Signs it's time to call a residential locksmith
A little attention now beats a lockout or a break-in later. If any of these ring true, a quick visit sorts it out.
- You just moved in. A lock change or rekey means no previous owner's key still works.
- Keys lost or stolen. Rekey the locks to protect your home security straight away.
- Locks feel stiff or sticky. Lock repair or replacement before one fails and locks you out.
- A key snapped off. Broken key extraction, then a fresh key cut for the lock.
- Only a knob, no deadbolt. Deadbolt installation is one of the best value home security upgrades.
- Too many keys. We can rekey your locks so a single key opens every door.
- After a break-in. Emergency lock replacement and reinforced hardware to feel safe again.
- Rental turnover. Landlords rekey between tenants so old keys never open the place.
Homeowner questions
Common residential questions
I just moved in, should I rekey or replace?
If the existing locks are in good shape, rekeying is usually the smarter, cheaper choice, it makes every old key useless while keeping your hardware. If the locks are worn or low quality, replacing is worth it. We'll tell you honestly which applies. See our rekey vs. replace guide.
Do you bring the locks with you?
Our vans carry a range of quality residential locks in common finishes, so most jobs are done in one visit. If you want a specific model or finish, let us know when you call and we'll source it.
Can you match all my doors to one key?
Yes. As long as the locks are compatible, we can key them alike so a single key opens your front, back and side doors, no more juggling a crowded keyring.
Do you repair locks or only replace them?
Both. A sticky or misaligned lock can often be repaired or adjusted rather than replaced, which saves you money. When a lock is genuinely worn out or damaged, we'll recommend lock replacement and explain why.
Can you install a deadbolt where there isn't one?
Usually, yes. Adding a deadbolt means boring the door and frame accurately, exactly the kind of clean lock installation we do every day. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to boost your home security.
