Understanding Your New Home Security

After your locks are changed or replaced, you will receive new keys that operate your updated hardware. We ensure that every key is cut precisely and functions smoothly, allowing you easy and secure access to your property. If requested, we can key multiple locks to a single key, simplifying your everyday use.

Our technicians will review the operation of your new deadbolts, knobs, or levers with you before completing the job. You will have full confidence in how your new locks function, knowing they are correctly installed and aligned. We use Grade 1 and Grade 2 commercial-rated hardware to provide a higher level of durability and resistance to forced entry than many standard residential locks.

The Process of Upgrading Your Locks

Before any new lock hardware is fitted, our technician will conduct an assessment of your door, its frame, and the existing strike plate. Many lock issues stem from door misalignment, worn strikes, or inadequate frame support rather than the lock mechanism itself. Addressing these underlying conditions ensures that your new deadbolt or doorknob will perform optimally and provide genuine security.

We match new hardware to your home's existing finishes, ensuring a consistent aesthetic. Whether you are replacing a worn brass knob, upgrading to a brushed nickel lever, or installing a more robust stainless steel deadbolt, we ensure the fit is precise. The correct installation of a new lock, including the reinforcement of strike plates with longer screws into the door jamb, significantly enhances the security of your entry points against forced intrusion.

Long-Term Security for Highland Properties

Modern lock hardware provides enhanced protection against common bypass techniques like picking and bumping, especially when you choose higher security grades. Updating your locks is a proactive step, whether you've noticed increased activity in your neighborhood or simply want to improve your home's defenses. It offers a tangible upgrade in security that often goes beyond what standard builder-grade locks provide.

We prioritize non-destructive entry methods and transparent pricing, quoting the entire job upfront after a $49 service call fee.

When we moved into our new place, we called Chaim to rekey the locks. He was quick, professional, and very helpful. He also adjusted the doors, and they now close and lock more smoothly. Highly recommend using Q 24/7.

Hay was extremely professional and very courteous. He did an outstanding job replacing 2 locks and re-keying one lock for me. Hay took the time to explain what needed to be done and why. I would absolutely use this company again. And their prices were very reasonable.
