High Security Deadbolt Locks in Greenacres, FL
Deadbolt locks Greenacres homeowners have on their front door are not all built to the same standard, even though most of them look about the same on a door. Greenacres Locksmith Services installs and services high security hardware for homeowners who want real protection, not just a lock that looks the part.
What Grade One Actually Means
Deadbolts are rated by the ANSI/BHMA grading system. Most homeowners have never heard of it. When a locksmith recommends “grade one,” this rating is what they mean — the real difference between a lock that resists a kick-in attempt and one that does not.
Builder-Grade
Standard on most new homes. The minimum level of protection typically installed by default.
Standard Upgrade
A step up, sold at most hardware stores. Better than builder-grade, but not the strongest option available.
Commercial Strength
Survives far more force before failing. The rating a locksmith means when they recommend “grade one.”
High Security Door Locks and What Makes Them Different
High security locks go beyond just a stronger deadbolt body. We install high security locks from brands like Medeco alongside standard grade one options, depending on what fits your budget and needs.
Reinforced Internal Parts
Built to withstand far more force and repeated stress than standard hardware.
Pick-Resistant Pin Setups
Designed specifically to resist the common tools and techniques used to defeat a lock.
Harder-to-Copy Keys
Restricted key control means keys are much harder to duplicate without permission.
Reinforced Strike Plates
A strong deadbolt is only as good as what it locks into. This single upgrade is one of the most cost effective security fixes a Greenacres homeowner can make, and it’s often overlooked entirely.
Standard Strike Plate
A thin piece of metal held in with short screws that only reach the door trim — one of the weakest points on most doors.
Reinforced Strike Plate
Heavier metal with longer screws that reach into the door frame stud, not just the trim.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deadbolts and High Security Locks in Greenacres
Is a Grade One Deadbolt Worth the Extra Cost?
For most homeowners, yes, especially on primary entry doors. The price difference between grade two and grade one is usually small compared to the added resistance to forced entry.
Do High Security Locks Slow Down Break-Ins That Do Happen?
Yes. High security locks are built to resist common attack methods like picking, bumping, and drilling far longer than standard hardware, which either deters an attempt entirely or buys real time if one occurs.
Can I Upgrade Just My Front Door or Do I Need to Do All of Them?
You can upgrade one door at a time. Most homeowners start with the front entry, then move to back and side doors as budget allows.
Does a Reinforced Strike Plate Work With My Existing Deadbolt?
In most cases, yes, since it is a frame-side upgrade rather than a change to the deadbolt itself. We can confirm compatibility during the visit.
