Why a Deadbolt Is the Best Value in Home Security
A spring-latch knob can be slipped, shimmed, or forced in seconds, which is why the lock on the knob is never enough on its own. A deadbolt throws a solid steel bolt deep into the frame that cannot be pushed back without a key, turning an easy target into a real obstacle. For the cost, nothing else does more to harden an exterior door, which is why a quality deadbolt is the first upgrade we recommend on almost every home.
We install deadbolts on front doors, back doors, side entries, and garage-to-house doors. Where a door already has a worn or builder-grade deadbolt, we swap it for a stronger one. Either way, you get a door that takes real effort to defeat instead of a quick shove.
Single-Cylinder, Double-Cylinder, and the Right Choice for Your Door
A single-cylinder deadbolt uses a key outside and a thumbturn inside, which is the standard for most doors and the fastest to operate in an emergency. A double-cylinder deadbolt needs a key on both sides, which makes sense for doors with glass nearby, since a burglar cannot break the glass and simply reach in to turn the bolt. Each has tradeoffs around convenience and fast exit, and the right answer depends on your specific door.
We walk you through the options for each opening, factor in any glass, sidelights, or fire-exit concerns, and recommend the safest setup rather than a one-size-fits-all part. The result is a lock that is secure and still easy for your household to live with.
Installing a Deadbolt on a Door That Never Had One
Adding a deadbolt to a bare door is precise work. The crossbore through the door face and the edge bore for the bolt have to line up exactly, the bolt has to sit square in the frame, and the hole in the jamb has to be deep enough for the bolt to throw fully. Done wrong, the bolt binds or only extends part way, which quietly defeats the whole point. We bore and fit the new deadbolt cleanly so it throws smoothly and seats completely every time.
We handle wood, metal, and fiberglass doors, and we leave the work looking like the deadbolt was always meant to be there. No splintered edges, no crooked hardware, no bolt that catches.
Reinforcing the Strike So the Deadbolt Can Do Its Job
A deadbolt is only as strong as what it lands in. Builder-grade strike plates are often held by short screws that bite into nothing but the soft door trim, so a hard kick splits the jamb regardless of how good the lock is. We install heavy-duty strike plates secured with long screws that reach into the wall stud behind the frame, spreading the force of an impact across the structure instead of the trim.
This single step dramatically increases how much force your door can absorb and is one of the highest-impact upgrades we offer. We pair it with every new deadbolt so the lock and the frame work together, not in isolation.
Smart Deadbolts and Keyed-Alike Convenience
If you want to lose the keys altogether, we install smart deadbolts that open with a code, a phone, or a fingerprint, and set them up so they actually work the way you expect. Keypad deadbolts are great for letting in family or trusted help without handing out keys, and many keep a traditional key as a backup. We make sure the smart lock is installed solidly, not just clipped on, so it is as secure as it is convenient.
When we install several deadbolts at once, we key them alike so a single key opens every exterior door, or match them to your existing locks so you are not juggling a ring of keys. Convenience and security do not have to be a tradeoff when the hardware is set up right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a deadbolt to a door that does not have one?
Yes. We bore and fit a new deadbolt cleanly on wood, metal, and fiberglass doors so it throws smoothly and seats fully.
Should I get a single or double-cylinder deadbolt?
Single-cylinder suits most doors and exits fast; double-cylinder helps where glass is nearby. We recommend the safest choice for your specific door.
