Lock Installation in Dallas-Fort Worth

Replacing an existing lock

Many replacements use the holes already in the door. We check door thickness, hole size, and latch position before picking the new hardware.

If you’ve already bought a lock, send us the model and a photo of the door. We’ll flag a fit issue before the old one comes off.

Adding a deadbolt to a door without one

Adding a deadbolt means preparing the door face, its edge, and the frame. We measure the position and spacing before drilling so the deadbolt clears the existing handle.

Not every door should be drilled the same way. Construction, thickness, existing glass, and spacing determine whether that hardware will fit.

Adding a lock to a cabinet or drawer

A cam lock can give a previously unlocked cabinet or drawer a keyed closure. We measure the panel and the space behind it to choose the right cylinder length and cam.

The cam also needs somewhere to catch when the door shuts. We check that before making the hole.

Choose between keys, codes, and cabinet locks

A keyed deadbolt, lever, keypad, and cam lock solve different problems. Tell us who needs access, how often the opening is used, and whether you’d rather have keys or codes.

If you want the new lock on the same key as your other doors, the keyways need to match. We’ll tell you when that’s possible.

Test it with the door closed

A new lock should latch without pulling, lifting, or leaning on the door. We check the bolt and strike when the door is shut, not just while it’s standing open.

We test the key or code and the way the door or drawer opens and closes before we’re done.
