Below, we’ve gathered a list of the most frequently asked questions to better assist our customers.
1. How long does it take to install a new lock?
The time to install a new lock depends on the type of lock as well as the door material.
A basic residential lock can be done fairly quick, but we recommend allowing us 30 minutes. Installing a digital lock can be done in 30 minutes as well.
For commercial locks, we recommend giving us up to an hour. Though, a basic lock will likely take less than 30 minutes, a high security lock may require programming on top of the install, which can take a lot more time.
