Lock Installation FAQs

Common questions about Lock Installation

Most residential lock installations take 15-30 minutes per lock for standard deadbolts and door knobs. High-security locks or smart lock systems may take 45-60 minutes depending on the complexity. We always provide accurate time estimates when we assess your specific doors and requirements. For Manhattan apartments with older door frames or unique configurations, we may need additional time to ensure proper alignment and security. We never rush installations because your safety depends on getting every detail right.
Yes, Manhattan renters typically need written landlord approval before changing or installing new locks on apartment doors. Most leases require you to provide landlords with emergency access, so you’ll need to give them keys or access codes. We can help coordinate with your landlord and property management to ensure the installation meets building requirements. For commercial properties, we work directly with property managers and building owners to handle all necessary approvals and documentation.
Manhattan properties benefit from high-security deadbolts, smart locks with backup keys, and commercial-grade hardware that handles heavy use. We recommend brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Schlage for their durability and pick resistance. For older buildings, we often suggest locks that work with existing door preparations while upgrading security. Smart locks are increasingly popular for their convenience, but we always recommend models with physical key backups for reliability during power outages or technical issues.
