Choosing a replacement
Deadbolts and lever sets are tested to ANSI/BHMA grades, with Grade 1 the most demanding. For exterior doors, a quality deadbolt with a long throw and a reinforced strike plate makes a big difference. Before you buy a lock yourself, check the door thickness and the backset (the distance from the door edge to the centre of the hole, usually 2-3/8" or 2-3/4").
We fit deadbolts, handle sets, mortise locks, smart and keypad locks, and high-security cylinders. If your locks still work well, rekeying may be all you need.
Lock replacement FAQs
Can you replace a lock I've already bought?
Yes. We can fit customer-supplied hardware, though we can only stand behind the workmanship, not the product.
Can every door use the same key after replacement?
Yes, if you choose locks with the same keyway or let us key them alike when we fit them.
How long does a lock change take?
A straightforward deadbolt swap is usually quick. Doors that need new holes, strike work or mortise locks take longer, and we'll tell you before starting.
