Old Engineer isn’t a big franchise with big franchise prices. We’re experienced, detail-oriented professionals who believe upgrading your locks shouldn’t cost a fortune. You get careful workmanship, straightforward pricing, and someone who takes the time to make sure the app actually works before leaving.
Please note: we replace locks on doors with an existing standard deadbolt bore. If your door needs new holes drilled, major repair, or a full door replacement, we’ll tell you upfront.
We provide electronic door lock installation in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, and surrounding Triangle communities.

Most major models do. Tell us what you use and we’ll make sure the lock you choose plays nicely with it, and we’ll connect it during installation.
