Fresh Lock Installations
Lock installation differs from replacement as it often involves fitting a lock to a door that previously did not have one in that location. This requires specialized tools to cut into the door material accurately without compromising its strength.
Common Installations
- Adding a secondary deadlock to a wooden front door.
- Installing internal door locks for shared housing or offices.
- Fitting locks to newly installed doors.
- Adding specialized hardware like rack bolts or surface-mounted rim locks.
Structural Considerations
Our installation process respects the structural integrity of the door. We assess the door's core (solid, hollow, composite) to determine the appropriate type of lock and fixing method. Proper alignment of the locking bolt and the strike plate on the door frame is critical for the lock to function without placing stress on the mechanism.
