Advanced Deadbolt Installation Technology for Newport Residents

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.

How We Master Deadbolt Installation in Newport

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.

Everything You Need to Know About Deadbolt Installation

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.

What areas do you serve? expand_more

Our mobile service units provide professional coverage across New Castle County, Delaware, and the Greater Philadelphia region, including Chester and Delaware counties. Whether you are in Wilmington, Newark, West Chester, or Media, we bring our specialized equipment directly to your location.

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.

Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more

It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.

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 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.

Route 141 Corridor Locksmith Service

Newport sits along one of New Castle County's busiest commuter routes. Our mobile locksmith units are positioned to respond professionally to emergencies along the Route 141 corridor — from car lockouts at shopping centers to commercial lock changes for local businesses.

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.
