New Lock Installation

Is Your Property Left Dependent on Basic Builder-Grade Hardware and Misaligned DIY Installs?

Relying on outdated, worn, or basic builder-grade locks leaves your home or business highly vulnerable to common forced-entry techniques like lock bumping, picking, and physical prying. Many property owners attempt to address this by purchasing cheap retail locksets from big-box stores and installing them as weekend DIY projects.


However, without professional boring jigs, precise routing tools, and door-hanging expertise, these installations almost always suffer from critical structural alignment flaws. A deadbolt or latch that is misaligned by even a fraction of an inch creates immediate mechanical friction, causing keys to stick, handles to sag, and the locking bolt to fall short of fully extending into the strike plate. This mechanical failure drastically reduces the lock's security rating, making it incredibly easy for an intruder to bypass the door with minimal effort while forcing your expensive hardware to wear out prematurely.

Establish an Uncompromised Defensive Perimeter with Competition Locksmith’s Precision New Lock Installation

Competition Locksmith provides precision, high-security new lock installations that establish a rock-solid, uncompromised defensive perimeter for your property by deploying mobile workshops stocked with a deep, diverse inventory of commercial-grade and residential architectural hardware to select the ideal mechanical or electronic defenses on the spot.

Our technicians utilize industrial-grade installation templates and high-precision drilling equipment to prep your wood, metal, or fiberglass doors flawlessly, ensuring every cylinder, spindle, latch, and strike plate fits with absolute accuracy. We don't rely on the flimsy, short screws that come standard in retail packaging; instead, we anchor our reinforced steel box strikes deep into your structural wall studs using three-inch hardened screws to prevent frame splitting. By entirely eliminating mechanical friction and verifying that every deadbolt fully throws into a reinforced steel frame strike, we optimize both the raw physical strength and the daily operational smoothness of your new security hardware.

Our New Lock Installation Services

Fresh Deadbolt & Secondary Lock Prep

If your existing doors only feature a basic, single locking doorknob, your entry points lack foundational structural resistance. We perform clean, professional door alterations by drilling precise new holes into wood, fiberglass, or steel doors to add a secondary, heavy-duty deadbolt. This dual-point locking framework significantly increases the force required to breach the entryway, instantly doubling your physical protection.

Commercial Exit Devices & Panic Bars

Commercial facilities must balance strict external security with code-compliant emergency egress routes. We supply and install heavy-duty, code-certified panic hardware, push bars, and vertical rod exit systems designed to handle high-traffic wear while ensuring life-safety compliance. Our installations guarantee that occupants can exit effortlessly during an emergency while keeping the exterior completely sealed against unauthorized entry.

Architectural Hardware & Mortise Lock Installation

For premium residential and high-end commercial properties, security should never compromise visual design. We specialize in retrofitting and installing complex mortise locks, architectural thumb-latch handlesets, and minimalist designer levers. Our precise routing ensures these intricate, pocketed lock bodies fit seamlessly inside your doors, providing superior mechanical strength alongside a refined aesthetic finish.

Storefront Door Closers & Heavy-Duty Hinges

A new lock is only effective if the door actually closes completely and latches on its own. We install and calibrate commercial hydraulic door closers and continuous gear hinges to correct misaligned, sagging, or slamming storefront doors. This mechanical calibration ensures your doors swing smoothly and return to a tightly locked position automatically after every single use.

Lenny was very professional and knowledgeable about the locks we needed for our new home. In answering all of my questions he was able to give me an adequate sense of what was needed for the multiple door locations of our home. He kept me informed of all my possible options and provided his advice when requested. He even sent me pictures once completed (while I was at work and my mom was present during installation) to make sure I was satisfied. He was punctual and worked fairly quickly so the process was seamless! I feel extra safe knowing the job was done well and correctly. I would recommend this locksmith and Lenny in particular without reservation!! Thanks Lenny we appreciate you:)

The interaction with Competition was amazing, from text to app to the finished work was just wonderful. Shane was personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He came for what I thought was an estimate and he fixed both door and lock problems on 2 doors. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

I recently had Shane install a new deadbolt keypad lock at my house, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He showed up on time, was super professional, and clearly knows his craft. The installation was quick, clean, and he even took the time to walk me through how to program and use the lock. The new keypad looks great and works perfectly. It’s refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a reliable locksmith, Shane is the guy to call—I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I called competition locksmith at 1:30 to see if they had everything to change a lock on my Andersen door. Lenard called me back immediately to let me know he did have the parts needed and he even provided same day availability. He was kind and efficient! Before 4pm my lock was changed, working, and I had keys. Highly recommend!!

The locking mechanism on our Andersen French-wood door broke. I called Competition Locksmith in the morning and Lenny arrived within a reasonable short period of time. Lenny quickly diagnosed the problem. He had the parts needed to repair/replace the locking actuator, and then aligned and adjusted the door snd three point locking device which made closing and locking the door much easier. Lenny was professional, a good listener and very knowledgeable about my specific doors locking and alignment mechanisms.

Was extremely pleased with the service and quality of work recently done by Lenny at CL. The job was completed two days after my initial contact with him, and he took the time to provide additional info on care and maintenance of the equipment after it was installed. I intend to recommend Lenny and his services to any and all friends and family looking for high quality locksmith services.

Lenny was awesome! I called around for a couple quotes to have our front door rekeyed not only did Lenny have the most fair and affordable prices he was by far the nicest!!! Every other place I called they couldn't be bothered and were just rude. Lenny had no problem with my mom being the one at the house while working on the door. My mom was very pleased with his service and how nice and personable he was. I will be using him again in the future and will recommend him to everyone I know.

Excellent service! I just called Lenny to fix a deadbolt lock installation, and he came very quickly and fixed it within minutes. Once he finished, he checked and found a few other problems with the locks on the door that he fixed as well. It is now working better than it ever did. I would definitely recommend him to others and will definitely be using him again in the near future. Thank you Lenny!
