What to Expect After Your New Locks Are Installed
Once your residential lock change is complete, our technician will test each newly installed deadbolt, knob, or lever to confirm smooth operation. You will receive a full set of new keys for each lock, or your new hardware can be keyed alike to existing house keys upon request. We ensure every lock functions perfectly, providing immediate peace of mind and enhanced security for your Takoma residence. You should feel a solid click and smooth turn with every use.
We confirm that the new hardware aligns precisely with the strike plate, preventing any binding or excessive wear. Before we leave, we will demonstrate the correct function of all new locks, ensuring you are comfortable with their operation. This attention to detail means your new locks are not just installed, but integrated properly into your home's security.
Why a Professional Lock Change Goes Beyond New Hardware
Simply replacing an old lock with a new one often overlooks underlying issues that can compromise security. Many perceived lock failures are actually symptoms of a misaligned door, worn hinges, or a flimsy door frame. Our technicians in Takoma assess the entire door assembly—including the strike plate, door gap, and frame integrity—before fitting any new hardware.
A Grade 1 deadbolt provides excellent resistance to force, but if it is installed into a hollow jamb with short screws, it becomes a kick-in hazard. We reinforce strikes and ensure proper screw length into solid wood, providing a robust anchor for your new lock. This comprehensive approach ensures your new lock functions optimally and provides the security you expect.
