Installing new locks provides security for new doors, upgrades protection on existing entries, or adds locks where none existed.
NC Local Locksmith provides expert lock installation for all door types throughout Hubert, Jacksonville, Wilmington, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Asheville. We install deadbolts, entry locks, privacy locks, and smart locks with professional precision.
Professional Lock Installation
We install deadbolts for maximum security, entry knobs and lever handles, privacy locks for bathrooms and bedrooms, smart locks and electronic systems, high-security locks, sliding door locks, and specialty locks for unique applications.
Proper installation requires precise measurements, drilling holes at correct heights and depths, aligning locks perfectly for smooth operation, reinforcing doors and frames as needed, and testing thoroughly before completion.
New Construction & Additions
Building or renovating? We work with contractors installing locks during construction, coordinate with building schedules, install temporary construction locks, provide final lock installation when work is complete, and configure master key systems for builders.
Our expertise ensures locks are installed correctly from the start, avoiding the problems that arise from improper DIY installation.
Upgrade Existing Doors
Older doors often lack adequate security or have no locks at all. We add deadbolts to doors with only knob locks, install locks on previously unlocked doors, upgrade worn locks to modern hardware, replace outdated locks with contemporary styles, and add electronic locks for convenience.
Door Preparation
Some installations require door preparation—drilling holes in solid doors, reinforcing hollow-core doors, installing strike plates with longer screws, adding metal reinforcement around lock areas, and ensuring doors meet security standards before installing premium locks.
