Frequently Asked Questions
How much does deadbolt installation cost in Arlington?
Standard installation is roughly $75-$125 labor per door plus the hardware. A Schlage B60 Grade 2 runs about $40-$70; a Grade 1 commercial-rated unit runs $90-$150. A wood door with existing prep takes 30-45 minutes; a fresh bore on a metal door takes longer.
What is the difference between Grade 1, 2, and 3 deadbolts?
ANSI/BHMA A156.36 classifies deadbolts by cycle count and forced-entry resistance. Grade 1 (commercial) survives 250,000 cycles and 10 hammer strikes; Grade 2 (residential heavy-duty) 150,000 and 5 strikes; Grade 3 (residential standard) 100,000 and 2 strikes. We recommend Grade 1 for exterior doors.
Should I install a double-cylinder deadbolt?
Only if there is glass within about 40 inches of the deadbolt, since that is the common entry vector. Double-cylinder requires a key from both sides, which can slow fire egress — confirm with your insurer before choosing it.
Will you install a deadbolt I bought myself?
Yes. We charge labor regardless of where the hardware came from and warranty our installation. We will warn you that big-box Grade 3 deadbolts often underperform their rating — a mid-range Schlage or Kwikset is usually a better value.
