Rekey or replace?

If your locks work well and you only need to control who has a key, rekeying is usually the lower-cost option: we change the pins inside the cylinder and give you new keys. If a lock is worn, damaged or simply not strong enough, a lock change or a new deadbolt makes more sense. We will explain both options and the price of each before we start.

Each service van carries key-cutting equipment, common lock brands and installation hardware, so most residential jobs can be finished in a single visit. Need extra copies? See our key cutting service.

Frequently asked questions

Can you open my front door without damaging it?

In most lockouts we can open the door using non-destructive methods. If a lock is damaged or high-security, the technician will explain the options and costs before doing anything.

I just bought a house. Should I rekey every lock?

It is a sensible first step, because you cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist. Rekeying all exterior doors to one key is common and usually costs less than replacing the locks.

Do you install smart or keypad locks?

Yes. We can install digital and keypad locks and make sure the door, strike and deadbolt are aligned so the lock works smoothly.
