A door with only a knob lock is a door with a single point of failure. Adding a proper deadbolt is one of the highest-return security upgrades a homeowner can make, and it's a job Liza Locksmith completes on-site anywhere in the Phoenix metro. We handle new drills on doors without existing prep, upgrades to existing deadbolt bores, and conversions from single to double cylinder where local code allows. Deadbolts we install are ANSI grade-1 or grade-2 commercial-adjacent hardware — the throw is longer, the metal is heavier, and the cycle life is measured in decades, not years.

We inspect the door thickness, existing prep (or lack of it), and jamb condition before quoting. New drills use proper jigs to preserve door integrity. Jambs get reinforced strike plates with 3-inch screws that anchor into framing, not just the trim — this alone is the single most effective upgrade against forced-entry attacks in stucco Phoenix construction.
Real security-rated deadbolts, not builder-grade throwaways.
3-inch screws into framing — the strike is the weakest link on most residential doors.
Proper jigs preserve door integrity; no chipped edges or misaligned bores.
We'll flag any double-cylinder request that would violate local egress code and explain the alternatives.

"Just moved into a new house and had Liza rekey the front, back, and side doors plus install a new deadbolt. Fast, clean, and explained everything before starting. Fair price, no upsell."
"Got locked out of my apartment at 11pm with my toddler inside. The technician arrived in about 20 minutes and had the door open in a couple of minutes without any damage. Absolute lifesaver."
"Had a Kwikset smart lock installed on our front door. The technician set up the keypad, taught us how to add codes, and even rekeyed the back door to match. Everything works flawlessly."
