What to Expect After Your New Locks are Installed
Once your new deadbolt, knob, or lever is installed, you will receive a fresh set of keys. We can also key your new hardware to match your existing house key, if that is your preference, reducing the number of keys on your keyring. Before we consider the job complete, we will test every lock thoroughly to ensure smooth operation and proper engagement with the strike plate. This step confirms the mechanism functions as intended, providing reliable security.
We stand behind the work we do. All hardware installed by Q 24/7 Lock Service comes with a manufacturer's warranty, and our installation workmanship is also covered. Should you encounter any issues with the new lock or its operation after our visit, we are available to address your concerns. Our goal is a secure and functional entryway for your home, backed by clear expectations for what happens next.
Addressing Common Issues with Door Hardware
Many residential locks in Owings Mills face wear from daily use, or they might simply be outdated. You may find yourself wiggling the key to get the cylinder to turn, or notice the entire lock assembly feels loose within the door itself. These are clear indicators that the internal components are fatigued, or the mounting screws have loosened over time. Replacing these components can restore both security and ease of use.
Sometimes, the need for a lock change is driven by external factors, such as a desire for a higher security grade after neighborhood activity. Standard Grade 3 residential locks may not offer the resistance you need against forced entry. We can upgrade these to Grade 1 or Grade 2 commercial-rated hardware, which uses stronger materials and designs, fitting them precisely to your door frame and jamb for enhanced protection.
Our Process for Durable Lock Replacements
A lock is only as strong as the door and frame it is installed into. Before installing any new hardware, our locksmiths inspect the door's alignment, the condition of the strike plate, and the integrity of the jamb. A Grade 1 deadbolt mounted into a hollow jamb with short screws offers minimal resistance to a kick-in. We ensure the new lock will be effective by addressing any underlying structural weaknesses first.
This might involve reinforcing the strike plate with longer screws that reach the wall stud, or shimming a slightly misaligned door. We then select and install hardware that matches your aesthetic and security requirements. From full mortise lock body replacements to new knob sets, our precise fitting ensures the lock operates smoothly, engages fully, and provides the intended security for your home.
