A properly installed deadbolt is one of the most effective ways to improve the security of your home in Kenton. 1st Capital Locksmith installs Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts on residential doors throughout Kenton and Kent County — new installations, upgrades, and replacements.
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.

Deadbolt Services in Kenton
ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts are the highest residential security rating and are tested to withstand 250,000 cycles and 10 blows of 75 foot-pounds of force. Grade 2 deadbolts offer good security for most residential applications and are tested to 150,000 cycles. We recommend Grade 1 for exterior doors facing the street or in higher-risk areas of Kenton. We'll help you choose the right option during your service call.
If your door doesn't have a deadbolt, or has only a knob lock without a deadbolt, adding one is the most impactful security upgrade you can make in Kenton. We measure your door, bore the hole if needed, and install a properly sized deadbolt with the correct backset and throw for your door and frame. We also ensure the strike plate is reinforced with long screws reaching the door frame studs.
Replacing an old, low-quality, or worn deadbolt with a new Grade 1 or Grade 2 unit is a straightforward upgrade that significantly improves your door security. We remove the existing deadbolt, install the new one with proper alignment, and can rekey it to match your other locks if needed so you only need one key for your home in Kenton.
Electronic deadbolts with keypads or smart lock capabilities (Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) offer keyless convenience and remote access control. We install and configure electronic deadbolts from major brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and Baldwin for homeowners throughout Kenton. We ensure proper fit and function and can also provide backup key access options.
