56.7% of break-ins in 2018 involved forced entry through doors. Most homes only have doorknobs with simple latches. These can break easily.

We also include a warranty, clear pricing, and free estimates to keep things simple for you.

Benefits of Using Deadbolts for Stronger Door Protection
Many regular locks don’t hold up under force, especially during break-in attempts. Deadbolts are built differently, using a solid metal bolt that locks deep into the door frame and doesn’t shift with pressure or tools. This design helps stop forced entry methods like kicking, prying, or sliding a card. Each turn of the key engages the bolt fully, giving your doors a more secure hold that’s harder to bypass.
Deadbolts now offer more than just strength. Options like double-cylinder models prevent intruders from unlocking doors through nearby windows, while smart deadbolts provide remote access, keypad entry, and auto-lock features. Some models even resist lock bumping and drilling, giving your home added protection. These features make deadbolts a smart choice for both everyday use and long-term security.


What to Check Before Installing a Deadbolt Lock
Deadbolt performance depends on the condition of the door and frame. Solid wood or metal doors provide the strength needed to hold the bolt in place. Weak or hollow-core doors can crack under pressure and reduce the lock’s effectiveness. The door should close smoothly and sit flush in the frame. Loose hinges, gaps, or sagging edges can cause the bolt to misalign over time.
Lock alignment also depends on the borehole. The hole must be the right size, free of damage, and cut cleanly to allow proper movement. It’s important to check the backset measurement so the lock fits as designed. Once everything lines up, installation becomes quick and secure. We make sure every detail is right before fitting the lock, so your deadbolt stays strong and reliable.

He helped us to get our keys locked inside our excavator (this was around midnight), and like a month later I lock my car with no clue of where my keys where. I had to call again and he came right away and opened the car in just minutes. I'll recommend this company, plus his prices are fair.

Rishi Ratwani M.D.2025-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Hero!! I, brilliantly, locked us out of our home over Memorial Day weekend, when many companies closed. Kevin showed up in less than Ten minutes! Our lock was a pain in the butt. Eventually I told him he can drill the lock, but Kevin did not want us to have to go buy a new one. He got it open shortly after, and we decided I am no longer in charge of keeping the keys. I’d give 5 stars, but $150 was pretty steep ellen daniel2025-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will recommend him to anyone, even my friend Grant Winfrey2025-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
