We install high security cylinders and deadbolts for doors that need more than a basic lock.
What makes a lock high security?
A high security lock has a more complex cylinder inside and a controlled key. Copies of a controlled key are made only for the people on the account, not for anyone who picks one up. We install brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock and fit them to the door you already have whenever we can.
When people call us for this
- You want a stronger lock on an apartment or house front door.
- Too many copies of your key are out there and you want control back.
- You run a shop, studio, or office and want to decide who can copy a key.
- A building wants one controlled key for its main entrance.
Can you use my existing deadbolt?
Often, yes. Many deadbolts take a high security cylinder in place of the standard one. If yours cannot, we tell you and quote a full replacement instead.
How do I get a quote?
Call us, or text a photo of the lock and the door edge. We give you a written quote before any work starts.
What happens on the visit?
We arrive with the parts the photo and the call told us to bring. We show you what is worn or broken before we touch it, do the work, and then test every lock and key with you before we leave. If something else on the door needs attention, we point it out and you decide.
Frequently asked
Who can get copies of my key?
Only the people you name on the account. You decide who gets keys.
Do high security locks work with a master key system?
Yes. Buildings and businesses can have controlled keys and a master key together.
