Installing Your Lock Made Easy with our Residential Locksmith Services
One of the most important steps in improving any property's security is installing a new lock. When we do this procedure, we do so precisely and meticulously. Let's go over the necessary procedures to ensure the new lock fits and functions securely.
We start by assessing the door's existing state and choosing the right kind of lock. Choosing an appropriate lockset entails taking measurements of the backset and the thickness of the door. The current lock is then removed, being careful to maintain track of all the screws and parts for simple removal.
This is a brief outline of our procedure:
Measure and Mark: Determine the exact thickness of the door and mark the location of the new lock's installation.
Drill and Chisel: Gently drill the holes and chisel out the areas that need to be used for the strike plate and latch.
Install the lock: Fit the lock's parts firmly, making sure they line up precisely and work as intended.
Test and Adjust: To guarantee smooth functioning, test the lock multiple times and adjust for any misalignments.
Superior Quality Lock Parts
Any locking system's longevity and security depend on the careful selection of premium lock components. We consider materials, design, and production standards while selecting components.
Premium materials with better resistance to corrosion and drilling include hardened steel, brass, and nickel. By strengthening and extending the lifespan of locks, these materials make forced entry more difficult for would-be burglars.
The accuracy of the locking mechanism must also be taken into account. To prevent lock-picking efforts, a well-designed pin tumbler or disc detainer system must have intricate keyways and precise tolerances.
To ensure that they are tested against common means of attack, components like cylinders should adhere to strict industry standards, such as the British Standard BS3621.
An additional degree of security is provided by the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, such as anti-bump and anti-snap features. These developments are essential to contemporary locks because they protect against ever more advanced break-in methods.
