Solving Your Deadbolt Installation Challenges in Havertown
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.
Dense Residential Areas
Havertown's densely packed neighborhoods mean parking challenges during lockouts. We're skilled at navigating tight residential streets.
Older Home Lock Systems
Many Havertown homes date to the mid-20th century with various lock generations. We service locks of all ages and styles.
School Zone Family Security
Havertown families near top-rated schools prioritize home security. We provide child-safe lock solutions and smart locks with parental access controls.

Specialized Deadbolt Installation Solutions Provided
Our Professional Deadbolt Installation Workflow
Consultation & Hardware Selection
We assess your door, discuss your security needs and budget, and recommend the right deadbolt grade and brand for your situation.
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.
Testing & Key Cutting
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.
"Needed a spare transponder key before lending my car to my college kid. Got one programmed to my Honda professionally at my house. Now I have peace of mind that she has a backup. Smart investment!"
"Needed high-security locks for our jewelry store. The tech explained our options, recommended Medeco, and installed them the next day. Also set up a master key system for staff access. Very knowledgeable!"
"Lost the only key to our wall-mounted mailbox. Kwikey opened it without damage, replaced the lock with a new cam lock, and handed me two fresh keys. The whole thing took about fifteen minutes. Super efficient service."
Solving Deadbolt Installation Queries for Havertown
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.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.
Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more
Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.

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.
