High Security Lock Installation
We install deadbolts, mortise locks, smart locks, and high-security cylinder systems from trusted brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. Each installation includes proper door preparation, precise fitting, and thorough testing.
Inwood’s mix of older buildings and newer construction requires different approaches. We work with solid wood doors, metal security doors, and glass storefronts – adapting our techniques to ensure every installation meets both security standards and building requirements.
Commercial clients get access control systems, master key setups, and emergency exit hardware that meets NYC fire codes. Residential customers can choose from traditional keyed locks to modern electronic systems that integrate with home security.
How long does professional lock installation take in Inwood?
Most standard lock installations take 30-45 minutes per lock, depending on your door type and the complexity of the lock system. Simple deadbolt installations on prepared doors are typically faster.
High-security locks or smart lock systems may take longer due to additional wiring or programming requirements. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your specific installation needs.
For commercial properties or multiple lock installations, we schedule enough time to complete everything properly without rushing the precision work that ensures your security.
What types of locks can you install on different door types?
We install deadbolts, mortise locks, cylindrical locks, and electronic systems on wood, metal, and composite doors. Each door type requires specific techniques and hardware to ensure proper fit and security.
Older Inwood buildings often have solid wood doors that need careful drilling to avoid splitting. Metal security doors require different bits and techniques to maintain the door’s structural integrity.
Glass doors and storefronts get specialized locks designed for commercial use, including panic bars and magnetic locks that meet NYC building codes for emergency egress.
Do you provide emergency lock installation services?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency lock installation for situations like break-ins, damaged locks, or immediate security upgrades. Our mobile units carry common lock types for same-day installation.
Emergency situations often require temporary security measures while we source specialized locks. We can install temporary high-security hardware and return to complete permanent installation when needed.
For businesses that can’t wait for regular hours, we provide after-hours installation services to minimize disruption to your operations while ensuring your property stays secure.
Are your locksmiths licensed to work in NYC?
All our technicians hold current NYC Consumer Affairs locksmith licenses, which require background checks, training verification, and ongoing compliance with city regulations. We’re also bonded and insured for your protection.
NYC licensing ensures we meet professional standards for security work and stay current with local building codes. This matters when your locks need to integrate with existing security systems or meet specific requirements.
You can verify our licensing status through the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs website. We’re happy to provide our license information and insurance certificates upon request.
What's included in your lock installation service?
Complete installation includes door preparation, lock fitting, hardware installation, and thorough testing of all components. We provide all necessary keys and ensure everything operates smoothly before we leave.
We also clean up all debris from drilling and installation work, leaving your property neat and secure. If existing hardware needs removal, that’s included in the service.
After installation, we explain how your new locks work and provide maintenance tips to keep them operating properly. You get a brief warranty on our installation work for added peace of mind.
How do I choose the right lock for my Inwood property?
The right lock depends on your door type, security needs, and budget. We assess factors like door thickness, existing hardware, and your specific security concerns to recommend appropriate options.
For residential properties, we typically recommend Grade 1 deadbolts from reputable manufacturers. Commercial properties may need higher security levels, access control integration, or specialized hardware for glass doors.
We explain the differences between lock grades, security features, and price points so you can make an informed decision. Our goal is matching you with locks that provide the security level you need at a price that fits your budget.
