We replaced the front door locks at a home in Cresskill, NJ, for a couple who had recently moved in. Their existing deadbolt was difficult to turn, and the keyed entry lever was sticking. They wanted to replace the worn hardware and start life in their new home with fresh keys that would leave the old ones unusable.
Just moved in or struggling with a sticking door lock? Call American Star Locksmith at (201) 613-2700 to schedule a lock replacement.
Before removing the hardware, we inspected the door’s existing lock openings, latch alignment and strike plates. This helped us determine how to fit the replacement locks correctly while avoiding unnecessary damage to the door.
New Deadbolt and Keyed Entry Lever
We removed the old components and installed a single-cylinder deadbolt with a keyed entry lever, both in a satin nickel finish. The replacement addressed the two pieces of hardware that had been causing problems and gave the homeowners a new set of keys.
The photo shows the matching locks on a white entrance door with a large glass panel. A round deadbolt sits above the curved lever handle, with each lock fitted into its existing position. The satin nickel hardware complements the door’s light finish without changing its overall appearance.
For these homeowners, the work served two practical purposes: replacing locks that were becoming troublesome to use and removing access through the previous keys.
