If you are searching for lock installation near you in the Orlando metro area, Key Copy By Mo is the locksmith homeowners trust for fast, permanent lock upgrades — from a single deadbolt to a whole-house installation with smart lock integration and reinforced strike plates.

What Is Lock Installation?

Lock installation is the process of fitting a new locking mechanism into a door, gate, or entry point. Hence, it secures properly and operates with a matched key or electronic credential. A professional locksmith in Orlando installs deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, smart locks, and high-security cylinders on interior and exterior doors — including drilling, alignment, strike plate reinforcement, and key or code setup. Key Copy By Mo provides residential locksmith installation across the Orlando metro area for new construction, upgrades, and replacements.

What Is Lock Installation

Types of Locks We Install in Orlando

Deadbolts

Single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts are the primary security locks for residential exterior doors. A properly installed deadbolt with a 1-inch throw bolt and reinforced strike plate resists forced entry far better than a knob lock alone. Our locksmiths install Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 deadbolts depending on your security needs and budget.

Smart Locks

Smart locks replace or supplement traditional keyed entry with keypads, fingerprint readers, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connectivity. Orlando homeowners in gated communities and vacation rental properties use smart locks for keyless guest access, remote locking, and activity logs. Key Copy By Mo locksmiths install and configure smart locks from Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo, and August — and ensure compatibility with your existing door prep and smart home system. 

Keypad Locks

Keypad locks use a numeric code instead of a physical key, eliminating the risk of lost keys. They are popular for Orlando rental properties, side entries, and garages. Our residential locksmiths program and install keypad locks with multiple user codes and auto-lock features.

Knob Locks

Knob locks are standard on interior doors and some secondary exterior entries. While not sufficient on its own as an exterior lock, a quality knob lock paired with a deadbolt provides layered security. We install knob locks for bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, and utility rooms.

Lever Handle Locks

Lever handle locks offer ADA-compliant access and are easier to operate than round knobs — ideal for elderly residents, children, or anyone with limited grip strength. Key Copy By Mo installs keyed, privacy, and passage lever handles on interior and exterior doors throughout the Orlando metro area.

High-Security Locks

High-security locks from Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy use patented keyways, pick-resistant pins, and restricted key duplication to provide the highest level of residential protection. Our locksmiths recommend high-security locks for primary entry doors, home offices, and properties storing valuables.

Multi-Point Locking Systems

Multi-point locks engage at three or more points along the door frame — typically top, middle, and bottom — distributing force and making forced entry significantly harder. They are standard on many European-style doors and increasingly common in new Orlando construction. Key Copy By Mo locksmiths install and adjust multi-point locking hardware for both new and retrofit applications.

Electronic Locks

Electronic locks include magnetic locks, electric strikes, and electromechanical systems that integrate with home security and access control setups. For homeowners who want their entry locks integrated with a broader security system, electronic locks offer centralized control. Our Orlando locksmith team installs standalone electronic locks for residential use and coordinates with access control systems for larger properties.

When Should You Install New Locks?

When Should You Install New Locks
Moving into a new home.
 Previous owners, contractors, real estate agents, and former tenants may still have working keys. New lock installation eliminates that risk — and is faster than rekeying if the existing hardware is outdated.
Upgrading from builder-grade hardware.
 New construction in Orlando often ships with the cheapest available locks. Replacing builder-grade knob locks with Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts and smart locks is one of the most effective security upgrades a homeowner can make.
After a break-in or attempted forced entry.
 Damaged locks must be replaced, not repaired. If a lock shows signs of drilling, picking, or forced manipulation, a professional locksmith replaces the compromised hardware with higher-security options and reinforces the strike plate and frame.
Switching to keyless or smart entry.
 If you want keypad, fingerprint, or app-controlled access, new lock installation is required — smart locks are not retrofit kits for existing hardware. Our locksmiths ensure proper door prep, alignment, and electronic configuration.
Worn-out or malfunctioning locks.
 Locks that stick, jam, or fail to latch properly are a security liability. If lubrication and adjustment do not resolve the issue, replacement is the correct fix.
Adding a deadbolt to doors that lack one.
 Many older homes in Orlando have exterior doors with only knob locks. Adding a deadbolt requires drilling, alignment, and strike plate reinforcement — a job for a professional locksmith, not a DIY project.

How Our Locksmiths Install Locks — Step by Step

How Our Locksmiths Install Locks — Step by Step
1

Assessment (5 minutes).

Your locksmith inspects the door material, thickness, existing hardware, and frame condition. We confirm the right lock type and brand for your door before any drilling or modification begins.

2

Door Preparation (10–20 minutes).

If no existing lock bore exists, the locksmith drills the door and frame to the manufacturer's specifications. For replacements, we verify the new lock matches the existing cutout or modify the prep to fit. Strike plate placement is marked, drilled, and reinforced with 3-inch screws that anchor into the door frame stud — not just the trim.

3

Lock Fitting (10–15 minutes).

The lock body, bolt mechanism, and exterior trim are assembled and seated into the prepared door. Your locksmith tests alignment at this stage — the deadbolt or latch must extend and retract smoothly with zero binding.

4

Strike Plate Installation (5–10 minutes).

The strike plate is mortised flush into the door frame and secured with long screws. A properly installed strike plate is the most critical component of a secure lock — it is the part that absorbs a kick or ram attempt.

5

Testing and Key Handover (5 minutes).

The locksmith tests the lock from both sides of the door with all the provided keys. Smart locks are paired, programmed, and tested for remote functionality. You receive all keys, codes, and operating instructions before we leave.

Total time: 30–60 minutes per lock, depending on door condition and lock type. Our locksmiths complete most single-lock installations in under 45 minutes.

Why Online Cost Estimates Miss the Mark for Orlando

National cost aggregators like HomeAdvisor and Angi publish average lock installation costs based on data from across the United States. Orlando’s housing stock includes vacation rental condos with commercial-grade fire doors, older homes in College Park and Mills 50 with non-standard door thicknesses, and new construction in Lake Nona and Horizon West with pre-drilled smart lock prep — each requiring different locksmith approaches and pricing. A national average does not account for these local variables. For a full breakdown of locksmith pricing across all service types, see our complete locksmith pricing guide for Orlando.
