HOME DEADBOLT INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT
Fit the deadbolt to the entrance and how you use it.
A replacement should suit the door's dimensions and preparation, with the bolt able to engage the frame correctly. A new installation also needs a suitable location and door construction. We assess the entrance, explain appropriate choices, and discuss the work and proposed cost before proceeding.
-01
New deadbolt installation
Assess an entrance without an existing deadbolt and discuss suitable hardware and any door preparation needed for the agreed installation.
-02
Worn deadbolt replacement
Replace damaged or unreliable hardware with a compatible deadbolt, with the door and frame assessed alongside the existing lock.
-03
Front and rear entrances
Review the door construction, current hardware, and daily use before choosing a deadbolt for a suitable home entrance.
-04
Door preparation checks
Check existing holes, door thickness, edge preparation, and the distance from the door edge to the lock's center before selecting hardware.
-05
Bolt and strike alignment
Assess how the bolt meets the frame so binding or incomplete engagement is considered as part of the installation.
-06
Keys and access planning
Discuss the keys supplied with the new hardware and whether compatible cylinders can support an agreed shared-key arrangement.
-07
Hardware finish changes
Compare suitable replacement styles and finishes while keeping dimensions, function, and related entry hardware in view.
-08
Customer-supplied deadbolts
Share the proposed model before arranging installation so compatibility, preparation, and any additional work can be reviewed.
-09
Completed installation checks
Check the affected key or interior operating control, bolt movement, and locking operation after the agreed installation is complete.

WHEN A DEADBOLT NEEDS REPLACEMENT
Start with what you want to change at the door.
Tell us whether you are adding a deadbolt, replacing damaged hardware, or updating a lock during a remodel. Mention sticking, incomplete bolt travel, or pressure needed to close the door. A working lock with missing keys may need a different service from a failed bolt or unsuitable installation.
01
The entrance needs a suitable new deadbolt
02
The existing deadbolt is worn or damaged
03
The bolt binds or does not extend normally
04
Replacement hardware must fit existing holes
05
A remodel calls for a different style or finish
If the hardware is sound and your main concern is who holds working keys, compare residential rekeying. For a sticking or failed lock, we assess the cause before deciding whether replacement or other service is appropriate.
DEADBOLT, STRIKE & DOOR FIT
Check the entrance before fitting the new lock.
A new deadbolt can still bind if the door and strike do not line up. We assess the existing holes, bolt location, strike, and door operation before installation. Tell us if you need to lift, push, or pull the door to lock it so that concern is included in the service discussion.
DEADBOLT FIT & HARDWARE CHOICES
Confirm compatibility before buying the replacement.
01
Door thickness and existing bore dimensions
02
Distance from the door edge to the lock center
03
Bolt faceplate and strike preparation
04
Clearance around existing handles and trim
05
Required function, finish, and key compatibility
The replacement must match the entrance and the selected product’s requirements. Similar-looking hardware is not always a direct fit. If your door uses a connected strip or several locking points, see French door lock services before assuming a separate standard deadbolt is suitable.
KEYED, KEYPAD & CONNECTED OPTIONS
Choose the entry method your household needs.
01
Plan who needs keys for the new hardware
02
Review matching keys for compatible locks
03
Discuss code entry where the door supports it
04
Confirm features of the selected smart model
05
Review everyday operation after installation
Our home lock upgrades page covers wider replacement choices. For code entry, compare keypad lock installation. For supported app features, see smart lock installation. Features and installation needs depend on the chosen hardware and door.

I recently had Moshe install a new door lock for me, and I am extremely satisfied with the service. They were prompt, professional, and efficient throughout the entire process. The quality of their workmanship was excellent, and they ensured that the new lock fit perfectly and functioned flawlessly. I highly recommend Moshe for any door lock installation needs. They deserve a solid five-star rating!

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few things worth knowing before you call.
Not every lock or door problem fits a standard category. These answers cover the questions that come up most often before service.
Find answers about commercial hardware, home locks, french door, multipoint systems, and mobile locksmith service across the Denver metro.
Yes. ML Locksmith provides commercial locksmith services for offices, storefronts, businesses, and managed properties, including rekeying, lock changes, lock installation, lock repair, master key systems, high-security locks, door closers, and panic/exit hardware. We also help with office and business lockouts.
We diagnose, repair, and replace French door locks and multipoint locking hardware, including three-point mechanisms and Hoppe systems. We also service patio and sliding-door locks.
Repair or replacement depends on the mechanism’s condition and compatible parts. When you call, describe the symptoms and any brand markings on the hardware.
Many home locks can be rekeyed when the existing hardware is in good condition, allowing you to change which key works without replacing the entire lock. We also repair and replace residential locks and install compatible smart and keypad locks.
For electronic locks, changing access codes is separate from rekeying a keyed cylinder. Pricing depends on the hardware, work, and location; call to discuss the service and cost before work begins.
We provide mobile locksmith service throughout the Denver metro, including Denver, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Arvada, Broomfield, Lakewood, Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Erie, Federal Heights, Firestone, Fort Lupton, Frederick, Golden, Henderson, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Superior, and Wheat Ridge.
