Advanced Deadbolt Installation Technology for Newport Residents
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 Newport properties.

Everything You Need to Know About Deadbolt Installation
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home?
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. We bring professional-grade home security solutions to Newport residents.
What areas do you serve?
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?
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?
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.
What do lock grades mean and which should I choose?
ANSI grades rate lock durability: Grade 1 is highest (commercial-duty, 800,000 cycles), Grade 2 is residential-heavy (400,000 cycles), and Grade 3 is basic residential. For exterior doors, we recommend Grade 2 minimum. Grade 1 for high-security needs. Newport residents appreciate our attention to detail on residential jobs.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
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.

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.

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