Residential Locksmith · Felton, DE
If a door in your Felton home only has a knob lock, it's relying on the weakest hardware on the house. 1st Capital Locksmith installs Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts throughout Felton and Kent County — same-day service, hardware on the truck.
Proper Installation Matters
A deadbolt installed with the wrong backset, too much door gap, or a weak strike plate provides minimal security. We install correctly.
Grade 1 Available
ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts provide the highest residential security rating — we stock and install these in Felton.
Reinforced Strike Plate
We install extended strike plates with 3-inch screws for maximum resistance to kick-in attempts.
All Door Types
Wood, steel, and fiberglass doors on front, back, and side entries throughout Felton.

Deadbolt Services in Felton
Grade 1 is the top residential security rating — tested to 250,000 cycles and serious impact resistance. Grade 2 is solid for most homes at 150,000 cycles. For street-facing doors or higher-exposure spots in Felton, we steer you toward Grade 1; we'll walk through the choice when we're at your door.
A door with only a knob lock is a door that can be opened with a credit card. Adding a deadbolt changes that completely. Felton homeowners near the Midstate Road neighborhoods get the same fast dispatch as the rest of Kent County — no distance surcharge, no vague arrival windows.
When a deadbolt wears out or was never good to begin with, replacement with a properly rated unit takes under an hour at your Felton home — and we'll match it to your existing key so nothing else changes.
Smart deadbolts let you ditch the key entirely — codes, apps, and remote access — but only if they're installed and configured correctly. We fit and set up major-brand electronic deadbolts across Felton, with mechanical key backup included.
