Deadbolt Installation
If you own a home near Flagler Avenue, a rental cottage steps from the beach, or a storefront along Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach, a properly installed deadbolt is one of the simplest and most effective upgrades you can make to your security. Deadbolts outperform spring-latch locks in nearly every forced-entry scenario, yet an incorrectly installed unit — misaligned strike plate, undersized bore hole, or wrong backset — can render even a premium Schlage or Kwikset lock nearly useless.

Frequently asked questions
What types of deadbolts can you install, and how do I know which one is right for my door?+
We install single-cylinder, double-cylinder, jimmy proof, mortise lock, and smart/keypad deadbolts. The right choice depends on your door type (inswing vs. outswing), whether it has glass panels, and whether it's a residential or commercial application. When we arrive, our technician measures the door, checks the frame condition, and recommends the appropriate hardware — often from brands like Schlage or Kwikset — before any work begins.
How much does deadbolt installation cost in New Smyrna Beach?+
The final price depends on several factors: the lock grade and brand you choose, whether the door requires new boring or a mortise pocket, the time of day (overnight calls involve different logistics), and travel distance within the service area. We never quote a vague range and then adjust at the end — we give you a confirmed, exact price before touching your door. Call (386) 342-2396 and we can often give you a solid estimate over the phone once we know the details.
Can you install a deadbolt on a door that currently only has a knob lock?+
Yes. Adding a deadbolt above an existing door knob lock is one of the most common residential jobs we handle in New Smyrna Beach. We bore the correct diameter hole at the standard height, install the lock body and cylinder, and seat a reinforced strike plate with long screws that anchor into the door frame stud rather than just the trim. The process is clean and precise, with no unnecessary damage to your door or surrounding finish.
Do you handle mortise lock installation for older or historic homes?+
Absolutely. Many older homes and properties in New Smyrna Beach's historic neighborhoods have door edges already prepped for a mortise lock, or they have existing mortise hardware that needs a modern replacement. Our technicians carry common mortise case sizes and can source specific units for unusual door thicknesses. Mortise locks are also our go-to recommendation for most commercial doors given their strength and compliance benefits.
Is your locksmith service really available 24/7 in New Smyrna Beach?+
Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays. Whether you've just moved into a rental near Flagler Avenue at midnight and need locks changed immediately, or you've had an attempted break-in and need an emergency deadbolt installation, we dispatch a trained, insured mobile technician to your location. Call (386) 342-2396 any time and a real person will answer.
Do you verify ownership before performing lockout or installation services?+
Yes, always. Before any lockout response or lock installation, our technicians ask for a valid photo ID and, where appropriate, proof of residency or ownership such as a lease, deed, or utility bill. This is a non-negotiable step that protects you and your neighbors. Florida does not require a statewide locksmith license, so we believe rigorous identity verification is one of the most important professional standards we can uphold — and we take it seriously on every single call.
