Replacing Locks & Door 101

  • VoSKILL Builds 4352 Forest Hill Blvd West Palm Beach United States (map)

You just moved in, lost your keys, or bought a new lock… now what?

You’re staring at your door with a screwdriver in hand, hoping YouTube will magically make you a locksmith.

This class is for anyone who’s ever tried (and failed) to swap out a deadbolt, tighten a door that won’t close right, or figure out why their doorknob spins endlessly.

In this beginner-friendly, hands-on class, we’ll walk you through how to confidently change out locks, replace doorknobs, fix latches, and get doors aligned — without stripping screws or losing your temper.

Whether you’re upgrading security, fixing a stubborn door, or just trying not to look like a maniac wrestling a hinge, this class will show you how to handle it all with the right tools and a little know-how.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Swap out deadbolts and doorknobs — smart locks, too

  • Adjust hinges and strike plates to fix doors that won’t close or latch

  • Understand door swing and fit so you know what to buy and how to install

  • Use the right screwdrivers, bits, and hand tools for clean, damage-free installs

  • Avoid common lock install mistakes (like upside-down keys or misaligned bolts)

No experience needed.

Tools provided for in-class use.

Take home our “Lock & Latch Quick-Change Guide.”
