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 Fort Wayne, IN 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 Fort Wayne, IN home ensures that your new lock provides the high level of security it was designed to deliver.
