Professional Deadbolt Installation Outcomes for Brookside Clients

warning

No Deadbolt — Just a Knob Lock

Knob locks can be defeated in seconds with a credit card or screwdriver. If your door only has a knob lock, adding a deadbolt is the single biggest security upgrade you can make.

Builder-Grade Deadbolt Feels Flimsy

New homes often come with cheap Grade 3 hardware. These deadbolts have short bolts, weak strike plates, and minimal pick resistance. Upgrading to Grade 1 or Grade 2 is straightforward and makes a huge difference.

Want Smart Deadbolt for Keyless Entry

Tired of carrying keys? Smart deadbolts let you unlock with your phone, a code, or fingerprint. We install and configure them properly — including Wi-Fi setup, backup keys, and auto-lock features.

New Home — Don't Trust Previous Owner's Locks

You have no idea how many copies of the existing keys are floating around. Installing new deadbolts or rekeying existing ones is standard practice when moving into a new home.

Door Frame Splits When Deadbolt Is Engaged

If your deadbolt is hard to throw or the frame flex is visible, the strike plate isn't properly anchored. We reinforce with a heavy-duty strike plate and 3-inch screws into the stud.

Solving Deadbolt Installation Queries for Brookside

Should I have a deadbolt on my garage entry door? expand_more

Absolutely. The door from your garage to your home is the most common break-in point. Once inside the garage, burglars work hidden from view. We recommend a high-quality deadbolt and solid-core door for this entry point.

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.

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 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.

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.

Kwikey Locksmith provides professional deadbolt installation throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia — from basic Grade 2 residential deadbolts to high-security Grade 1 commercial units and smart deadbolts with keyless entry.

Why the Strike Plate Matters More Than You Think

Most break-ins don't pick the lock — they kick the door in. The deadbolt holds, but the strike plate rips out of the soft trim wood. That's why every Kwikey deadbolt installation includes a heavy-duty strike plate secured with 3-inch screws that anchor into the structural stud behind the frame. This simple reinforcement makes your door dramatically more resistant to forced entry.

Smart Deadbolt Options for Modern Homes

Keyless entry isn't just convenient — it eliminates the risk of lost keys entirely. We install and configure smart deadbolts from Schlage, Yale, and August that let you unlock with your phone, a PIN code, or fingerprint. Every smart lock installation includes physical backup key setup, Wi-Fi configuration, and auto-lock feature programming so your home stays secure even when you forget.
