Why CaptainLock

We Match the Lock toYour Budget, Not the Other Way Around

We don’t push one brand or one price point. We work with Schlage, Weiser, Kwikset, Yale, Emtek, ASSA ABLOY, and our residential best-seller, Doorex, and help you choose the right lock for what you actually need and want to spend.

One Key, One Company,No Runaround

With our experience across mechanical locks, smart locks, keypad and card entry, and even fingerprint access, we can key your whole property to the same key or a proper key control system most people call three or four companies for this, we do it all in one place.

Real High-Security Hardening, Not Just a Better Lock

A high-security upgrade is more than one strong security door lock it’s making the whole door hard to force. We install the CX5 high-security key system with restricted keyways and key control, plus door and window security bars, security plates, latch guards, astragal plates, kick-proof plates, and more.

  • Latch guards – covering the gap between door and frame so a card or screwdriver can’t pop the latch
  • Security plates – steel plates covering the deadbolt completely
  • Reinforced door handles
  • Astragal plates – full-length steel covering the door-frame gap
  • Electric strike security plates
  • Metal door wraps
  • Kick-proof plates – anchored into the studs or concrete behind the frame
  • Window and storefront security bars, folding gate installation
  • Interior-only locks

Add alarm systems, access control, and CCTV for a space that’s loud, slow, and monitored if someone tries.

We'll Tell You When Something Can't Be Installed

Some doors have a vertical rod inside the frame drilling through would damage it, so we won’t do it. And the question we hear constantly: “Can you put a deadbolt on my sliding patio door?” No patio doors slide, they don’t swing. We install proper sliding door hardware instead.
