Question 1

I own a large single-family home in Dyker Heights — what is the best lock upgrade for a home valued over $1M?

Accepted Answer

For high-value Dyker Heights homes, we recommend a complete exterior lock system upgrade: Medeco Maxum or Mul-T-Lock MT5+ deadbolts on all exterior doors, reinforced door frames with 3-inch strike plate screws, and secondary locks on the garage entry door. If you have a home alarm, we can coordinate with your alarm company so the new locks integrate with your existing system.

Question 2

My Dyker Heights home gets a lot of holiday visitors in December — how do I manage keys for house cleaners and family?

Accepted Answer

Smart locks with code management (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure) are the perfect solution for Dyker Heights homeowners with seasonal household staff and visiting family. Set a different code for each person, delete codes instantly when not needed, and check entry logs from your phone. No key copies floating around indefinitely.

Question 3

Can you install a lock on a Dyker Heights basement bulkhead door?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Basement bulkhead doors are a common weak point on Dyker Heights single-family homes. We install heavy-duty hasp and padlock systems (with carriage bolt through-mounting to prevent pry-off), or a surface-mount deadbolt on steel bulkhead doors. We assess the door type and condition first — some older bulkhead doors need a carpenter before a lock does any good.

Question 4

The alarm company recommended I upgrade my Dyker Heights door locks — can you coordinate with them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work alongside security companies regularly. If your alarm company specified a lock grade or brand, we will install exactly that. If they are vague about specs, we recommend ANSI Grade 1 which exceeds insurance requirements and satisfies virtually all alarm company recommendations. We provide documentation of the locks installed for your records.

Question 5

Can you make an extra key for the nanny or house cleaner at my Dyker Heights home without compromising security?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We cut additional keys and can also set up a key management system for your home. For the highest security, a smart lock with individual access codes means you never have to worry about unreturned keys from former employees. When the nanny moves on, you delete their code — no rekeying required. We install and program these for Dyker Heights homeowners regularly.
