What Proper Installation Looks Like

New lock installation in Normandy begins with removing the old hardware, inspecting the door and frame for damage or misalignment, and preparing the surface for the new lock. The locksmith drills or adjusts holes as needed, installs the lock body, aligns the latch and strike plate, and ensures the door closes and locks without resistance.

Once installation is finished, your lock will turn smoothly, latch securely, and operate without sticking or forcing. Deadbolts will engage fully into the strike plate, and handles will feel solid and stable when you open or close the door.

All hardware is installed according to manufacturer specifications, and you are shown how the new lock works before the locksmith leaves. The service does not include door replacement or structural modifications to the frame, but if those issues are present, they will be explained so you understand what is needed to ensure proper function.

What to Know Before Installing New Locks

Homeowners often ask about lock types, what separates basic from high-security options, and whether electronic locks are worth installing.

What is the difference between a standard lock and a high-security lock?
High-security locks use reinforced cylinders, advanced pin systems, and hardened materials that resist picking, drilling, and bumping. They often pair with restricted keyways that limit who can copy your keys, giving you better control over access.
Can you install electronic or keyless entry locks?
Yes, A-Best Locksmith installs electronic and keyless entry systems when they make sense for your situation. These locks allow access via code, smartphone, or key fob, and are ideal for homes where you want remote control or temporary access for guests.
How do I know if my door is compatible with the lock I want?
Most residential doors in Normandy can support standard or high-security locks, but door thickness, material, and existing hole placement affect compatibility. The locksmith will measure and inspect your door during the visit to confirm fitment before installation begins.
What does a non-duplicatable key system do?
Non-duplicatable key systems use restricted keyways that require authorization to copy, which prevents unauthorized duplication at hardware stores. This is useful for homeowners, landlords, and anyone who needs tighter control over who can make keys.
How long does it take to install a new lock?
Most installations in Normandy take 30 to 50 minutes per lock, depending on whether holes need to be drilled, the door needs adjustment, or old hardware needs removal. You receive an estimate once the door is inspected.
