Advanced Deadbolt Installation Technology for Pike Creek 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 Pike Creek properties.

"Stolen purse meant I needed all new car keys immediately. Kwikey came out that same evening, replaced the key, and reprogrammed the car so the stolen fob would not work anymore."
"Locked out of my truck at a job site with all my tools inside. Kwikey came out and opened it so I could get back to work. No damage to the truck at all."
"Commercial door closer failed and the door would not stay shut. Kwikey replaced the closer mechanism, adjusted the sweep and latch speeds, and the door works perfectly now."
Everything You Need to Know About Deadbolt Installation
How can I secure my sliding glass door?
Sliding doors are vulnerable points.. We recommend a security bar in the track, anti-lift pins in the frame, and a sliding door lock that engages at multiple points.. We install all of these and can assess your specific door.
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.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks?
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. Pike Creek families choose us for dependable home security service.
What lock options are best for homes with small children?
We recommend locks with interior thumb-turns (no key needed to exit — critical for fire safety), child-proof deadbolt covers for curious toddlers, and smart locks with auto-lock features.. We can also install chain guards at adult height for additional interior security.
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 Pike Creek residents.
Can you reinforce my door frame for better security?
Yes.. A quality deadbolt is only as strong as the frame holding it.. We install reinforcement kits with 3-inch screws that anchor into the wall stud, strike plate reinforcements, and door edge guards.. This dramatically increases kick-in resistance.

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.
