Deadbolt Installation: The Importance of Professional vs. DIY
While a DIY deadbolt installation might seem like a way to save money, proper security depends on a flawless installation. A poorly installed lock can be easily bypassed, defeating its purpose. Here’s why a professional installation from Mac's Locksmith in Waukegan, IL is the smarter choice.
- Precise Alignment: This is the most critical factor. A professional ensures the deadbolt, the hole in the door (bore hole), and the strike plate on the doorframe are all perfectly aligned, preventing sticking and ensuring full engagement.
- Correct Bore Hole Drilling: A professional uses a door lock installation kit with jigs to drill perfectly sized and placed holes, preventing damage to the door.
- Reinforced Strike Plate Installation: We install the strike plate with long, 3-inch screws that anchor deep into the wall stud, not just the flimsy door jamb, providing maximum resistance to forced entry.
- Expertise with Different Brands and Types: We have extensive experience with Schlage deadbolt installation, Kwikset deadbolt installation, and even complex Schlage keypad deadbolt installation.
- Guaranteed Workmanship: We stand behind our work. If there's an issue with the installation, we'll fix it. You don't get that guarantee with a DIY project.Investing in a professional deadbolt installation for your Waukegan, IL home ensures that your new lock provides the high level of security it was designed to deliver. For tips on what to do in an emergency, see our guide on what to do when locked out.
