Can you install a lock I already bought?
Yes. We fit your lock and check the door closes and locks smoothly, or we bring a grade 2 deadbolt and matching knob, keyed alike.
Fitting a lock you bought is the cheaper job. If we supply it, the quote adds the hardware. A smart lock takes a little longer because of the app setup.
What do lock grades mean?
Grades 1 to 3 are ANSI/BHMA strength ratings printed on the box. Grade 2 suits most home doors; grade 1 suits heavy use.
| Grade | What it means | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 (ANSI/BHMA) | Highest tested strength and cycles | Businesses, rentals with heavy use, side doors out of sight |
| Grade 2 | Solid residential strength | Most front and back doors |
| Grade 3 | Basic | Interior doors, low-risk spots |
The grade is printed on the box. A strong lock on a weak frame still fails, so the tech also checks the strike plate.
Which small upgrades make a door stronger?
Long strike-plate screws that reach the stud, a deadbolt that fully extends without pushing the door, and locks keyed alike.
- Longer strike-plate screws. 3-inch screws reach the stud behind the frame. Many kicked-in doors fail at the frame, not the lock.
- A deadbolt that fully extends. If you have to push or pull the door to lock it, the strike needs adjusting. We fix that as part of the install.
- Keyed alike. New locks can match your other doors so you carry one key.
What if my door needs extra work?
Older doors with a wrong-size hole or an odd backset, metal doors and storm doors take longer.
If we see that from your photo, it is in the quote. If we find it at the door, you get a photo and a new total by text before we continue.
Just want old keys to stop working? A rekey is cheaper than new locks.
Questions people ask
How much does a locksmith charge to change locks?
It depends on who supplies the lock, how many doors there are, and whether a door needs work to fit it. Send a photo of the door and the box, and we quote one all-in total, trip included.
Is it cheaper to rekey or change locks?
Rekeying is cheaper if your locks work well, because the hardware stays. Change the lock if it is loose, sticking or broken, or you want a stronger one.
Can you install a lock I already bought?
Yes, and it costs less than a lock we supply. Send a photo of the box so we can check it suits your door before we quote.
Can you match my new lock to my other keys?
Usually, yes. The tech rekeys the new lock to your existing key if the brands share a keyway.
