Solving Your Deadbolt Installation Challenges in Collingdale

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.

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.

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

Security Tips & Warranty

We show you proper use, explain maintenance, and provide warranty information for your new hardware.

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Deadbolt Installation

Where should I keep spare keys? expand_more

Never under the doormat, flowerpot, or fake rock—burglars check these first. Give a spare to a trusted neighbor instead. Smart locks eliminate this worry entirely. We can also install a secure key lockbox that requires a code.

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.

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.

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.

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 long will the locksmith service take? expand_more

The duration of our locksmith services varies based on the complexity of the hardware. Most emergency vehicle and home lockouts are resolved professionally in a single visit. Technical rekeying is a relatively quick process per cylinder, while complex automotive programming or high-security hardware installation may require additional time. We provide an honest duration estimate during our initial diagnostic assessment.

Deadbolt Installation in Delaware & Pennsylvania

A properly installed deadbolt is your front door's most important defense. 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.
