A knob lock is a latch, not a guard. A properly fitted deadbolt, with a reinforced strike screwed into the frame stud, is what actually stops a kicked door. We supply and install them across Cypress.
Cypress Locksmith
Ask any officer what defeats a break-in and the answer is boring: time and noise. A quality deadbolt buys both, but only when the whole system is fitted right. Deadbolt installation in Cypress is our most-requested security upgrade, and we treat it as a system: bolt, cylinder, strike box, and the long screws that tie it into the wall framing.
Cypress Locksmith (licensed Golden Locks team, CA License LCO4446) installs single and double-cylinder deadbolts from Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale, plus Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders for doors that need more. Every install includes a reinforced strike plate anchored with 3-inch screws, the detail most quick installs skip and most forced entries exploit.
The price you approve covers hardware, fitting, alignment, and fresh keys. When we leave, the bolt throws a full inch with a soft turn, the door seals evenly, and you know exactly what stands between your family and the street.

How it works
Call (657) 689-1515, new install or upgrade, wood or metal door, any existing hole? That sets the kit we bring.
See Grade 2 and high-security options in hand, prices attached. Honest guidance, no upsell script.
Bolt, cylinder, and reinforced strike installed and aligned, full throw, clean seal, smooth key.
You lock and unlock it yourself, from both sides, before we call it done.
Local & proud
Plenty of older Cypress homes, the 1960s tracts off Walker St, Moody St, and around the Civic Center, still rely on the original knob lock alone, and some have a deadbolt whose strike is held by two short screws into the trim. One hard kick tests exactly that weak point. Our installs anchor into the stud, which changes the math of that kick completely.
We also fit a lot of deadbolts for Cypress landlords between tenants and for families who added a side door or garage entry over the years. Any door a person can walk through deserves a real bolt, front, back, and garage alike.
Good to know
Here is what separates a show deadbolt from a working one: the strike. A strong bolt landing in a flimsy strike screwed into soft jamb wood fails at the frame, not the lock. We fit a heavy strike box and drive 3-inch screws through the jamb into the wall stud.
It adds minutes to the install and multiplies the force a door can take. If a previous installer skipped it, the upgrade alone, new strike, long screws, is one of the cheapest real security improvements we sell. Ask us to check yours while we are there.

Good questions
A Grade 2 deadbolt supplied and installed runs $110 to $165; high-security models run $185 to $295. Labor-only installs of your hardware are $55 to $85. The quote is confirmed before we start.
For most homes, a quality deadbolt plus a sound knob or lever is the right setup. Doors with glass panels near the lock may call for a double-cylinder bolt, we will advise with fire safety in mind.
Hardened, pick- and drill-resistant cylinders, a bolt that resists sawing, and restricted keyways, keys that can only be copied with your authorization card. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are the names we trust.
Yes. We bore the door cleanly with a jig, fit the bolt and reinforced strike, and touch up the edge. Metal and fiberglass doors included.
When brands allow, we key the new deadbolt to your existing house key so you are not adding another key to the ring. Just ask.
A standard install takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Adding a reinforced strike or boring a fresh hole adds a little time, all quoted up front.
