Comprehensive Deadbolt Installation Strategies in Wayne

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.

Want Smart Deadbolt for Keyless Entry

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.

"Patio door lock froze during the cold snap and I couldn't secure the house. Kwikey came out, thawed and lubricated the mechanism, replaced the worn cylinder pins, and tested it repeatedly. Lock operates like brand new. Lifesaver during winter."

Solving Deadbolt Installation Queries for Wayne

Do you install smart locks? expand_more

Yes! We install and program smart locks from leading brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more. We can help you choose the right smart lock for your needs.

Do smart locks need WiFi to work? expand_more

Not necessarily. Many smart locks work with Bluetooth for proximity unlocking. WiFi is only needed for remote access when you're away from home. We can recommend the right option based on your needs and existing tech setup.

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.

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.

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.

Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more

We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.

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.
