Adding a new lock — a deadbolt on a door that never had one, hardware on a new-construction build, or a keyless entry for convenience — is best done right the first time. Our lock installation service bores and preps doors accurately, mounts hardware to manufacturer spec, and aligns strikes so every lock operates smoothly and resists forced entry.
