Deadbolt Installation Done Right the First Time
A knob lock alone offers very little resistance to a shoulder or a pry bar. A properly installed deadbolt with a one inch throw and a reinforced strike plate is the single most effective upgrade for an exterior door. Alameda Locksmiths installs deadbolts on front doors, rear doors, garage entry doors and apartment doors across Alameda.
We help you choose between single cylinder deadbolts, double cylinder models for doors with glass nearby, and smart deadbolts that accept codes and phone control. We carry ANSI Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware in popular finishes and install long screws into the framing so the strike holds under force. Many customers combine this with our Security Consultation service and our Lock Rekey service.
For existing deadbolts that are loose, misaligned or worn, we adjust, repair or replace them. Every new deadbolt can be keyed to match your current locks.
