Why Professional Door Lock Installation Is Essential
Installing a door lock might seem simple, but professional installation is crucial for optimal security. Our experts ensure that locks are installed correctly, reducing the risk of potential break-ins. We use precise tools like hole saws and chisels to fit the lock flush with the edge of the door. This attention to detail prevents common issues that arise from DIY installations, such as misaligned latch plates or improperly drilled holes.
Moreover, professional installation saves you time and guarantees that your lock functions smoothly. With our experience, we can handle any type of door, whether it’s a wood door or a steel door. Investing in professional services means peace of mind knowing your home is secured by experts.
Our Step-by-Step
Door Lock Installation Process
We follow a meticulous, step-by-step guide to ensure your door lock is installed perfectly. First, we remove the old lock and assess the door’s condition. Next, we measure and mark where the new lock and deadbolt will go, using an auto-centering guide for precision.
We then drill pilot holes with the appropriate drill bit, carefully creating the lock hole without damaging the door. For metal doors, we use bi-metal hole saws to cut cleanly through the material. After drilling, we chisel out space for the latch plate so it sits flush with the door edge.
Once the preparations are complete, we insert the latch into the side of the door and secure it with screws. We attach the exterior and interior door knob or handle, ensuring all components align correctly. Finally, we test the lock multiple times to confirm everything works smoothly.
Types of Door Locks We Install
Deadbolt Locks
Deadbolts provide an extra layer of security for exterior doors. We install both single and double-cylinder deadbolt locksets. Our team ensures the deadbolt is flush with the door and the strike plate is securely fastened to the door jamb.
Smart Door Locks and Keypads
For modern security, we install electronic door locks, including smart locks compatible with Google Home. These locks offer convenience and enhanced security features, allowing you to control access remotely and monitor who enters your home.
Mortise Locks
Mortise locks are ideal for doors that require a more robust locking mechanism. We install these locks by carefully cutting into the door edge and fitting the lockset precisely. Mortise locks are durable and offer excellent security for both interior and exterior doors.
