HOME LOCKOUT SERVICE
Locked out of your house or apartment? We’ll get you back inside quickly, safely, and without damaging your door or lock.
Whether you left your keys inside, lost them entirely, or your lock is jammed, our mobile locksmiths are trained to use non-destructive tools to get you in fast. We serve homes, condos, and apartments across Columbus and surrounding areas.
We help with:
- Standard key locks
- Keyless entry systems
- Deadbolts and knob locks
- Jammed or frozen locks
We prioritize your safety, privacy, and property every time.
LOCK REKEYING
Moving in? Lost a key? Need to reset access to your home? Rekeying is the most affordable and secure way to do it.
Rekeying means we change the pins inside your existing lock so the old keys no longer work, and we give you a brand-new set. It’s fast, secure, and much cheaper than a full lock replacement.
Ideal for:
- New homeowners or renters
- Landlords between tenants
- Lost or stolen keys
We rekey all major lock brands and ensure smooth operation with your new keys.
SMART LOCK INSTALLATION & SETUP
Want keyless access, remote control, and enhanced home security? We install and configure smart locks on any residential door.
Smart locks allow you to unlock your door with a keypad, app, or Bluetooth connection and even control access while you’re away. We install models from top brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more.
Our smart lock service includes:
- Full installation and door alignment
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing
- App setup and passcode programming
- Tutorial so you know how to use it
Perfect for families, rentals, Airbnb hosts, or anyone who wants to ditch the keys.
LOCK REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Worn, jammed, or broken locks make your home vulnerable. We can fix or replace them on-site often in under an hour.
Our locksmiths inspect the lock, determine whether it can be repaired or should be replaced, and offer clear options. We carry high-quality replacement hardware and offer same-day installation.
We repair:
- Sticky or loose locks
- Locks that won’t turn or align
- Broken internal components
- Weather-damaged deadbolts
If repair isn’t possible, we’ll install a brand-new, high-security replacement.

DEADBOLT INSTALLATION
Add extra protection to your doors with durable, ANSI-grade deadbolts professionally installed and properly aligned.
Deadbolts are your home’s first line of defense against forced entry. We install single-cylinder, double-cylinder, keypad deadbolts, and reinforced strike plates for added security.
Common applications:
- Front and back entry doors
- Garage entry doors
- Apartment units and duplexes
- Basement and side doors
We ensure your deadbolt fits perfectly with your existing hardware and door structure. Protect your home with stronger locks.
MAILBOX, GATE & PATIO LOCKS
Don’t forget the other entry points. We repair, replace, and install locks for mailboxes, garden gates, side doors, and sliding patio doors.
These areas are often overlooked, but they’re important for keeping your home and personal property secure. We install rust-resistant, weatherproof hardware and rekeyable locks when needed.
We work on:
- Curbside and wall-mounted mailboxes
- Chain-link or wood gates
- Patio sliders and glass doors
- Detached garage and shed doors
Secure every access point.
SAFE OPENING & LOCK RESETS
Can’t open your safe? We’ll unlock it and reset the combination if needed.
Whether you’ve forgotten the code, lost the key, or the dial is jammed, our technicians can open your safe discreetly and without unnecessary damage. We handle both mechanical and digital safes.
We open:
- Home safes and fireproof boxes
- Wall safes and floor models
- Keypad or dial-entry safes
- Safes with lost or dead batteries
Need to reset or change the safe combination? We do that too.
SPARE HOUSE KEY DUPLICATION
Need an extra house key? We’ll cut duplicates on-site while we’re there and your second key is 20% off.
Extra keys give peace of mind and reduce the risk of lockouts. Whether it’s for a family member, roommate, cleaner, or just for emergencies, we’ll cut accurate, high-quality keys on demand.
We duplicate:
- Standard house keys
- Double-sided keys
- Keys for deadbolts, knobs, and levers
Key copies made on-site, tested, and guaranteed to work.
