Lock Change Service in Indianapolis

Signs it's time for a change instead of a repair

A deadbolt that requires excessive force to throw, visible corrosion or rust on the bolt and strike plate, a wobbly handle that won't tighten, or a key that's become difficult to insert even after cleaning all point toward hardware that's reached the end of its service life.

Fitting new hardware into existing prep

Most residential doors follow standard backset and bore hole sizing, so new locks typically drop into the same holes as the old ones. Older homes or non-standard doors sometimes need minor adjustments to the mortise or strike plate to fit newer hardware correctly.

• Matching new lock's backset to existing bore holes
• Adjusting strike plate mortise if hardware sizing differs
• Finish and style matching across multiple doors

Upgrading security during a change

A lock change is a natural point to step up from a basic single-cylinder deadbolt to something with better pick and drill resistance, or to standardize the key across every exterior door in the house at the same time.
