Changing to a Deadbolt Lock

When you get a door lock cylinder replacement and choose a deadbolt you gain a lot.

You gain the ability to stay calm while going out to work or when going to a hangout.

You gain the sense of security to sleep at your home without the chance of stray delinquents getting in your home.

But some might say the best thing about getting a deadbolt is that locking sound.

The sound of the bolt ramming into the side of the door assuring you – that door is firmly locked shut.

If this is your first time getting a deadbolt you should know, using an old lock on your door is quite hazardous, a regular bolt can be swiftly opened with the slide of a card, due to the use of a spring mechanism.

However a deadbolt is quite literally a DEAD-BOLT, meaning it’s dead in place, you can’t move it unless you use the cylinder lock incorporated in it.

This is why deadbolts gained such a brand name, it’s such a small change but with such a big difference.

Deadbolt Repair or Cylinder Lock Replacement

Change Cylinder in Deadbolt

Once you have a solid deadbolt in place, you don’t need to change it (in cases such as moving to a new home), you can just replace the cylinder lock within it.

Some deadbolts use a very specific deadbolt which can be a problem when fitting a new cylinder lock without a locksmith, and some offer the use of a standard cylinder lock which offers a more “open” deadbolt cylinder replacement.

Deadbolt Latch Replacement

Some deadbolts come as a single unit, deadbolt and lock only, some companies offer a set, with a deadbolt lock and a spring-loaded latch door handle.

The latch on the door handle and the bolt of the lock can both get misaligned or wear out.

Our professional locksmith staff has seen any issue with any lock, including misaligned latched, broken latches, and broken strike plates.

If your lock is worn out and needs a pick-me-up, call us and get services today.

I got locked out of my house around 11 PM and searched for a local locksmith in River Edge. I called American Star Locksmith, and they were at my door within 20 minutes. The technician was very polite and explained exactly what he was going to do before starting. Within a minute, I was back inside. The price was very reasonable, especially for that hour of the night. I was extremely happy with the service and would definitely call them again. Highly recommend!

We recently moved into a new home in Teaneck and called American Star Locksmith to rekey all the locks and replace our main entry door. The locksmith explained everything clearly before getting started, worked neatly, and made sure all the locks used the same key, which makes things much easier for us. Everything was clean when he finished, and we’re very happy with the service. Thank you, American Star Locksmith!

We had stopped using our backyard because the lock on our Andersen sliding door was stuck. American Star Locksmith came to our home in Old Tappan, carefully opened the door, and replaced the lock and latch. The door works properly now, and we can use the backyard entrance again instead of walking around the house. We’re very grateful for the help and would recommend their service.

I lost my car key at Garden State Plaza in Paramus, so I went home to River Edge to look for my spare. When I couldn’t find it, I called American Star Locksmith. The technician was already near my home, and kindly drove me back to the mall. He made me a new key in about 20–25 minutes and charged a very fair price. Everyone was courteous and helpful. I highly recommend American Star Locksmith!

I recently moved into my home in Tenafly and called American Star Locksmith to replace the locks. They arrived within about 25 minutes and changed the locks on all three doors. They also keyed them alike, so I can use the same key for every door, which is very convenient. I’m very happy with the service, the quick response, and especially the fair price. I would definitely recommend them!
