledge. Your security and peace of mind are our primary operational priorities.
