Remove the Old Lock

We start our lock installation process by removing your old lock to make way for the new installation. First, we unscrew the doorknob and deadbolt from the interior side of your door. We then detach any associated hardware, like strike plates, and carefully pull out the old latch and deadbolt. This step is crucial as it clears the path for the new lock installation.

Measure and Prepare for Installation

Once we have removed the old lock, we measure your door to ensure the new lock fits perfectly. We pay attention to the backset measurement, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock hole. We also ensure the diameter of the holes in the door matches that of the new lock. This careful preparation helps us avoid compatibility issues.

Install the New Lock

With measurements confirmed, we proceed to install your new lock. We insert the latch into its designated hole and secure it with screws. Next, we align and attach the exterior and interior parts of the doorknob or deadbolt to achieve a snug fit.

Final Checks

After the installation, we test the new lock to ensure it operates smoothly. We turn the doorknob or deadbolt multiple times to check for any sticking or misalignment. We also ensure both sides of the lock engage properly. Finally, we replace any strike plates, making sure they align with the latch for optimal performance.
