KEY COPYORLANDOKEY COPYORLANDOLock installation · Orlando · Lake Nona · Horizon West · Dr. Phillips
Deadbolts, smart locks, keypad locks and high-security cylinders installed on Orlando homes and condos. We match the hardware grade to your door and frame, carry stocked inventory on every van, and finish most single-door installs in one visit.
Key Copy Orlando installs and upgrades door locks for every entry point in your home — deadbolts, knob and lever sets, smart locks, keypad locks, and high-security cylinders. That covers new construction, retrofits on existing doors, and matching an entire home to one key. Our technicians carry stocked hardware and the bore-and-mortise tools to fit locks correctly to your door, not just the box the lock came in.
Lock installation is fitting a new lock — deadbolt, knob, lever, smart, or keypad — into a door, whether the door already has a bore hole from an old lock or needs one cut for the first time. It includes measuring the door thickness and backset, cutting or adjusting the mortise, setting the strike plate into the frame, and testing the latch and bolt throw. Done correctly, the lock closes flush and the bolt engages the frame fully — the difference between hardware that lasts and hardware that fails within a year.
Lock installation terms, in plain English — tap a term
Backset
The distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock hole — usually 2⅜" or 2¾". New hardware has to match your door's existing backset or the bolt won't line up with the strike plate.
Strike plate
The metal plate set into the door frame that the bolt extends into. A misaligned or undersized strike plate is the most common reason a "new" lock still feels loose or won't latch cleanly.
ANSI/BHMA grade
Locks are graded 1 to 3 for strength and durability. Grade 1 is commercial-duty and best on exterior doors that take real wear; Grade 3 is standard builder hardware. We recommend the grade based on the door and how exposed it is.
Retrofit vs. new bore
A retrofit reuses the existing hole pattern in your door; a new-bore install cuts fresh holes for hardware that does not match what is already there. Retrofits are faster and cheaper — we check compatibility on the phone before we quote.
Smart lock
A Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Z-Wave deadbolt opened with a code, phone, or fingerprint. We confirm the deadbolt cutout is compatible before installing and configure the access codes on site.

Deadbolt, smart lock, keypad, or high-security cylinder — we confirm brand, finish, and backset so the technician arrives with the right hardware the first time.

In a branded vehicle, fully identified, with stocked deadbolts, knob sets, and smart lock hardware for the most common door thicknesses and backsets.
04
We measure, bore or retrofit as needed, set the strike plate flush into the frame, and mount the lock so the bolt throws fully — not just a lock that looks installed.
05
We cycle the lock, confirm smooth latch and bolt engagement, program any codes or app pairing, and hand over your new keys or credentials on the spot.
Six situations that call for new hardware, not a repair — each with a fix matched to your door.
Swipe all six
01
New construction in Lake Nona, Horizon West and Winter Garden often ships with builder-basic Grade 3 hardware. We upgrade exterior doors to Grade 1 deadbolts before you move furniture in.
02
Standard knob-and-deadbolt combos on an older home offer minimal resistance to forced entry. We swap in graded deadbolts and reinforced strike plates on the doors that matter most.
03
Code entry for guests, cleaners, or a vacation rental without handing out physical keys. We confirm door compatibility and set up access codes during the visit.
04
Worn cylinders, cracked housings, or stripped mounting holes sometimes can't be fixed on site. If a repair isn't viable, we say so and quote a replacement instead.
Lock repair05
Damaged frames and compromised locks need replacing, not patching. We install upgraded hardware the same day and can rekey the rest of the house in one visit.
Lock change06
Multi-point locking systems on French and sliding doors need hardware matched to the exact gearbox and strike geometry. We source the correct parts rather than forcing a mismatch.
Rekeying locksStocked inventory across every major brand — Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Emtek, August and Medeco.

Orlando's new-construction boom in Lake Nona, Horizon West and Winter Garden means thousands of homes move in every year with the same builder-basic hardware — a Grade 3 knob-and-deadbolt combo chosen for cost, not security. It is functional, but it is also the first thing we recommend upgrading before you have moved a single box inside.
Older neighborhoods run the opposite problem: College Park, Delaney Park and Thornton Park bungalows often carry mortise locks and non-standard backsets that modern hardware does not fit out of the box. We check the existing bore pattern on the phone so the technician arrives with hardware that actually fits your door, not a generic kit that needs a return trip.
One visit, correctly fitted hardware — the strike plate seated flush, the bolt throwing fully, and a lock that still works the way it should a year from now.
Cost depends on lock type, whether the door already has a matching bore, and how many doors you're doing at once. Your exact number is quoted on the phone before we schedule — hardware and labor both included.

Yes. We can install new hardware keyed to match your current key, or set multiple new locks to one shared key (keyed alike) across a house in a single visit.
Usually. Most residential doors use a standard 2⅜" or 2¾" backset, and most modern hardware retrofits into an existing bore. Older homes with mortise locks or non-standard backsets sometimes need extra fitting — we check this on the phone before quoting.
Most exterior doors with a standard deadbolt cutout are compatible with major smart lock brands including Schlage, Yale, August and Kwikset. We confirm compatibility before the visit and configure access codes and app pairing on site.
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts on exterior doors that see real exposure — front and back doors, especially on ground-floor units. Grade 3 builder hardware is fine for interior or low-risk doors. We match the grade to the door during the quote.
Yes. New builds in Lake Nona, Horizon West and Winter Garden typically ship with basic hardware — we upgrade exterior doors to graded deadbolts and can keyed-alike the whole house before you move in.
A single deadbolt or smart lock install typically takes 20–45 minutes. Multiple doors, French door multi-point systems, or high-security cylinders take longer — we give you a time estimate with the quote.

"Moved into a new build in Horizon West and the front door lock felt flimsy from day one. They swapped it for a Grade 1 deadbolt and keyed the back door and garage entry to match — one key for everything now."
"Had a Schlage Encode installed on our front door before a trip. They checked compatibility on the phone first, so there were no surprises, and set up codes for the dog sitter while they were here."
"Our 1940s bungalow in College Park has an old mortise lock nobody wanted to touch. They sourced the right hardware instead of forcing a modern kit that would not fit. Clean work, no drama."
Deadbolts, smart locks, high-security cylinders — quoted on the phone and installed same day in most cases.
