Precision Lock Installation Deployment in Upper Darby

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.

Local Feedback from Upper Darby Neighbors

"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."

"We travel a lot and needed remote access to our front door. Kwikey recommended and installed the Schlage Encode Plus. Works with Apple HomeKey so I unlock with my Watch! Super convenient and secure."

Solving Lock Installation Queries for Upper Darby

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.

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.

Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more

It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.

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.

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 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.

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.
