Door Lock Installation in Ottawa
New lock not lining up, deadbolt sticking, or upgrading security after a move?
I install door locks and deadbolts with clean drilling, accurate backset placement, and proper strike alignment.
The result is smooth turning, solid latching, and a secure fit that feels right — across Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
What this service includes: installation of door knobs/lever sets, deadbolts, and replacement locksets, plus strike plate alignment so the latch and bolt engage cleanly.
If the existing holes are slightly off, I correct the fit so the lock works smoothly without forcing.
When this service is needed: new lock installation on an existing door, replacing a worn lock, upgrading to a deadbolt, changing hardware after a tenant move-out, or fixing a lock that binds because the strike is misaligned.
How the work is done: confirm door thickness and backset, set the latch and deadbolt at the correct depth, install hardware, align/adjust the strike plates, and test repeated lock/unlock cycles to ensure smooth operation and secure engagement.
Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins.
• Door/frame structural repairs, major door replacement, or advanced modifications are quoted separately.
• Smart locks can be installed if no electrical wiring is required; any wiring must be handled by a licensed trade if applicable.
Registered and insured, with 15+ years of hands-on experience and a clear scope confirmed in advance.
