Lock Installation & Replacement in Sacramento

Licensed, insured and bonded. California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services License No. LCO 6830. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Proof of ownership is required before any lock is opened.

Most of a lock's real-world strength is in the fitting. A strong deadbolt in a short strike screw fixed only to the door casing is defeated by the frame, not the lock.

What the job involves

• Fitting deadbolts, entry sets and handle sets
• Upgrading to high-security cylinders with restricted keyways
• Reinforcing strike plates with screws long enough to reach the stud
• Boring new doors that have no lock prepared
• Fitting locks to gates, sheds and outbuildings

What to have ready when you call

• Door material and thickness, and whether it is solid or hollow
• Whether a lock is already fitted and what it is
• Whether the door is exterior, interior or fire-rated
• Proof of ownership or authority

Honest limits

A hollow interior door will not hold a high-security deadbolt meaningfully, no matter what is bolted to it. Where that is the situation, it is said plainly rather than sold around.
