What is a deadbolt lock?

For those who don’t know, a dead bolt is the lock that can be pushed to the side that is often used in addition to the key lock.
Dead bolts are made out of strong steel, and they extend all the way into the door jamb hole, which is then reinforced with thin steel plates and screws.
Depending on the quality purchased, having a deadbolt installed by a locksmith can cost up to $600.

Installing A Deadbolt Lock Is important

Lock installation Toronto

The classic lock and key system requires a key to unlock the door from the outside and can be locked and unlocked from the inside with a twist.
Double bolts require a key to unlock the door from both the inside and the outside.
The dead bolt is an added measure of protection since the key lock is usually fairly weak.
Most burglaries involve forced entry, and having an extra layer of protection is very helpful.

While a traditional lock and key system is effective for many homes and businesses throughout the world, there are instances in which adding a double bolt can be a good idea.
Even if there has never been an issue before, sometimes it adds an extra level of comfort for someone to have more protection in the home or workplace.
For those who are mechanically inclined, the cost of installing a deadbolt lock is even lower.

COMMON QUESTIONS

The typical price for a deadbolt lock is between $25 to $300, depending on the lock’s quality. Furthermore, the deadbolt lock installation can cost between $75 to $400 when hiring someone for you and depends on the quality of the lock provided.

While the deadbolt lock is one of the most secure locks found, there is a misconception that once it is locked, you cannot open it. Still, when you have the right tools and training as a locksmith, you will have that lock open quickly. Locksmiths have the right tools to help you return to your home, no matter the lock concern. 

While you may think that a locksmith only helps you to get safe key entry into your home, you are wrong. A locksmith has the skills to help open a locked deadbolt from the inside without breaking it. So, if you are in a lockout situation, you do not need to break a window to enter your home. 

A professional deadbolt lock installation done by a locksmith can take less than two hours. But if you are going the do-it-yourself route, it can take the same time, depending on your skill. A deadbolt replacement can be done in 15 to 30 minutes, as the only thing done is swapping the hardware out. 

Theoretically, a magnet cannot move a deadbolt lock as every lock works differently. The lock needs friction because a deadbolt lock is attached very tight, and a magnet cannot move it.

You can key a deadbolt if you need a separate key from the entry doorknob. But it needs to be in the same brand. For rekeying a deadbolt, you will need to remove the door to repin as you would a doorknob. Ensure the bolt is out, and remove the screws holding the deadbolt in place.
