Introduction to Deadbolt Installation & Repair
Our Deadbolt Installation & Repair Process
Our systematic approach to deadbolt installation ensures every project meets the highest industry standards. When you contact Atlanta Locksmith Corp at (404) 649-0256, our process begins with a comprehensive security assessment of your property's specific needs.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment Our certified locksmith examines your door construction, frame integrity, and existing hardware to recommend the optimal heavy duty lock solution. We consider factors like door thickness, material composition, and your security requirements to ensure proper compatibility.
Step 2: Hardware Selection We guide you through our selection of Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts, explaining the security ratings, finish options, and features of each model. Our inventory includes single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and smart deadbolt systems from leading manufacturers.
Step 3: Professional Installation Using precision tools and proven techniques, we install your security lock system with meticulous attention to alignment, strike plate placement, and bolt throw clearance. Proper installation is critical—even the highest-quality deadbolt will fail if improperly mounted.
Step 4: Testing and Adjustment We thoroughly test the locking mechanism, key operation, and overall function to ensure smooth performance. Every installation includes alignment verification to prevent premature wear and operational issues.
Step 5: Customer Education Before completing service, we demonstrate proper operation, provide maintenance recommendations, and answer any questions about your new dead bolt system.

Common Situations Requiring Deadbolt Installation & Repair
Understanding when to upgrade or repair your dead bolt system helps maintain optimal property security.
Moving Into a New Property The most critical time for deadbolt replacement is when taking possession of a new home or office. You can never be certain how many previous key copies exist, making immediate rekeying or replacement essential for security.
After a Break-In or Attempted Entry Even unsuccessful break-in attempts can compromise security lock integrity. Visible damage, looseness, or alignment issues indicate the need for immediate professional assessment and likely replacement.
Upgrading Outdated Security Deadbolts older than 10-15 years may lack modern security features. Technology advances rapidly, and upgrading to current high-security deadbolt systems significantly improves protection against modern break-in techniques.
Key Control Concerns When keys are lost, stolen, or in the possession of former employees or tenants, replacement or rekeying becomes crucial. For properties with multiple turnover, consider upgrading to rekeyable or smart deadbolt systems.
Door Replacement or Renovation New doors require properly fitted deadbolts. When renovating, it's the perfect opportunity to upgrade to heavy duty lock systems that complement your improved property aesthetics and security.
Sticky or Difficult Operation Deadbolts requiring excessive force, failing to fully extend, or showing signs of wear need professional attention. These symptoms often indicate internal mechanism failure or misalignment that compromises security.
Insurance or Landlord Requirements Many insurance policies and rental agreements specify minimum security standards. Professional deadbolt installation ensures compliance with these requirements while maximizing protection.
Business Security Compliance Commercial properties often face specific security regulations and standards. Our commercial deadbolt installation services ensure your business meets all applicable codes and insurance requirements.

Maximizing Your Deadbolt Security Investment
Installing a quality dead bolt represents just the beginning of comprehensive property security. Our experts recommend these complementary measures for maximum protection:
Reinforce Door Frames Even the strongest deadbolt can fail if mounted to a weak door frame. We assess frame integrity and can install reinforcement plates that distribute force across a broader area, preventing kick-in attacks.
Upgrade Strike Plates Standard strike plates with short screws provide minimal security. We install heavy duty strike plates with 3-inch screws that anchor directly into wall studs, dramatically increasing resistance to forced entry.
Consider Door Material Solid wood or metal doors provide far superior security compared to hollow-core alternatives. If door replacement isn't immediately feasible, we can recommend security enhancements for existing doors.
Implement Layered Security Combining deadbolts with security cameras, motion-activated lighting, and alarm systems creates multiple defensive barriers that deter most potential intruders.
Regular Maintenance We recommend annual inspection and lubrication of your deadbolt mechanisms to ensure continued smooth operation and longevity. Small maintenance investments prevent larger repair costs down the road.
