Why Strongbox Lock & Safe Co. Is Peachtree Corners’s Preferred Lock Installation & Rekey Company
We’ve served Peachtree Corners homeowners and property managers for over 42 years. In that time, we’ve learned the rhythm of this market: the 1980s tract homes turning over with original Kwiksets still on the doors, the gated townhome clusters along Spalding Drive with their HOA-controlled gate systems, and the tech-sector families near Technology Park Atlanta who want Schlage Encode or Yale Assure locks integrated with their existing Z-Wave hubs.
Our customers in River Plantation and Haynes Creek call us back because we quote the full price on the phone and show up when we say. Background-checked, uniformed technicians present ID at every door. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no argument.
Peachtree Corners sits at the intersection of old Atlanta suburban stock and new smart-city infrastructure. That mix demands a locksmith who can both rekey a 1992 Baldwin deadbolt and commission a biometric lock for a home office. We’re that company.
Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Peachtree Corners
Smart Lock Installation
Peachtree Corners homeowners near Technology Park Atlanta were among the first in Gwinnett County to adopt app-controlled deadbolts. We’ve installed August, Schlage Encode, and Yale Assure locks in dozens of homes here, and we’re seeing a second wave: firmware updates, battery-contact cleaning, and Z-Wave hub re-pairing for locks installed three to five years ago. If your smart lock drops offline every humid July or the auto-unlock fails when you pull into the garage off Peachtree Parkway, we can diagnose whether it’s a network issue, a power issue, or a door-alignment problem specific to your home’s frame.
Our Lock Installation & Rekey team also handles new retrofits on older doors. Many Peachtree Corners homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have 1-3/8″ interior doors or non-standard bore holes. We carry adapter kits and can enlarge or relocate the bore without damaging the door.
Keyless Entry Systems
Keyless entry in Peachtree Corners means different things depending on your neighborhood. In the single-family subdivisions off Holcomb Bridge Road, we often install standalone keypad deadbolts for families who don’t want to distribute physical keys to housekeepers or dog walkers. In the townhome communities with HOA-controlled gates, keyless entry frequently means coordinating with the property manager to ensure your new lock works with the community’s master key schedule.
We stock Schlage and Kwikset keypad models in the finishes most Peachtree Corners ARBs approve: satin nickel, aged bronze, and matte black. We check your HOA’s architectural guidelines before we install, so you don’t get a violation notice for a non-compliant finish.
Keypad Lock Installation & Repair
Keypad locks take more abuse than people expect. Georgia’s humidity corrodes contact points. UV exposure fades rubber buttons. In Peachtree Corners, we replace more keypad locks due to environmental wear than due to mechanical failure. If your lock still accepts codes but the motor struggles to throw the bolt, the issue is often a swollen door frame binding the mechanism, not a dead battery.
We carry replacement keypads from Schlage and Kwikset on our trucks, and we can typically complete a swap in under an hour. For HOA-controlled properties, we verify the new lock’s keyway matches the community’s system before we leave.
Biometric Lock Installation
Biometric locks, fingerprint readers in particular, appeal to Peachtree Corners’s tech-forward residents. We’ve installed them on home offices, wine rooms, and gun safes in homes near Curiosity Lab. The technology has matured: current models from brands we carry enroll multiple fingerprints, work with wet or dry skin, and integrate with smart-home systems.
Installation requires precise bore alignment. A biometric lock’s sensor housing is less forgiving of a misaligned door frame than a traditional deadbolt. In Peachtree Corners’s climate, we always check summer frame swelling before we mount the hardware. A door that closes cleanly in March may not in August.

Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Peachtree Corners Homes
- HOA finish violations. In River Plantation and Haynes Creek, the architectural review board actively enforces approved door hardware colors and styles. White or bronze Schlage are typical. We verify your HOA’s spec sheet before we install, so you don’t face a violation notice and costly rework.
- Summer frame swelling. From May through September, Georgia humidity swells the wood door frames common in 1980s and 1990s Peachtree Corners homes. A deadbolt that aligned perfectly in February binds by August. We elongate strike boxes and plane frames during installation to prevent seasonal call-backs.
- Non-standard door prep. Many Peachtree Corners homes from the suburban boom era have 1-3/8″ interior doors, smaller bore holes, or backsets that don’t match modern hardware. We carry adapters and can re-drill without splintering the door.
- Gate keying mismatches. In Spalding Ridge and similar townhome communities, replacing a lock on an HOA-controlled gate without confirming the keying system breaks access for residents and management. We coordinate with property managers to match the community master key schedule.

FAQs - Lock Installation & Rekey in Peachtree Corners
Satin nickel, aged bronze, and matte black are the most commonly approved finishes in Peachtree Corners neighborhoods like River Plantation and Haynes Creek, with Schlage and Kwikset being the preferred brands. Some HOAs specify white or bronze exclusively. We keep copies of common Peachtree Corners HOA architectural guidelines on file and verify your community’s spec before we install. Call (877) 664-8139 and we’ll confirm your finish is compliant - estimates are free.
Generally no, provided the smart lock matches the approved finish and does not alter the door’s exterior appearance beyond a standard deadbolt profile. Most Peachtree Corners ARBs regulate color and style, not technology. We install Schlage Encode and Yale Assure models that look identical to traditional deadbolts from the outside. We’ll review your HOA’s guidelines before we quote. Call (877) 664-8139 for a flat price and compliance check.
We elongate the strike box and, if necessary, plane the frame during installation so the deadbolt throws freely even when the wood swells from May through September. In the Spalding Ridge townhomes, we replaced a worn Kwikset deadbolt on a common-area gate with a Schlage B60E in satin nickel per the HOA’s color spec. The original strike box had swollen from summer humidity, so we planed the frame and elongated the strike to prevent future binding, all while coordinating with the property manager to meet the ARB’s 48-hour repair deadline. This seasonal adjustment is standard on our Peachtree Corners installs. Call (877) 664-8139 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes, if your HOA uses a compatible keyway and authorizes the change. We coordinate directly with property managers in Peachtree Corners gated communities to match the community’s master key schedule. We cannot rekey to match without management approval - doing so would break the system for other residents. Call (877) 664-8139 and we’ll contact your property manager to confirm compatibility.
We carry adapter kits and bore enlargement tools for the 1-3/8″ interior doors and smaller bore holes common in 1980s and 1990s Peachtree Corners construction. Most jobs still complete in one visit. If the door is particularly thin or the bore is off-center, we’ll tell you on the phone so there are no surprises. Call (877) 664-8139 for a flat quote - estimates are free.
