Why Folsom Trusts Us for Deadbolt Installation

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. We see this regularly across Folsom properties.

"Bedroom door lock suddenly stopped working — handle turned but nothing engaged. Kwikey found the latch assembly had failed internally. Replaced the mechanism and tested the door from both sides. Great work under pressure since my elderly mother was locked in the room."

This simple reinforcement makes your door dramatically more resistant to forced entry.
