Residential Locksmith Services

More than most people expect. It covers installing new locks, repairing ones that have started sticking or turning roughly, rekeying so old keys stop working without replacing the hardware, upgrading to smart locks or higher-security deadbolts, extracting broken keys, and general inspection to catch small problems early.

Not necessarily from a mechanical standpoint, but "the key still works" and "I know exactly who can get in" are two separate questions. A functioning lock with an unknown number of keys in circulation — after a move, a past renovation, a former tenant — is still worth addressing even if nothing feels broken.

By looking at the actual hardware rather than guessing based on its age. A lock that's sound but turning roughly usually just needs repair. One that's genuinely worn past reliable service gets an honest recommendation to replace it.

Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working, while everything visible about your door — the deadbolt, the finish, the hardware itself — stays exactly the same. Replacement means new hardware from the ground up. Rekeying is faster and less expensive, and it's what solves most people's actual concern.

Usually, yes. We confirm compatibility with your specific door and existing hardware before recommending anything, since not every setup works with every system on the market.

Yes, that's a service on its own. A general assessment can catch small issues — a slightly misaligned strike plate, a weakening spring — before they become a bigger problem or an unexpected lockout.

You could try, but small mistakes in lock work tend to surface weeks later, not immediately — a cylinder that's not quite seated, a lock that sticks intermittently. Getting it done properly the first time means not dealing with it twice.

Usually within a reasonable scheduling window, depending on your location.

The underlying services are the same, though each home's hardware gets assessed on its own terms.

Yes, generally, provided the existing hardware is in decent working condition.

Rekeying is often the cheaper option and works fine as long as the existing hardware is in good condition. We'll tell you if a lock is old enough that replacement makes more sense.

Yes — we install and set up most major smart lock brands, and can walk you through the app pairing before we leave.
