We’ve served the communities around Flower Mound for over 42 years.

Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Flower Mound
Smart Lock Installation
Smart lock installation in Flower Mound typically costs $180-$340 per door, including the lockset, Wi-Fi bridge if needed, and integration with your existing deadbolt prep. In Flower Mound’s HOA communities, we see strong demand from corporate relocations - families moving in from Chicago, California, or the East Coast who want keyless entry for kids coming home from school or dog walkers while parents commute to DFW Airport or Las Colinas. We install Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and Kwikset Halo units that fit standard 2-1/8 inch bore holes without modifying most 2000s-era doors. For the larger homes common here - 3,500 square feet and up with four or five exterior doors - we can key all smart locks to work with a single physical override key while maintaining separate digital codes.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems in Flower Mound run $150-$280 installed, covering keypad deadbolts and lever sets that replace your existing hardware. This is our most-requested upgrade in The Landing and Wellington, where homeowners who’ve dealt with binding deadbolts seasonally want to eliminate the daily key-fumble entirely. We stock Schlage and Kwikset keypad units locally, so most Flower Mound installs happen same-day. The combination of clay-soil door-frame shift and frequent rekeying needs makes keyless entry particularly practical here - change your code instead of calling for a rekey when a contractor, realtor, or former housekeeper needs access revoked.
Keypad Lock
Keypad lock installation in Flower Mound homes averages $140-$260, with commercial-grade units for home offices or rental properties at the higher end. We see steady demand from Flower Mound’s corporate-relocation families who maintain home offices with separate side entrances - the three-car-garage-with-side-entry layout common in 75022 and 75028 makes a keypad on that secondary door especially useful for deliveries and service personnel. Our techs carry strike plate hardware sized for the seasonal frame movement this city sees, so your keypad lock latches cleanly even when the door shifts between March and August.
Biometric Lock
Biometric lock installation in Flower Mound starts around $220-$380 per door for fingerprint-enabled deadbolts from brands we trust. While less common than keypad or full smart locks, we install these for homeowners in the city’s upscale communities who want the fastest entry without codes or phones. Fingerprint readers have improved significantly - the units we carry from Schlage and Yale handle the temperature swings of North Texas without the false-rejection problems earlier generations had. For Flower Mound’s larger homes with multiple family members and frequent guests, we can set primary fingerprints plus temporary access codes as backup.
Electronic Lock
Electronic lock covers a broad category in Flower Mound - from basic push-button mechanical units at $120-$180 installed to full motorized deadbolts at $200-$320. Many 1995-2010 homes here still have the original Kwikset or Schlage deadbolts that are now seizing from internal spring corrosion; an electronic upgrade often costs only slightly more than replacing with premium mechanical hardware while adding convenience. We quote flat prices on the phone for electronic lock installs in Flower Mound, and we carry the common prep sizes for doors from this city’s main building eras.
Key Duplication
Key duplication in Flower Mound runs $4-$12 per standard key, with high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock blanks at $18-$35. After rekeying a home - common with every corporate relocation and home sale - we cut duplicates on-site from our mobile key machines. For the six-lock rekeys routine in Flower Mound’s 4,000-square-foot homes, we typically cut four to six duplicates immediately so every family member and your backup set are covered before we leave. We stock Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco key blanks locally; obscure or discontinued cylinders may need a day to source.

Trusted Brands We Service in Flower Mound
We install and service Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco hardware as our core stock for Flower Mound homes, with Abloy available for high-security applications. These aren’t random choices - Schlage and Kwikset dominated builder specifications in Flower Mound’s 1995-2010 housing boom, so our trucks carry the direct replacements, rekeying kits, and compatible smart retrofits those homes need. Medeco cylinders upgrade existing Schlage and Kwikset housings without replacing the full lock, a popular middle path in Wellington and The Landing where homeowners want better security without the aesthetic mismatch of changing all door hardware. We keep common parts on hand in our Lewisville inventory, which means most Flower Mound jobs finish in one visit rather than two.
Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Flower Mound Homes
- Builder-grade Kwikset deadbolts seizing after 15-20 years. In subdivisions like Wellington, the internal springs in 1995-2010 Kwikset units corrode to the point that rekeying is impossible - the cylinder won’t turn smoothly enough to repin. We replace with new hardware rather than force a rekey that fails six months later.
- Seasonal clay-soil frame shift throwing deadbolts out of alignment. Flower Mound sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells and shrinks dramatically. Deadbolts that latched cleanly in April bind or miss the strike entirely by July. Our crews carry longer-throw strike plates as standard stock for this exact pattern.
- Original mortise locks on 1970s-80s Grapevine Lake homes with obsolete parts. The small pocket of older homes in 75022 near the lake still have cylindrical or mortise hardware that hasn’t been manufactured in decades. Rekeying is often impossible; we retrofit with modern units that fit the existing door prep without carpentry.
- Three-car garage side entry locks sticking from foundation movement. The side-entry door to a three-car garage is a Flower Mound signature layout, and it’s often the first lock to show alignment problems as the garage slab settles differently than the main house. We see this call weekly in The Landing.

What moves you within these ranges? Hardware grade is the big variable - a Schlage B60N deadbolt costs less than a Medeco Maxum, and a Yale Assure Lock SL with Wi-Fi runs more than a basic keypad. Door condition matters too: a door frame warped in the February 2021 freeze may need shimming or strike plate adjustment before new hardware will seat properly. We quote your exact price on the phone after asking which locks, how many doors, and what neighborhood you’re in. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice.

FAQs - Lock Installation & Rekey in Flower Mound
Your deadbolts bind seasonally because Flower Mound’s Blackland Prairie clay soil expands when wet and contracts during summer droughts, shifting door frames in 1990s-2000s wood-framed homes by 1/8 inch or more. Deadbolts that aligned perfectly in spring often miss the strike plate by midsummer. We solve this with longer-throw strike plates and proper shimming, not just repeated rekeying. Call (877) 664-8139 - we’ll diagnose it over the phone and quote a flat price to fix it permanently.
Rekey if the locks are 2010 or newer and operating smoothly; replace if they’re original 1995-2005 builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage with stiff cylinders, visible corrosion, or keys that stick. In Wellington specifically, we’re seeing clustered failures as entire streets hit the 20-year mark simultaneously. We’ll inspect your hardware at no charge and give you a straight answer on which locks have life left. Call (877) 664-8139 to schedule.
Usually no - the mortise and cylindrical locks on 1970s-80s homes in the 75022 Grapevine Lake area often use obsolete pin configurations or internal parts that haven’t been manufactured in decades. We can retrofit modern hardware that fits the existing door prep without carpentry work, preserving your door’s integrity. Call (877) 664-8139 and we’ll ask for photos or a description to confirm your options before we roll.
Extremely common. The three-car garage with side entry is a signature of Flower Mound’s 2000s-era homes, and the garage slab often settles independently from the main foundation, throwing that door out of alignment faster than front or rear entries. We carry extended-throw strike hardware specifically for this pattern, and we see it weekly in The Landing and Wellington. Call (877) 664-8139 - it’s usually a 30-minute fix with the right parts on the truck.
Yes - Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and Kwikset Halo units fit standard 2-1/8 inch bore holes without door modification, which satisfies most HOA aesthetic requirements in Flower Mound’s master-planned communities. We avoid brands with proprietary apps or unusual finishes that create problems at resale. Call (877) 664-8139 and we’ll confirm your HOA’s specific guidelines if you have them.
