Lock Replacement & Installation in Berkeley

Replacement is the answer when the lock itself is finished: a deadbolt whose bolt no longer clears the strike, a tailpiece sheared off inside a knob, a mortise case in a brown-shingle whose century-old lever springs have gone flat at last, a side gate above Euclid Ave held by a hasp that any hand can lift. Campanile Lock & Key carries deadbolts, knobs, levers, handlesets and a working stock of mortise replacements on the van.

Nothing comes off the door before it is measured. Thickness, backset and bore all vary: a door from the 1910s was prepared for hardware that is no longer made, and a door from the 1960s may have a bore already opened past standard by a previous owner. Where the existing preparation fits, a swap takes twenty to thirty minutes a door. Where it does not, the door is drilled or filled and you see the fit before the lock is mounted. On a mortise door the usual route is a modern case dropped into the original pocket with the old knobs, rosettes and plates put straight back, so the door reads the same from the hallway. Keys are cut on site and matched to your other doors if you want to carry one key.

Fitted, the range is $105 to $285 a lock with hardware included. A Grade 3 residential deadbolt is the $105 end. Grade 2 deadbolts, lever sets, a full handleset with a matching deadbolt, and mortise replacements reach $285. The $89 visit is counted inside the total. Evening work adds $35 and overnight adds $70, both named before you agree to anything. Restricted cylinders and unusual door preparation are quoted at the start, not discovered at the end.

Describe the door and send a photograph of the lock face if you can. The figure is agreed there. A text names the technician and the window. On site: measurement, removal, fitting, strike adjustment, key cutting, and a test of the door closed against compressed weatherstrip, because a bolt that throws with the door open proves nothing at all. Card or tap, receipt itemized lock by lock.
