When you need a lock where there isn't one
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
New Door With No Lock At All
You added a door to your garage entry, basement, or a new room and it needs a lock from scratch. We drill the holes, cut the pockets, and install everything so it fits perfectly and works smoothly.
Old Locks That Look and Feel Terrible
The locks that came with your house are cheap, ugly, and barely functional. You want something that actually looks good and works well. We remove the old hardware and install quality replacements.
Moving In and Want Fresh Locks
You just bought a house and have no idea who has copies of the old keys. Rather than rekeying, you want brand new hardware - new locks, new keys, fresh start. We handle the full swap.
Adding a Lock to an Interior Door
Home office, bedroom, or storage room needs privacy or security. We install the right type of lock for interior use - whether that's a privacy knob or a keyed lock.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

(302) 551-2550How we install your new lock
- 1
Tell Us About Your Door
What kind of door is it - wood, metal, fiberglass? Does it already have holes from an old lock, or does it need fresh drilling? Do you have hardware or need us to bring it?
- 2
We Check the Door and Measure
On site, we measure the door thickness and backset distance. We check the frame condition to make sure it can support the lock properly and hold up over time.
- 3
We Confirm the Full Scope
We review the complete job - drilling, fitting, hardware (if we're providing it), and any frame prep needed. You know exactly what's involved before tools come out.

We Drill, Fit, and Install
We bore clean holes using professional templates, mount the lock, install the strike plate with proper screws, and make sure everything sits flush and operates smoothly.
Tested before handoff Why professional installation matters
No Binding, No Sticking, No Forcing
A properly installed lock turns smoothly every time. DIY installs often leave the bolt fighting the frame, which wears out the lock fast. We align everything so it glides.
Your Door Stays Intact
Drilling a door wrong can crack it, void warranties, or leave ugly gaps. We use professional jigs and sharp bits that cut clean holes exactly where they need to be.
Real Security, Not Just a Lock Shape
We install strike plates with 3-inch screws that reach the wall studs - not the 1/2-inch screws that come in the box. This is what actually stops a door from being kicked in.
One Key for All Your Doors
If you're installing multiple locks, we can key them all the same so you carry one key instead of a jangling ring. Convenient without sacrificing security.

Lock Installation FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Can you install a lock I already bought?
Yes. We install any major brand - Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, whatever you've got. We'll verify it fits your door and handle all the mounting and alignment.
Do you need to drill new holes if I'm replacing an old lock?
Usually no - most replacement locks fit the same holes. But if you're changing to a different style or adding a lock where there wasn't one, we'll drill new holes cleanly.
Can you make all my new locks use the same key?
Yes. If you're installing multiple locks, we can key them alike on site so one key opens every door. This works with most standard residential hardware.
What's the difference between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 lock?
Grade 1 is commercial-strength - built for heavy use and maximum force resistance. Grade 2 is high-quality residential. For most homes, Grade 2 is plenty. We'll recommend based on your needs.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward replacement takes about 20-30 minutes per lock. Fresh installations on doors with no existing holes take 45-60 minutes because of the drilling and prep work.
Need a new lock installed?
Tell us what door needs a lock and whether you already have hardware or need us to bring it. We'll confirm availability, check your door type, and come prepared with the right tools.
