Lock Installation & Replacement
New lock installation or replacement of existing locks. We supply or you supply the hardware.Mobile service across Charlotte & Lake Norman, NC.
Replacing a worn-out lock, upgrading to a higher-security model, or adding locks to a new door? We install and supply Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Defiant, Master Lock, plus higher-security Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, and we do it at your door.
Most residential install jobs include 3-inch security screws in the strike plate (vs the 1-inch screws that come with most locks) — a free upgrade that dramatically improves kick-in resistance. We also check that the strike plate fits properly and the door closes squarely.

Common scenarios
Real situations we get called for — and what they typically cost.
Replacing builder-grade locks after moving in
Most new builds come with Grade 3 locks (lowest security). Upgrading the front door to Grade 2 is the highest-ROI security move. ~$145 installed.
Worn-out lock won't turn smoothly
Lubricating doesn't help if internals are worn. Replace the whole lock — $85-145 installed. We carry the common brands on the truck, so there are no parts to order.
Adding deadbolt to door that doesn't have one
Many older Charlotte homes have only a knob lock on the back door. We drill the hole and install a Grade 2 deadbolt for $190.
