When to Replace Locks in Palm Bay
- Security Upgrade Needed If your Palm Bay home or business has old, low-grade locks (Grade 3 or lower), upgrading to Grade 1 or Grade 2 locks significantly improves security. Modern locks also resist common burglary techniques like bumping and picking better than older locks.
- After Break-Ins or Attempted Break-Ins Damaged locks from break-in attempts must be replaced immediately. Even if locks still function, structural integrity may be compromised. Also consider upgrading to higher-security locks after break-ins.
- Locks Are Worn or Malfunctioning Keys becoming difficult to turn, locks sticking, or mechanisms feeling loose indicate wear. Worn locks are security vulnerabilities and should be replaced before they fail completely.
- Aesthetic Updates Remodeling your Palm Bay home? New front door? Replacing locks to match updated finishes and styles completes the look. Lock finishes should coordinate with door hardware, light fixtures, and house numbers.
- Adding New Doors New construction, additions, or door replacements require lock installation. We ensure new locks match security levels and keying of existing locks.
- Technology Upgrades Want the convenience of keyless entry or smartphone control? Upgrading to smart locks requires replacement of traditional locks with new electronic hardware.
- Lost Keys with Old Locks If you've lost keys and your locks are old or worn anyway, replacement makes more sense than rekeying aging hardware.
- Moving from High-Crime Areas Relocating from areas with property crime concerns? Upgrading to high-security locks provides peace of mind and actual protection.
Lock Replacement & Installation FAQs
How much does lock installation cost in Palm Bay?
Costs vary by lock type:
- Basic deadbolt installation: $75-$125 (with lock purchase)
- Smart lock installation: $150-$300 (with lock purchase)
- High-security lock installation: $200-$400+ (with lock purchase)
- Commercial lock installation: $150-$500+ depending on type Prices include professional installation, testing, and keys (or programming for smart locks).
How long does lock installation take?
Standard deadbolt installation takes 20-30 minutes per lock if existing holes are present. New installations requiring drilling take 45-60 minutes per lock. Smart locks may take slightly longer for programming and testing.
Can you install locks purchased elsewhere?
Yes, we install customer-provided locks. However, buying locks through us often costs the same or less due to wholesale pricing, plus you’re guaranteed proper lock selection for your door and security needs.
Do you provide locks or do I need to buy them?
We carry comprehensive lock inventories in our mobile vans. Most installations are completed with locks from our stock. For specialty or decorative locks, we can source them typically within 1-2 days.
Can you match my existing lock finish?
Yes. Locks come in standard finishes (polished brass, satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, etc.). We match existing hardware finishes or help coordinate new finish schemes.
Will installation damage my door?
Professional installation doesn’t damage doors. We use proper tools and techniques. If new holes are required (converting from doorknob-only to deadbolt), drilling is done carefully with appropriate templates.
Do smart locks work during power outages?
Yes. Smart locks use battery power (typically AA or lithium), not household electricity. They function normally during outages. Low battery alerts give plenty of warning to replace batteries.
Can I still use keys with smart locks?
Most smart locks include backup key cylinders for emergency access if batteries die or electronics fail. This provides redundant entry methods.
What warranty comes with installation?
Lock manufacturers provide warranties (typically 1-3 years on residential locks, longer on high-security). We warranty our installation workmanship – if problems result from installation errors, we correct them at no charge.
