Lock Installation
A great lock installed badly is a bad lock. The install is the security.
What this service actually involves
Fresh installation is carpentry plus locksmithing: boring a clean cross-bore in a new door, mortising a latch plate that sits flush, aligning a deadbolt so it throws without lifting the handle, and setting a strike plate with screws that reach the stud rather than the trim. The difference shows up the day someone kicks the door.
Installations cover new construction doors, adding a deadbolt where only a knob lock lived, side and garage-entry doors that never had real hardware, gates, and secondary bedrooms or offices that need keyed privacy. Each gets the lock grade the situation deserves rather than the most expensive box on the truck.
Questions, answered straight
The door never had a deadbolt. Can one be added?
Yes, boring a new deadbolt into an existing door is bread-and-butter work, finished cleanly with the reinforcement that makes it worth doing.
Does a smart lock need special installation?
It needs a door that closes true and a deadbolt path that moves freely; smart locks amplify whatever alignment problems exist. Part of the install is making the mechanical layer worthy of the electronics.
Interior doors too?
Keyed offices, storage closets and bedroom privacy locks included. Fire-egress logic is respected: nothing gets installed that traps a person inside a home.
