Introduction to High-Security Lock Installation
Our High-Security Lock Installation Process
When you contact Atlanta Locksmith Organization for door lock installation, our systematic approach ensures proper function and maximum security. First, our licensed technician conducts a comprehensive security assessment of your property, examining existing locks, door frames, and potential vulnerabilities. We evaluate door thickness, material composition, and current hardware to recommend the most appropriate high-security solutions.
Next, we carefully remove existing lock hardware while preserving door integrity. Our precision lock fitting techniques ensure perfect alignment between the lock cylinder, strike plate, and door frame—critical factors that many inexperienced installers overlook. We then install lock components using reinforced strike plates with 3-inch screws that anchor directly into wall studs, dramatically increasing resistance to kick-in attempts.
Finally, we perform rigorous testing of all mechanisms, verify smooth operation, and provide you with detailed instructions for your new security system. You'll receive all keys, warranty documentation, and ongoing support from our team. This meticulous process typically takes 45-90 minutes per door, depending on complexity and existing hardware conditions.
Types of High-Security Locks We Install
Our new lock inventory includes multiple categories designed for different security scenarios. Medeco locks feature patented key control systems with billions of key combinations and rotating pin technology that prevents picking and bumping. These represent the gold standard for residential and light commercial applications.
Mul-T-Lock systems offer telescopic pin technology with interactive elements that create virtually unpickable mechanisms. We frequently recommend these for properties requiring restricted key duplication, as each system can only be copied by authorized dealers with proper credentials.
Schlage Primus and Assa Abloy high-security cylinders provide excellent solutions for commercial properties and multi-family buildings. These systems support master key hierarchies while maintaining individual security for each unit or office.
For customers seeking smart security integration, we install electronic high-security locks that combine traditional mechanical strength with digital access control. These allow remote monitoring, temporary access codes, and detailed entry logs while maintaining the physical security of premium deadbolts.

Understanding High-Security Lock Mechanisms
The superior protection offered by high-security locks stems from multiple integrated features. Forceful entry resistance begins with reinforced bolt construction using hardened steel that resists sawing, drilling, and prying. Premium deadbolts extend a minimum of one inch into the door frame, with many models offering 1.5-inch throws for enhanced protection.
High key sensitivity and control prevents unauthorized key duplication. Patent-protected keyways mean blank keys simply aren't available at hardware stores or key kiosks. Each key typically includes a registration card that must be presented for duplication, creating an audit trail for key control.
High-security mechanisms are difficult to manipulate through picking or bumping techniques that easily defeat standard locks. Specialized pin configurations, sidebar mechanisms, and rotating elements require sophisticated tools and extensive expertise that typical burglars don't possess. Many systems also include drill-resistant pins and hardened steel inserts that destroy drill bits upon contact.
Common Situations Requiring High-Security Lock Installation
Many property owners contact us after experiencing or witnessing security incidents in their neighborhood. Recent break-ins near your property should prompt immediate security upgrades, as criminals often target multiple homes in the same area using techniques that worked previously.
Moving into a new property represents an essential time for new lock installation. You cannot know how many previous owners, contractors, or maintenance personnel possess keys to existing locks. Fresh high-security locks with controlled keyways ensure you're the only person with access.
Business owners frequently upgrade to high-security systems after experiencing employee turnover, particularly when terminated employees may retain keys. The ability to maintain master key systems while changing individual locks provides flexibility that standard hardware cannot match.
Insurance requirements sometimes mandate specific security standards for coverage. Many insurance providers offer premium reductions for properties protected by verified high-security lock systems, potentially offsetting installation costs over time.
Divorce or relationship changes create situations where key control becomes critical. Installing new high-security locks with restricted duplication ensures complete control over property access during difficult transitions.

Making the Right Security Investment
Choosing appropriate high-security locks involves balancing protection level, budget considerations, and functional requirements. Our security consultants help you navigate options without pressure or unnecessary upselling. We'll explain which features provide genuine security benefits for your specific situation versus which represent luxury additions.
Many customers ask whether it's cheaper to rekey existing locks or install new hardware. For high-security applications, new lock installation typically proves more cost-effective long-term. Standard locks cannot be retrofitted to high-security specifications—the advanced mechanisms require purpose-built cylinders and housing.
When comparing our services to big-box retailers or handyman installations, remember that proper lock fitting requires specialized knowledge. Incorrectly installed security hardware often creates false confidence while providing minimal actual protection. Our professional installation includes alignment verification, frame reinforcement, and testing that ensures your investment delivers intended security benefits.
