Frequently Asked Questions
How much does deadbolt installation cost in Fort Worth?
Standard installation is $75-$125 labor per door plus the cost of the hardware. A Schlage B60 Grade 2 runs around $40-$70; a Schlage B660 Grade 1 commercial-rated unit runs $90-$150. Wood door with existing prep takes 30-45 min; new bore on a metal door is closer to 60-90 min.
What is the difference between Grade 1, 2, and 3 deadbolts?
ANSI/BHMA A156.36 classifies deadbolts by cycle count and forced-entry resistance. Grade 1 (commercial) survives 250,000 cycles + 10 hammer strikes. Grade 2 (residential heavy-duty) survives 150,000 + 5 strikes. Grade 3 (residential standard) survives 100,000 + 2 strikes. We recommend Grade 1 for any exterior door.
Should I install a double-cylinder deadbolt?
Only if there is glass within 40 inches of the deadbolt — that is the burglary entry vector. Double-cylinder means a key is required from BOTH sides, which is illegal in some jurisdictions because it slows fire egress. Fort Worth allows it for residential but verify with your insurance.
Will you install a deadbolt I bought myself?
Yes. We charge $75-$125 labor regardless of where the hardware came from. We will not warranty the lock itself, only our installation. We do warn that big-box-store Grade 3 deadbolts ($15-$25 price point) often fail Grade 2 spec — better to spend $60+ on a Schlage B60.
