New Lock Installation — Ocala & Central Florida

For most Ocala-area homes, we recommend the Schlage B60N or Schlage B62N as an upgrade from builder-grade hardware. These are ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts — the highest residential security rating — with a hardened steel bolt, pick-resistant cylinder, and anti-saw pins. They're significantly stronger than the Kwikset or Defiant deadbolts typically installed by builders, and they're priced reasonably. For homeowners who want smart lock capability, the Schlage Encode Plus adds Wi-Fi and Apple Home Key compatibility. For maximum security — particularly on commercial properties or high-value residential homes — Medeco and Mul-T-Lock offer restricted key systems that cannot be duplicated at hardware stores.

A typical three-door home with front door, back door, and garage entry averages $225 to $400 for Grade 1 deadbolt installation, including hardware. If you want smart locks instead of traditional deadbolts, add approximately $100 to $150 per door for the smarter hardware (smart lock device cost not included in this estimate). We quote everything upfront so you know the total before we begin. For homes with multiple entry points or those wanting a mix of standard deadbolts and smart locks, we'll walk through the options and give you a written quote that fits your budget.

Yes. Commercial new construction lock installation is one of our higher-value services. We work directly with general contractors, developers, and building owners to supply and install all door hardware throughout the build — from main entrance commercial deadbolts to interior office locks, storage room hardware, and exit devices. We handle scheduling to fit construction timelines, provide keys at handoff, and can set up a master key system so the owner has a single key for the entire building while staff keys work only for their authorized zones. Call us early in the planning process to quote the full hardware package.
