Precision Deadbolt Installation Deployment in Upper Darby
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.
High-Density Housing
Upper Darby's apartments, row homes, and multi-family buildings require locksmiths experienced with building access, unit rekeying, and working with property managers.
Public Transit Corridor
The 69th Street Terminal area sees high foot traffic and diverse security needs, from commuter car lockouts to business security.
Diverse Property Types
From Drexel Hill's single-family homes to Lansdowne's historic rowhouses, Upper Darby requires locksmiths familiar with varied lock types and security needs.
Multi-Family Property Access
Upper Darby has thousands of duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings. Landlords need reliable rekeying between tenants, and tenants need reliable lockout response day or night.

Why Our Deadbolt Installation Standards Lead the Industry
The Kwikey Protocol for Deadbolt Installation
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.
"Our office building's push bar was loose and the door wasn't closing properly — huge security risk. Kwikey replaced the entire crash bar assembly, adjusted the door closer, and ensured the latch catches every time. Building management was thrilled with the work."
"Locked my purse in the car at ShopRite with my daughter's car seat inside. Called Kwikey and they prioritized because of the child seat situation. Tech was there professionally. Amazing response!"
"My ignition was stuck and I couldn't start my car. Called the dealership first—they wanted a premium and a tow. Kwikey fixed it in my driveway for much less. Wish I'd called them first!"
Expertly Resolved FAQ: Deadbolt Installation
Where should I keep spare keys? expand_more
Never under the doormat, flowerpot, or fake rock—burglars check these first. Give a spare to a trusted neighbor instead. Smart locks eliminate this worry entirely. We can also install a secure key lockbox that requires a code.
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.
How many keys do I get when you rekey my locks? expand_more
Standard rekeying includes 2 new keys per lock. Need more? We can cut additional copies on-site at a small per-key charge. If you have multiple locks, we can key them all alike so one key opens everything.
Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more
Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.
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.
Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more
Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.

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.
