Securing Coatesville: Expert Lock Installation Insights
No Deadbolt—Just a Flimsy Knob Lock
That doorknob lock? A teenager with a credit card can bypass it. A proper deadbolt adds real security. If your entry door doesn't have one, you're not as protected as you think.
Locks Are Old, Worn, or Damaged
If your lock sticks, wiggles, or feels loose in the door, it's a security risk AND an eventual lockout waiting to happen. Replacement now prevents problems later.
New Door Needs Proper Locks
Installed a new exterior door or renovated an entryway? It needs professional lock installation to function correctly and provide real security—not just a lock shoved in a pre-drilled hole.
Smart Lock Is Still in the Box
You bought an August, Yale, Schlage, or Kwikset smart lock months ago. The instructions looked complicated. It's still sitting there. We set it up properly so it actually works with your phone.
Need to Upgrade Security After a Break-In
Someone kicked in your door or picked your lock. Now you need serious hardware—high-security deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, pick-resistant cylinders. We know what actually stops break-ins.
VA Medical Center Service
Coatesville VA Medical Center draws patients and staff who may need lockout assistance.

"Toddler locked me out while I was getting groceries from the car. Called Kwikey in a panic with my kid inside. They prioritized the call and got there professionally. I was so relieved. Thank you!"
"Needed push-to-start key programmed for my Nissan Rogue. Mobile tech came to my house, programmed the new fob professionally, and saved me the hassle of towing to the dealer. Highly recommend!"
"Lost my only Honda Accord key at the beach. Kwikey came to my house, cut a new key by VIN, and programmed the transponder chip on the spot. Works perfectly — starts every time. Way cheaper and faster than what the dealer quoted me."
Common Lock Installation Questions in Coatesville
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.
What areas do you serve? expand_more
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 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.
What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more
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.
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.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.

Professional Lock Installation in Delaware & Pennsylvania
Whether you're upgrading worn-out hardware, adding deadbolts, or finally installing that smart lock you bought six months ago, Kwikey Locksmith provides professional lock installation throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia. We don't just stick a lock in a hole—we ensure proper alignment, solid strike plate installation, and smooth operation that provides real security.
We Install It Right the First Time
A great lock poorly installed is a security liability. Misaligned deadbolts don't fully engage. Loose strike plates can be kicked in. Smart locks with wrong positioning don't read correctly. Our technicians understand the details that make locks actually work—proper depth, correct backset, solid frame attachment. You get security that functions, not just hardware hanging in your door.
Which Lock Should You Choose?
The right lock depends on what you're protecting. For front doors, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt provides serious resistance against forced entry. For interior doors, passage or privacy knobs are appropriate. For rental properties, consider smart locks with temporary access codes for tenants. And for maximum security, high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock offer pick-resistant and bump-resistant protection that standard hardware simply can't match.
