Home Security Checklist for Wantagh Homeowners
Whether you just moved in or have lived on Wantagh Avenue for years, these four security steps make a measurable difference in protecting your South Shore home.
Rekey After Moving In
The very first thing you should do when moving into a new Wantagh home is rekey all exterior locks. You have no way to know how many copies of the previous owner's keys exist — real estate agents, contractors, neighbors, and former family members may all have copies. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so only your new key works. It's fast, affordable, and the single most impactful security step you can take. K&D Locksmith NYC can rekey every lock in your new Wantagh home in a single visit.
Grade-1 Deadbolt on Every Door
Not all deadbolts are created equal. ANSI Grade-1 deadbolts — the highest residential rating — resist kick-in attacks, picking, and drilling far better than Grade-2 or Grade-3 alternatives. For Wantagh homes near Sunrise Highway or quieter South Shore streets alike, we recommend Schlage B60N or Medeco deadbolts on every exterior door including the side and rear entry. Our mobile van carries Grade-1 hardware in stock for same-day installation throughout Wantagh and Nassau County.
Reinforced Strike Plate
Most residential break-ins happen through door-frame kick-ins, not lock picking — because the average strike plate is secured with only 3/4-inch screws into soft wood. A reinforced strike plate with 3-inch steel screws that penetrate the wall stud makes your door dramatically harder to kick in. This simple upgrade costs very little and takes our technicians under 20 minutes to install on any Wantagh door. It pairs with your Grade-1 deadbolt to create a genuinely strong barrier against forced entry.
Peephole or Video Doorbell
Knowing who is at your door before you open it is a fundamental layer of home security. A wide-angle peephole is an inexpensive, effective start — we can install one on any solid door. For greater coverage, a video doorbell (Ring, Nest, or Arlo) lets you see and speak with visitors from anywhere via smartphone. K&D Locksmith NYC installs both options for Wantagh homeowners, and a video doorbell pairs perfectly with a smart lock to create a complete front-door security system on the South Shore.

Residential Locksmith FAQs — Wantagh, NY
Rekeying is usually the more affordable option and works well if your existing locks are in good condition. Replacing is recommended if the locks are worn, outdated, low-grade, or if you want to upgrade to a higher security level. K&D Locksmith NYC can assess your Wantagh home's current locks in person and recommend the best approach for your budget and security goals — with no pressure to choose the more expensive option.
For most Wantagh homes, we recommend Schlage or Medeco Grade-1 deadbolts. Schlage offers excellent durability, value, and wide compatibility with smart lock add-ons. Medeco provides superior pick and drill resistance for maximum security. Both meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards — the highest residential rating available. We carry both in our mobile van and can install the same day at your Wantagh address.
Yes. We install smart locks from all major brands including Schlage Encode, August Wi-Fi Smart Lock Pro, Yale Assure, and Kwikset Halo. Our technicians handle full mechanical installation and digital setup so your smart lock connects properly to your Wi-Fi network, smartphone app, and any existing smart home system (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit). Smart lock installation typically takes 30–60 minutes on-site at your Wantagh home.
First, rekey or replace all exterior locks immediately — you never know who has copies of the previous owner's keys. Second, install Grade-1 deadbolts on every exterior door including side and back. Third, add reinforced strike plates with 3-inch screws to protect against kick-in attacks. Fourth, install a peephole or video doorbell so you can see who's at the door before opening it. K&D Locksmith NYC can handle all four steps in a single visit to your Wantagh address.
Pricing depends on the specific service: a standard home lockout typically runs $75–$150, rekeying a single lock cylinder is usually $25–$50, and deadbolt installation ranges from $50–$150 depending on the hardware selected. K&D Locksmith NYC always quotes upfront before starting any work — no hidden fees, no surprise charges. Call (646) 881-2746 for a free estimate tailored to your specific Wantagh job.
