Manual garage-door cylinders and side-entry door locks.
Garage door locks split into two types: (1) the manual T-handle cylinder lock on the garage door itself (for backup when the opener is unavailable), and (2) the side-entry man-door lock (the door from the garage into the house, or from the garage to the side yard).
Premier services both. Manual T-handle cylinders are usually a 15 - 25 minute swap; side-entry man-door locks are the same as standard residential deadbolts (30 - 45 minutes).
Common Delray garage calls: a homeowner wants to disable the manual T-handle cylinder entirely (because it's actually a weak point - intruders can defeat the cylinder and use the manual release to lift the door). We can either replace the cylinder with a high-security version or disable it entirely and add a slide-bolt to the inside of the door.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
