ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts installed to current FL building code.
A deadbolt is the single most important lock in your Delray Beach home. The knob handle latch slows a determined intruder by about 5 seconds; the deadbolt makes the door functionally unkickable when properly installed with a reinforced strike plate and long screws into the framing stud.
Premier installs ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts (the highest residential rating) with a full hardware kit: 1"-throw deadbolt, reinforced strike plate, 3" screws into the stud (not just the jamb), and adjusted alignment so the deadbolt throws fully without resistance.
Common Delray installation: a homeowner has a Grade 3 builder-grade deadbolt and is upgrading after a neighborhood incident or insurance recommendation. We swap for a Schlage B60N (Grade 1) and reinforce the strike with a 3"-screw kit. Total: $185 - $325 per door, 30 - 45 minutes per deadbolt.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
