Call UsLock Installation in Fresno, California
Lock installation fits new door hardware and prepares the door and frame to take it properly, covering deadbolts, knob and lever sets, keypads and smart locks. A single deadbolt on an already-bored door takes under an hour, and getting the frame right is what decides whether the lock actually resists anything. We are licensed and insured, serving Fresno and Fresno County since 2014.
Our technicians fit hundreds of locks every month across Fresno and Fresno County, from single-family homes to apartment complexes and commercial offices. We work on most residential and commercial brands, including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Master Lock and Defiant.

What is the difference between having a lock fitted and doing it myself?
A fitted lock includes preparing the door and frame, which is where most DIY installs fail. The common one is short screws into jamb trim instead of long screws into the framing stud, and that single detail decides whether the door holds.
How much does lock installation cost?
Starting at labor plus hardware, quoted on the phone. You get the total on the phone before a technician is dispatched, hardware included if we are supplying it.
How long does it take?
Under an hour for one deadbolt on a door that is already bored. Cutting a new hole, or doing several doors, runs longer and gets a time estimate with the quote.
Is an expensive lock worth it, or is a cheap one fine?
It depends entirely on the door. A high-grade deadbolt in a soft frame with short screws is easier to defeat than a mid-range lock fitted properly. If your budget is limited, spend it on the frame and the strike first. We will tell you where your actual weak point is when we see the door.
Do you supply the hardware or do I buy it?
Either. We carry common hardware on the van, or we will fit something you have already bought. Ask us before buying, because some big-box hardware is not suited to exterior doors.
Can new locks match my existing key?
Often yes. New hardware can be keyed to your current key so you are not carrying two.
How do I book lock installation in Fresno?
Call (888) 313-2105. Tell us how many doors, whether they already have deadbolts, and whether you have hardware. You get a price before we set off.
