How We Handle Lock Replacement
Inspect the Existing Lock
We first check the existing lock, door thickness, frame, strike, and surrounding hardware. This assists in determining the reason for the lock replacement and the type of hardware that is compatible. Prior to replacement, we can provide information about repairing or rekeying the lock.
Install and Test the New Lock
Once the old hardware is removed, we install the new lock and lock each part in place. We examine the movement of the latch, thumb turn, strike, and lock mechanism. The door is then opened and locked several times to ensure reliable operation.
Choosing the Right Replacement Lock
The type of lock that is used to replace will depend on the location of the lock and the way you use the door. Exterior doors can make use of robust deadbolt locks or high-security locks. A smart lock or keyless entry system may suit homeowners who prefer electronic access.
Patio and sliding glass doors have a variety of locking hardware options that are not found in standard hinged doors. Depending on the door design, a sliding door lock, hook bolt lock, or patio door latch may be appropriate.
Homeowners who recently moved may also choose to have their locks rekeyed instead of replaced when the hardware remains in good condition. This changes the working keys without requiring new lock hardware.
