Lock installation
A new lock is only as strong as how it's installed.
- Fit and door prep checked
- Bolt and strike alignment tested
- Codes and app set up with you
Smart lock installation looks simple on the box, but a bolt that rubs the strike drains batteries and jams. We handle smart lock installation and deadbolt installation for houses and commercial doors throughout Los Angeles County: new bores where a door has none, strike plates reset so the deadbolt throw is full, and keypads or app control set up before the visit ends.
Happy with the locks you have? A rekey may be all you need. Swapping a damaged lock for the same type falls under lock change, and businesses adding keypad access should start with our commercial locksmith page.

Installation services
Installation covers more than the lock. The door, the frame and the strike all have to line up for the bolt to do its job.
Smart lock installation
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Z-Wave locks installed, paired with the app and tested from inside and out.
Keypad deadbolts
Code-entry deadbolts with a key backup, set up with your user codes.
New deadbolt installation
Doors drilled for a deadbolt where none exists, with the strike mortised into the jamb.
Strike reinforcement
Heavy-duty strike plates with screws long enough to reach the framing behind the jamb.
Choosing a lock
Mechanical deadbolt
Key outside, thumb turn inside, no batteries. Look for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or 2 on a main entry.
Keypad deadbolt
Enter a code instead of carrying a key. Codes can be changed for guests or workers.
Smart lock
Adds app control, auto-lock, activity logs and remote access, depending on the model and hub.
When to add or upgrade a lock
Consider a new installation if:
- An entry door has no deadboltA spring latch alone can be slipped; a deadbolt adds a bolt that can't be pushed back.
- People need access without keysDog walkers, cleaners, family and short-term guests.
- The current lock is low gradeMove the main entry up to Grade 1 or 2.
- The bolt doesn't fully extendThe strike or door needs adjusting, or the lock needs replacing.
- You want to see who comes and goesMany smart locks log entries by user code.
Safety first. Keep a mechanical backup for every smart lock, either a key or an override. Batteries die and Wi-Fi drops, and a door without a backup turns a dead battery into a lockout.
