If you’re in Phoenix and you need a lock installed, we’ve got you covered. At ACME Locksmith, we’ve installed tens of thousands of locks across the Valley—and we don’t mess around when it comes to doing it right.
You’re not just buying a lock. You’re trusting someone to protect your home, your business, and the people inside. That’s why every ACME lock installation comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and we’re licensed, bonded, and insured in the State of Arizona (ROC #271563) for your peace of mind.
Installer Services
Whether you’re upgrading old locks, adding extra security, or getting ready for a smart home setup, we’ll help you choose the right lock for the job—and make sure it’s installed to last.
For Your Home
We install locks on houses, condos, apartments, and rentals throughout Phoenix. That includes:
- Smart Locks – Control from your phone, use a PIN, or go key-free with fingerprint access. Great for short-term rentals and busy families.
- Single-Sided Deadbolts – The standard for front doors. We make sure they’re installed at the right height and reinforced to resist kick-ins.
- Double-Sided Deadbolts – Perfect for doors near glass. Adds extra protection, but we’ll explain where code allows them and where it doesn’t.
- Half Deadbolts – These go on the inside only. Adds strong security without showing anything from the outside.
- Knobs & Levers – Interior or exterior, we’ll match the right function to the right use. Levers are also easier to operate and ADA compliant.
- High-Security Locks – Pick-resistant, drill-resistant, and bump-proof. Great for homes that need a serious upgrade.
- Gate Locks – Keyed and keyless gate lock installation
For Phoenix Businesses
We install locks for offices, retail, schools, medical buildings—you name it.
- Commercial Levers & Deadbolts – Built for high-traffic use.
- Panic Bars & Push Bars – For code-compliant emergency exits.
- Mortise Locks – Heavy-duty and built into the door for better security.
- Exit Indicator Locks – Required by city code on some storefronts. Helps employees and customers know if the door is locked or not.
- Occupied Indicator Locks – Great for bathrooms or private rooms.
- Master Key Systems – Control access while keeping things simple for your team.

Lock Installation Done Right
It’s not just about slapping a lock on the door. Our process ensures everything fits tight, lines up, and holds strong.
- Remove the old hardware
- Prep the door—fill, drill, or clean up the opening
- Install the new lock correctly to meet building codes and security requirements (not too high, not too low)
- Reinforce strike plates with 3-inch screws
- Test for smooth function and strength
- Program smart locks if needed
- Provide extra keys if you need them
Avoid These Common Mistakes
Here’s what we fix most often from DIY jobs or bad installs:
- Wrong screws – Most locks come with short screws. We use 3-inch ones to anchor deep into the frame for improved security.
- No strike plate reinforcement – Without this, a door can pop open with one kick.
- Bad alignment – A crooked lock or door wears out fast and sticks. We can adjust the door and door hardware to ensure smooth operation
- Wrong lock for the door – We match the right lock to the door and its purpose.
