Deadbolt Installation — FAQ
Can you install a deadbolt on a door that doesn’t have one?
Yes. We bore the necessary holes in the door and frame, install the deadbolt and strike plate, and reinforce the frame — all in a single visit.
What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts?
Grade 1 deadbolts are the highest-rated for security and durability, typically used in commercial settings. Grade 2 is the most popular residential choice, offering excellent security at a lower price point. Both are far superior to Grade 3.
Should I get a single or double-cylinder deadbolt?
Single-cylinder deadbolts use a key outside and a thumb-turn inside, offering easy egress. Double-cylinder deadbolts require a key on both sides, which prevents someone from unlocking the door through a broken window. However, double-cylinders can be a safety concern in emergencies, so they’re best for doors without nearby glass.
