How long will it take to install new locks?
There is hardly a specific time frame needed to install new locks. The time for the installation process is dependent on a number of factors. First, it will depend on the nature of your door—the material design of your door. Most residential apartments today are made of wooden doors, while some others are made of steel. The time for installing a lock on a wooden door varies compare to the time needed for installing same lock on a steel door, which is why it’s very important to notify the locksmith in advance.
Secondly, the installation time will vary depending on whether the holes needed for the locks have been drilled or not into your door. If they have already been drilled, our lock repair will get on straight with the new installation. But if they have not be drilled, the installation time will take much time than necessary because our locksmith must have to drill the necessary holes to affix the locks.
Lastly, the installation might also depend on the type of lock the homeowner wants to install. The lock could be just a simple knob latch bolt or a combined doorknob and a deadbolt to create better door security. Whatever it is, the lock installation shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes if done by a professional technician from one of our mobile key service unit.
