Keyless Lock Installation
We install electronic keyless entry systems for homes and businesses, including keypad and Bluetooth-enabled locks. These systems eliminate key-related risks while offering features like temporary access codes and remote control via smartphone apps. Our technicians help clients choose models from trusted brands, ensuring compatibility with existing security infrastructure and proper installation for optimal functionality and safety.
Deadbolt Installation
Our team installs high-security deadbolts with reinforced strike plates for enhanced protection against forced entry. We recommend Schlage Primus and Mul-T-Lock systems for their pick-resistant designs. Technicians ensure proper alignment and durability, addressing common issues like misaligned frames caused by temperature changes or house settling in Montgomery County properties.
Rekeying Services
Capitol Locksmith rekeys locks to invalidate old keys, a cost-effective security upgrade when moving into new properties or after key loss. This service maintains existing hardware while altering internal pin configurations. We also offer master key systems and keyed-alike solutions for properties with multiple locks requiring unified access.
Garage Door Lock Repair
We repair and replace garage door locks, addressing issues like jammed mechanisms or faulty keypads. Technicians assess whether locks can be repaired or require replacement, ensuring compatibility with garage door openers and overall security systems. Emergency services restore access to locked-out clients while reinforcing this common burglary entry point.
