Door Lock Replacement

The Lock Replacement Process

The homeowner had recently moved into a new house and wanted to replace all exterior door locks for added security and peace of mind. Their primary requests included:

• High-security deadbolt locks to prevent break-ins
• Keyless entry option for easier access
• Quick installation with minimal disruption

Step 1: Lock Selection & Security Assessment

We discussed different lock options with the homeowner, including:

• Traditional deadbolt locks for durability and strength
• Smart locks with keypad access for keyless convenience
• Double-cylinder locks for added security against forced entry

After reviewing their needs, the client chose a heavy-duty deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate for maximum protection.

Step 2: Removal of Old Lock

Our team carefully removed the existing lock, ensuring no damage to the door. We also inspected the door frame to confirm it was sturdy enough to support the new lock.

Step 3: Installation of New Lock

Once the old lock was removed, we:

• Aligned and installed the new deadbolt securely into place
• Reinforced the strike plate for added resistance against forced entry
• Tested the lock multiple times to ensure smooth operation

Step 4: Client Walkthrough & Security Tips

After installation, we demonstrated how to use and maintain the new lock. We also provided security tips, such as:

• Rekeying locks when moving into a new home
• Using a reinforced door frame for added protection
• Considering smart locks for additional security features

The Final Results

With the new high-security deadbolt installed, the homeowner now has:

• Stronger protection against intrusions
• Smooth and reliable locking mechanisms
• Greater confidence in their home’s security
