Frequently asked questions
Can you install a deadbolt on a door that has never had one before?
Yes. If your door has only a knob lock or a lever handle and no deadbolt, our technicians can bore a new hole at the correct backset location, install the deadbolt cylinder and thumb-turn assembly, and chisel a mortise pocket in the door edge for the bolt faceplate. We also install or reinforce the strike plate in the jamb. Most new-hole deadbolt installations on standard residential doors in Laguna Niguel are completed within one to two hours.
What is the difference between a single-cylinder and a double-cylinder deadbolt, and which should I get?
A single-cylinder deadbolt uses a key on the exterior and a thumb-turn on the interior — the most common choice for standard entry doors. A double-cylinder requires a key on both sides, which is sometimes used on doors with glass panels nearby where someone could break the glass and reach the thumb-turn. However, double-cylinder locks can be a fire-egress risk if you cannot find the key quickly. Our technicians will walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific door and home layout so you can make an informed decision before we start any work.
Do you install smart locks and keyless entry deadbolts?
Yes — our smart lock installation service and keyless door lock installation service cover Wi-Fi deadbolts, Bluetooth deadbolts, keypad touchscreen models, and Z-Wave units compatible with most smart home hubs. We handle the full installation, including strike-plate alignment, battery check, and app pairing or code programming. We also advise on which smart deadbolt models are best suited to Laguna Niguel's coastal climate, since salt air and humidity can affect certain electronic components over time.
How is a mortise lock different from a standard deadbolt, and do I need one?
A mortise lock is set into a routed pocket within the door body rather than through a bored cylindrical hole. This creates a more secure mechanical connection, supports a larger bolt throw, and typically integrates the latch and deadbolt into one case. Mortise locks are standard on commercial doors and high-end residential entry doors, and they handle heavy daily use better than cylindrical locks. If you have a solid wood or metal door with an existing mortise pocket, upgrading to a quality mortise lock is often the most robust security improvement available. Our technicians can assess your door and tell you whether your current prep accepts a standard mortise case or needs adjustment.
Is it cheaper to rekey my existing locks or replace them entirely?
Rekeying — changing the internal pin configuration so old keys no longer work — is typically less expensive than full replacement and makes sense when the hardware itself is in good working condition and is the security grade you need. Replacement is the right choice when the lock is worn, damaged, was previously defeated, or is a lower-grade lock that no longer meets your security requirements. When you call 949-761-4067, our dispatcher can help you think through which option fits your situation, and our technician will give you an honest on-site assessment before recommending parts or labor.
Do you offer lock installation for businesses and commercial properties in Laguna Niguel?
Absolutely. Our commercial locksmith services cover office suites, retail spaces, multi-tenant buildings, and industrial units throughout Laguna Niguel and the surrounding South Orange County area. We install mortise locks, electronic access control deadbolts, keypad entry systems, and master key setups. We can schedule commercial calls during off-hours to avoid disrupting your operations, and we provide the same up-front pricing transparency on commercial jobs that we do for residential calls.
