Add real security to any door. We install single- and double-cylinder deadbolts and high-security cylinders throughout Broward County — properly fitted and keyed. From $75 per deadbolt. Available 24/7 across Broward County. Call (954) 475-6978.
Deadbolt Installation in Fort Lauderdale
A quality deadbolt is the single most cost-effective security upgrade for most homes, and a proper installation is what makes it count. Be My Locksmith installs ANSI-grade deadbolts on entry doors across Fort Lauderdale, bores new doors cleanly, and aligns the strike so the bolt throws fully into the frame — the difference between a lock that looks secure and one that actually is.
We fit single-cylinder deadbolts (key outside, thumb-turn inside), double-cylinder deadbolts for doors with nearby glass, and can upgrade any door to bump- and pick-resistant high-security cylinders for serious protection. For sliding and patio doors — a common weak point in South Florida homes — we add secondary bolts and anti-lift devices so the door can't be jimmied or lifted off its track.
Proper reinforcement goes beyond the lock itself. We can add heavy-duty strike plates and longer screws that anchor into the door frame, dramatically increasing resistance to kick-ins — a small upgrade that makes a big difference.
New deadbolts pair naturally with a full residential security visit, and we can key your new deadbolt alike so one key opens every door in the house. Prefer to go keyless? Ask about smart deadbolts with a keypad or app control.
Not all deadbolts are created equal. Grade 1 (the highest ANSI residential rating) offers the most resistance to force and wear, while Grade 2 is a solid, budget-friendly choice for most homes. We'll help you choose the right grade for each door — a heavy-use front entry might warrant Grade 1, while a rarely-used side door is fine with Grade 2. Installing multiple deadbolts in one visit also lowers the per-lock cost, which is why so many homeowners secure every exterior door at once when they move in. We carry a range of finishes — from classic brass and satin nickel to matte black — so your new hardware matches the rest of your door, and we can special-order specific brands or styles on request.
Whether you're securing a new home, replacing a worn lock, or hardening a vulnerable door, we'll recommend the right hardware and install it so it operates smoothly for years. Call for a quick quote.
How Deadbolt Installation Works
A deadbolt is only as strong as its fit. Here's how we install across Broward County.
Assess the door
We check the door, frame, and any existing bore to recommend the right deadbolt.
Clean install
We bore and mount the lock precisely and align the strike so the bolt throws fully.
Reinforce
Optional heavy-duty strike plates and long screws for real kick-in resistance.
Key it your way
We key the new deadbolt alone or alike with your other doors.
Deadbolt Situations We Handle
New home security
Fresh deadbolts on every entry the day you move in.
Doors with side glass
Double-cylinder deadbolts where reaching through glass is a risk.
Sliding & patio doors
Secondary bolts and anti-lift hardware.
High-security upgrade
Bump- and pick-resistant cylinders for extra protection.
Frame reinforcement
Heavy strike plates and long screws against kick-ins.
What Goes Into Your Fort Lauderdale Quote
We quote every Fort Lauderdale job upfront, but a few factors move the price. Knowing them helps you understand your quote — and there are never hidden fees on top.
Number of locks
Rekeying one lock costs less than every exterior door — though per-lock pricing drops as you add more.
Lock type
Standard deadbolts are quick; high-security cylinders and smart locks cost more in hardware and labor across Fort Lauderdale.
Time of day
After-hours lockouts carry a small addition over daytime service.
Hardware supplied
Installing hardware you bought differs from us providing new locks on site for Fort Lauderdale homes and businesses.
Additional upgrades
Patio-door security, mailbox locks, or keyed-alike setups are quoted alongside the main job.
Avoid the Next Headache in Fort Lauderdale
A few simple things make this easier — and can save you money in Fort Lauderdale.
Rekey when you move in
You never know who has old keys — rekeying every exterior lock on day one is cheap peace of mind.
Skip the hidden key
Under-the-mat spots are the first place intruders look; use a lockbox or a trusted neighbor for Fort Lauderdale homes and businesses.
Upgrade weak deadbolts
A quality ANSI-grade deadbolt with a long-screw strike plate dramatically improves security.
Secure sliding doors
South Florida patio doors are a common weak point — a secondary lock helps — a common call near Las Olas Boulevard.
Consider keyless entry
Smart locks end hidden keys and let you give codes to guests across Fort Lauderdale.
