Professional Lock Installation Service in Philadelphia

Residential lock installation: Homes and apartments

Your home deserves better than a cheap lock from the hardware store installed crooked. Here’s what we do:

Deadbolts: Single cylinder, double cylinder, smart deadbolts. The backbone of home security. We install them level, tight, and tested.

Mortise locks: Common in older Philly rowhomes. These are the big rectangular locks set into the door edge. Beautiful hardware, but they need someone who knows how to work with them. We do.

Knob and lever sets: Entry handles with integrated locks. We make sure they match your door style and actually provide security, not just decoration.

Smart locks: WiFi or Bluetooth control. Unlock from your phone, give temporary access to guests, see who’s coming and going. We handle the full install including setup and programming.

Move in rekeying and replacement: Just moved into a new place? The first thing you should do is change those locks. You have no idea who still has keys. Previous tenants, their friends, the landlord’s cousin. Get new locks or get them rekeyed. Sleep better.

We check your door condition first. Frame alignment, hinge strength, wood condition, clearance. If your door is sagging or the frame is off, we tell you before we install. Because a great lock on a bad door is still a security problem.

Commercial lock installation: Offices, retail, buildings

Business security is different. You’ve got employees, customers, delivery people, cleaning crews. You need access control, not just a key. Here’s what we provide:

Heavy duty commercial locksets: Rated for high traffic and tough use. These aren’t residential locks. They’re built to handle hundreds of turns per day and still work in five years.

Key control systems: Keyed alike, keyed different, master key suites. We can set up a system where maintenance has access to everything, managers have access to their areas, and employees only get what they need.

Access control systems: Key fobs, card readers, keypads. Track who enters when. Change access instantly without collecting physical keys.

Panic bars and exit hardware: Required for commercial egress. We install code, including Philadelphia Fire and Building Code requirements. Because failing inspection costs you time and money.

Storefronts and back doors: High security cylinders, reinforced strikes, grades rated locks. Retail faces different threats than offices. We adjust accordingly.

I’ve done everything from single office suites in Old City to entire buildings in the Navy Yard. We understand compliance, insurance requirements, and what actually keeps your business secure.

Smart and electronic lock installation: Keypads, WiFi locks

The future is here and honestly, it’s pretty cool. Smart lock installation includes:

WiFi and Bluetooth deadbolts: Control via phone app. You can unlock your door from anywhere. Forgot to lock up? Do it from the car. Want to let someone in while you’re at work? Send them temporary access. It’s convenient and surprisingly secure when installed right.

Keypad entry systems: No key required. Just punch in your code. Great for rentals, Airbnbs, or if you’re tired of carrying keys. Change the code whenever you want.

Remote access management: Grant and revoke access from your phone. Perfect for landlords, property managers, or anyone managing multiple properties across Philly.

Retrofits on older doors: Yes, we can put a smart lock on your 1920s Philly rowhome door. We handle power sources, wiring if needed, compatibility checks, and modifications. Most old doors can handle modern smart locks. You just need someone who knows what they’re doing.

Had a client in Bella Vista who wanted smart access but was worried it would look too modern on her historic door. We found a model that kept the classic look on the outside with all the tech hidden inside. She controls everything from her phone and nobody can tell it’s not original hardware.

Emergency and replacement lock installation: After break ins or failures

Sometimes you don’t have time to research options. The lock is broken, the door was forced, or the key snapped off inside. We handle emergency replacement:

Rapid response: We dispatch fast to get you secure again. Same day service in most Philly neighborhoods.

Immediate security: We bring quality hardware with us. Not cheap temporary fixes. Real locks that work.

Damage assessment: We evaluate what needs replacing and what can be salvaged. Sometimes it’s just the lock. Sometimes the frame took damage too. We’re honest about what you need.

Security upgrades: If you just got broken into, now’s the time to upgrade. We’ll recommend better hardware, reinforced strikes, or additional security measures.

Break-ins are up in some Philly neighborhoods. Don’t wait until it happens to you. And if it already did, let’s make sure it doesn’t happen again.
