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.
- 4
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.

Need a New Lock Installed on Your Door?
Whether you're adding a lock to a door that's never had one or upgrading old hardware to something better, Kwikey Locksmith handles the full installation across Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania. We drill, fit, and align locks on wood, metal, and fiberglass doors - making sure everything works smoothly and securely from day one.
Why Professional Installation Beats DIY
Installing a lock looks simple in the YouTube video, but getting the alignment right is where most people struggle. If the bolt doesn't line up perfectly with the strike plate, you end up forcing the door shut every time - which wears out the lock and eventually leads to failure. We use professional templates and jigs to get it right the first time.
Upgrades, New Doors, and Multi-Lock Keying
Moving into a new home? Adding a door to your garage entry? Tired of carrying five different keys? We handle all of it. We can install fresh hardware on new doors, replace worn-out builder-grade locks with quality upgrades, and key multiple locks alike so one key works everywhere. Full pricing provided before we start.

Serving Spring City, PA
Lock Installation in Spring City is handled on-site by Kwikey's mobile team. Tell us what you're dealing with, get a straight price, and we'll be out — often the same day.
Spring City is one of the Chester County communities we cover on a standing basis, alongside the rest of our Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania footprint.
We'll tell you when a lock is worth keeping. Plenty of older hardware in Spring City homes is better made than its modern replacement and only needs servicing.
Door and frame alignment causes more residential lock trouble than the locks themselves. Our Spring City visits include checking that, not just swapping parts.
Situations we see around Spring City
- Front and back door deadbolts rekeyed to a single new key
- Doors that stick, drag, or will not latch properly realigned
- Whole-house rekeying so every door takes one key
- Window locks and secondary security fitted
- Patio, sliding and French door locks upgraded
What to expect on site
Licensing and insurance aren't optional extras. Our Spring City technicians carry both, and we're happy to show proof on arrival.
The sequence is short: you call, we quote, a technician drives to Spring City, and the job gets done. No estimates that change on arrival, no return trips for parts we should have brought.
Good security is layered, not expensive. We'll show Spring City customers where the real weak point is before selling anything.

Worth knowing first
How far in advance should I book?
Same-day is usually available in Spring City for non-urgent work, and urgent calls are prioritized immediately. There's rarely a need to book far ahead.
Do you work with insurance claims?
We provide written records of the work and hardware fitted on Spring City jobs, which is generally what insurers ask for. Tell us in advance if you need particular detail.
Can you handle lock installation outside normal hours in Spring City?
Urgent calls get priority dispatch outside standard business hours. The upfront-pricing policy stays the same — urgency doesn't change how we quote.
Will the job be finished in one visit?
Usually, yes. Vans heading to Spring City carry the common hardware and tooling, so most jobs complete on the first trip rather than needing a parts run.
Can you match or copy existing keys in Spring City?
In most cases, yes. Bring the details when you call (302) 551-2550 and we'll confirm what's possible for your particular hardware before the visit.

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.
