Security Lock Installation in Austin, TX

Did you know that protecting your family and home from external invasions is now easier than ever? Home security systems are increasingly more affordable and available. Some system designs include interior and exterior motion and glass-break sensors, floodlights, video doorbells, security cameras, and more. You may not need a whole-house security system. Even if that’s the case, you can still install new security locks on your home’s entry doors to provide more protection from would-be burglars.

Security Lock Standards – What You Need to Know

When installing new deadbolts or locks on your home’s entry doors, choosing products with the Builders Hardware Manufacturer Association (BHMA) Certified® Secure Home™ label is important. This label assures you that the door locks have been tested and certified to the highest performance standards in three areas.

What Do the Ratings on a BHMA Certified® Secure Home™ Label Mean?

Each Secure Home™ label will contain a rating for a lock’s security, durability, and finish. The ratings indicate how well the product performed during testing. An A rating means Best. A B rating means Better, and a C rating is Good.

Security ratings are a safety measure for how well a lock or deadbolt can resist impact. The impact could be from a possible intruder or the result of extreme weather conditions. A durability rating measures how well a deadbolt or lock functions after repeated long-term use. It also measures how well the hardware operates with excessive weight on the door, such as a hanging purse or bookbag. A finish rating measures how well door hardware withstands weather events and other factors, such as sun exposure, humidity, saltwater, dew, and even the oils from our hands, without causing discoloration or corrosion.

How are BHMA Ratings Different from ANSI Ratings?

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) also uses a rating system based on rigorous testing. ANSI testing includes operational, cycle, strength, security, material evaluation, and finish categories. The ANSI rating system uses Grade 1 for the highest level of security, Grade 2 for intermediate security, and Grade 3 for basic security. Commercial and institutional facilities typically use Grade 1 locks. Grade 2 locks are popular residential locks, and many of today’s smart locks fall in this grading category. Lock grade 3 is the least secure of the three lock grades.

I first used this company to install a tankless water heater and extremely pleased with professionalism and quality of work performed from the guys that came out. I just recently had a water leak somewhere in the walls. Beto again came out and worked hard to find the leak. Nope not that easy. So with his knowledge of the way the original builder/plumber should have installed the plumbing he went to work opening up the wall. He found the leak, repaired it by installing new water lines to the manifold and was a treat to have in our house. Very professional and such a nice man. I would not call another plumbing company to work at my home even for half of what they charge (which I will add is a lot less than others). Thanks so much..

I had them come hang 2 light fixtures and mount my large tv. They were friendly, proffesional and fairly priced. I will use them again for all handyman services.

I was in a pinch, and Madison got me taken care of even while she was on vacation. She was able to get me on the schedule in just two days, and even gave me pricing up front...which if you've called a plumber before you'd know that is almost unheard of without them having to come out to do an "evaluation" first. Hope to not need a plumber again, but will definitely call these guys back if I do!

Extremely efficient and polite crew installed two Stealth Niagara toilets without a hitch and for a reasonable rate, no surprises. Removed all packing materials and old toilets. Very happy customer.

I called Indigo after receiving a bid from another company. The bid was less than 1/2 of the bid from the other company and Indigo came 5 days faster. When there is no hot water in your home it seems like an emergency. Indigo treated my situation like an emergency. After scheduling the repair they came on time, worked with my HOA for a temporary water shut off and installed the water heater. I had hot water within 3 days of calling. I would recommend them to anyone needing home repairs. They are the best.

I had 2 ceiling fans installed and am happy with how they turned out. My installer arrived slightly early (which is a plus), wore covers on his shoes in the house, and spoke with me about any questions or issues that arrived. He was professional and took his time to do a good job instead of a quick job. I will be looking into this business again for future projects.
