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.

We repair:

  • Sticky or loose locks

  • Garage entry doors
  • Apartment units and duplexes

Frequently Asked Questions about our home lock services

Your most asked questions — answered by our locksmith experts

What should I do if I'm locked out of my house?

If you’re locked out, call us right away. Our mobile locksmiths arrive fast and use professional tools to unlock your door without damage.

Can you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?

Yes! Rekeying is a cost-effective way to change who has access to your home. We adjust the pins inside your existing locks so old keys no longer work and give you a new set.

How long does it take to rekey a house?

Most homes can be rekeyed fairly quickly, depending on the number of locks. Our mobile locksmiths arrive fully equipped and complete the job on-site in a single visit, ensuring fast, professional service without delays.

Can I upgrade my home’s security with better locks?

Yes, we install high-security deadbolts, smart locks, and reinforced hardware to enhance your home's protection. We’ll assess your doors and recommend the best upgrade options.

Do you duplicate house keys on-site?

Yes, we can cut spare keys for your home while we’re at your location and we offer 50% off your second key. All duplicates are tested for accuracy before we leave.

Is it worth upgrading to a smart lock for my home?

Smart locks offer keyless entry, remote access, and added convenience, especially for families, rentals, or busy homeowners. We’ll help you choose the right model and handle full installation and setup.
