Comprehensive Deadbolt Installation Strategies in Wayne
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.
Luxury Estate Security
Wayne's prestigious estates require high-end security including smart locks, access control, and high-security hardware.
Main Line Standard
Wayne residents expect premium service quality matching their distinguished community.
Commuter Station Lockouts
Wayne's Paoli/Thorndale SEPTA station sees daily commuters who occasionally lock keys in their cars. Our mobile units respond professionally to station parking areas.

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.
"Upscale home needed high-security Medeco locks throughout. Tech was knowledgeable about bump-resistant and pick-proof options. Installed 4 exterior deadbolts with restricted keyway—can only be duplicated through authorized channels."
"Locked keys in my Mercedes at the country club. Embarrassing but Kwikey was extremely discreet. Got me in professionally, no damage, no fuss. They understand the value of discretion. Very professional!"
"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.
