What grade of deadbolt should I get?

For most homes, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt offers a big security improvement over builder-basic hardware. We'll recommend the right grade based on your door and security needs and confirm pricing before installing.

Should I get a single- or double-cylinder deadbolt?

Single-cylinder deadbolts (key outside, thumb-turn inside) are the most common and convenient. Double-cylinder deadbolts add security near glass but need a key to exit, which matters for emergencies. We'll help you weigh the trade-offs.

Can you replace just the deadbolt and keep my other locks?

Yes. We can replace only the deadbolt, and we can key it alike with your existing locks so one key still opens everything.

How much does deadbolt replacement cost?

For deadbolt replacement, get an estimate on the phone before we come out, with the exact price confirmed after we know the door and the hardware you choose. You always get a free phone estimate first.

How quickly can you replace my deadbolt?

We confirm an arrival window when you call and complete most deadbolt replacements in a single visit.

When a lock change makes sense

Moving into a home

You don't know who still has a key from before. New locks (or a rekey) put you back in control of every key that opens the door.

Worn or damaged locks

Keys that stick, cylinders that turn roughly, or hardware damaged after a break-in attempt — replaced with new, tested hardware.

Upgrading hardware

Stronger deadbolts, keyed-alike sets, or smart and keypad locks fitted to your existing door.

Rekey or replace?

Both retire the old keys. The right choice depends on the condition of your hardware.

Rekey

Keeps your existing locks in place
Old keys stop working
Good when hardware is in solid condition
Usually the lower-cost option

Replace

New lock hardware fitted and tested
Right choice for worn, damaged or dated locks
Lets you upgrade grade, finish or key type
Needed when parts are no longer available

More about this service

The deadbolt is the single most important piece of hardware standing between your home and a forced entry. A quality, correctly installed deadbolt resists kicks, pries, and picks far better than a knob lock ever could — and a worn or low-grade deadbolt gives a false sense of security.

OE Lock & Safe replaces deadbolts throughout the Los Angeles area with high-security, properly graded hardware, anchored into the frame the right way. If your deadbolt is loose, sticky, outdated, or you simply want a stronger lock, here's what to know.
