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.

"Had Kwikey change all the locks at our dental office after a staff member left on bad terms. They rekeyed seven doors and the supply closet in a single afternoon. Every lock keyed to the new master key system. Zero disruption to our patients."

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Deadbolt Installation
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.

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.

Are you professionally insured? expand_more

Yes. Kwikey Locksmith is a fully insured professional entity. Every technician on our team undergoes rigorous background verification and continuous technical auditing to maintain our enterprise-grade service standards.

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.

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.

Do smart locks need WiFi to work? expand_more

Not necessarily. Many smart locks work with Bluetooth for proximity unlocking. WiFi is only needed for remote access when you're away from home. We can recommend the right option based on your needs and existing tech setup.
